What is therapy with me like?

Hi, I’m John

Many people think therapy is about achieving some specific thing and then your done. But I think therapy is about developing a process of thinking that helps you feel happy along the way.

You may have tried therapy before and you didn’t really get much out of it. But working with me is different.

I believe that therapy isn’t about just listening or offering generic advice. It’s about collaboration. It’s about slowing down long enough to examine your life, working out what it is that is making you feel stuck, and being your partner to help you find your right direction.

I became a therapist because it seemed like a way to actually help people live a better life. For the last 10 years I have had the privilege to help over 500 clients feel better with evidence-based therapy informed by practical philosophy.

Therapy with me feels reflective, fun, and meaningful. We will ask questions, we’ll challenge assumptions, and we will probably find a way to laugh about it all.

Most importantly, we’ll take time to focus on you. Together we’ll get you on the path to living a life that you actually enjoy.

Therapy isn’t just about solving your problems.

There is a term in philosophy called eudaimoia — which people often translate as happiness. But really it means something more like flourishing. Its not just joy, but a life condition that encompasses good feelings.

What you do in the present moment indicates what you do in the future. You have to aspire to love your life right now. If you want to enjoy life later, you have to enjoy life right now. There is no separation.

The process of finding your right direction, moving forward, and getting on the path to loving your work is part of life and it is part of feeling happier.
