Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
Narcissism is another Medical term that has found a life - and meaning - of its own in the general conversation. Narcissism, like most mental experiences, exists on a spectrum, and not all 'narcissism' is necessarily 'bad'. I have a particular interest in Narcissism and the attitudes, feelings and behaviours associated with it.

Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)—often referred to broadly as narcissism—is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Beneath a façade of ultra-confidence, however, often lies a fragile self-esteem that is vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Key Characteristics
Grandiosity & Entitlement: Unrealistic beliefs about one's superiority, talent, or achievements, along with an expectation of special treatment or automatic compliance.
Lack of Empathy: Difficulty recognizing, understanding, or valuing the feelings, needs, and emotional experiences of others.
Need for Constant Admiration: A continuous demand for praise, validation, and center-stage attention from partners, family, or colleagues.
Exploitative Behaviour: Using personal, romantic, or professional relationships to achieve personal ends without regard for the impact on others.
Fragile Ego & Defensiveness: Experiencing intense anger, contempt, or passive-aggressive behaviour (narcissistic injury) when challenged or criticised.
