Looking for help to reduce unpleasant states such as ruminating, fears, obsessive thoughts, persistent negative feelings or judgments? Often these are indicators of anxiety or depression. Both states respond exceptionally well to Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. Developing awareness of your thoughts and emotions through paying attention helps free you from those states.
More here about how to apply mindfulness to life situations. I truly believe Mindfulness-based psychotherapy brings out the best of human possibilities. However, negative emotional states, distorted perceptions, or old attitudes and patterns of behavior can get in the way. But they don't necessarily condemn you to an unsatisfactory life. You're not locked in to how things are now, even if you feel like that, but with the skillful guidance I offer, can shift things more to your liking.
From a cognitive mindfulness perspective, we'll focus a little less on your childhood, or history looking for what's "wrong" about you, more on what's going on in your life right now, how you'd like it to be different.

Relationships are one of the two most important areas in our lives (the other being work), and often the most difficult!
Research indicates that the way our parents relate to us as kids, becomes the 'default program' for our future way of relating.
An attentive, empathic, nurturing parent(s) will raise a child who relates in that way.
For those raised by different role models, it can be a struggle to engage or sustain healthy, functional relationships.
Do you find the same arguments and dynamics between yourself and your partner happening?

The loss of big hopes or dreams for our life can leave us feeling aimless.
Our own, or a beloved's, body or mind declining due to illness or aging can be frightening.
Loss is universal, no-one is exempt.
Grieving is a normal psychological process of coming to terms with how things are.
Personally, I'm no stranger to this painful process.
Beginning with my father's death just after my 12th birthday, it took me more than 15 years to fully, finally accept the reality.
I'd like it to take far less time for you.
