I am one of the Founders of Partners in Psychology. I started this, alongside Matt Miller, with the aim of bringing quality psychological treatment in an affordable and accessible manner. I value working with people to determine what is best for them and prefer to create a customized treatment plan to match the specific needs of the individual or couple. I will always be a Psychologist first and a Director second, as my clients and the work I do with them is the whole point of what I do.
We tend to get stuck when trying to get rid of “negative emotions”, there is nothing wrong with feeling upset from time to time. We often make things worse when we try to supress feelings that should be there given the situation we are in. By allowing ourselves the room to feel – we can handle a lot more than we often realise.
Being able to laugh at the difficult things in life is healthy and a great way of dealing with things. If we get stuck on trying to meet impossible standards all the time and judging our actions harshly – we won’t be free to process what we need to and won’t enjoy the little things. Stop judging that twisted sense of humour and just embrace it!
