The term personality disorders are frequently used, often out of context, in conversation to refer to a group of medical conditions. There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around this term. I have worked with individuals who have these conditions, and I have witnessed how they can be very challenging to manage.
A damaged personality is often the result of early trauma and therapy is one way to address this and to grow into a person more comfortable with yourself. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
A 'personality disorder' is a dreaded diagnosis for many. Partly due to the stigma it attracts, but also because this umbrella term encompasses a varied set of personal and interpersonal difficulties that are persistent (are not confined in set period of a person's life), problematic and pervasive (affect more than one area of life).
I have an extensive experience working with individuals who either meet criteria for a personality disorder to experience some personality disorder traits. If you think this might be the case for you and would like to explore whether psychotherapy might be right for you, please get in touch.

As is the case with many psychological difficulties the first essential step is a rigorous diagnosis. In order to be diagnosed with a personality disorder a spread of personality traits must be disordered above the diagnostic threshold. The world standard in the diagnosis of personality disorder is the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) published by the World Health Organization. If a diagnosis is made there are treatments available that can be successful, but there are no easy fixes.
