About

The clearest lesson of this work is that people are far more accurate about themselves than they are given credit for. Almost everybody who comes to me has already worked out what is wrong; what they lack is confirmation and a method, not insight. So I take your account seriously from the start. PTSD is often self-identified long before it is professionally confirmed, and people are usually right, having noticed the pattern themselves over a period of years. We check it properly, and then we get on with treatment rather than spending months establishing something you already knew. I came to this work as a client first, and being disbelieved early on cost me more time than I like to think about. I have no interest in doing that to anybody else. If you have already worked out what is wrong, I will start by believing you.
