My therapy will not look at why the narcissist in your life developed the disorder. It will focus initially on what happened and on clarifying the damage done to you and then move on to the healing work.

While the therapy is tailored to each client and their prevailing issues, overall my aim is to help you achieve a more concrete self-concept, with greater degrees of self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-compassion. Other work will include developing an academic knowledge of narcissism; grieving the abuse and coming to a less emotionally triggering acceptance that it happened; alleviating self-doubt; using chronic anger in a healthy way towards recovery; developing greater confidence; addressing trust issues; putting in place stronger boundaries and levels of assertiveness; learning strategies for dealing with narcissists and an enhanced ability to recognise them in the future.

This is a journey back to self and a letting go of all that went on, fortified for a whole new future.
