CASE EXAMPLES

This section of the website is a list of case examples that highlight a condition that was either managed or resolved whilst the client and myself were working together.

The purpose of this section is to show examples of what kind of issues I might work with, as well as what my treatment plan is approximately for said issue. In this manner any prospective client can see what my therapeutic approach entails and can then decide whether they believe a similar approach would be appropriate for themselves. There are several other mental health issues I treat which do not yet have a case example related to them. Please feel free to email to see if I work with the condition you would like to address. 

Currently I have the following case examples presented:

CASE ONE: Phobia – Client CR approached me regarding a phobia of cats. This case demonstrates how I approach working with phobia. It also features a detailed explanation of the BWRT level one process.   

CASE TWO: General Anxiety – Client TN dealing with heightened anxiety. She has a narcissistic mother and alcoholic husband resulting in a complex relationship with both on them. In addition she is dealing with a narcissistic and childish boss. The case demonstrates a variety of methods used to manage said issues. 

CASE THREE: PTSD related to childhood & self esteem – Continuation from case one, we tackle client TN’s PTSD relating to childhood trauma via memory adaption and level two BWRT which focuses on self-image. 

CASE FOUR: Alcoholism and Sexual Assault – Husband of TN. Excessive drinking each day, he is dealing with the trauma called by sexually assaulted when younger. Here I demonstrate how BWRT can be used on the memory of the sexual assault. We then work on development of a healthy routine and boundaries as well as BWRT related to alcoholism. In addition I use several CBT tools.

CASE FIVE: Persistent Depressive disorder & Motivation – Client MV shows signs of depression, fatigue, hopelessness and lack of motivation. A combination of CBT, introspective writing, goal orientaion tools are used as well as BWRT for to development of motivation is used. 

CASE SIX: PTSD related to military service – Client YR has nightmares and anger issues relating to accidentally killing civilians during war. Here we use CBT, BWRT and socratic reasoning to manage the guilt and PTSD symptoms. 

CASE SEVEN: Pornography Addiction – Client GK has issues around controlling pornography use, fidelity and management of a shame fetishism. This case involves going through his past and coming to an understanding why these fetishisms have occurred and managing them appropriately.

CASE EIGHT: Marital Counselling – Continuation of case eight where I work with client BK and her husband GK on their relationship issues. Involves elements of the Gottman technique and CBT use. 

Please note: All names have been changed and some other details have been minorly altered in keeping within the therapeutic alliance and a sensible code of ethics. However the basic facts and treatment plan are kept as truthful as possible.
