Getting to know Gavin Williams

Hi there, I'm Gavin! We all seek connection, a sense of belonging, and also we seek to have a sense of purpose and value. When we find ourselves in relationships where we feel a lack of connection or a sense of being undervalued by our partner we tend to lose vitality and/or security. Let us work together to rediscover who we are meant to be. My focus Couples and families finding yourself stuck, circling around ever increasing toxic patterns? Individuals finding yourself stuck in a negative spiral of emotions? I work with couples, families and individuals with a similar focus on addressing negative patterns communication, behaviors and emotions. My approach I have been trained in multiple approaches including EMDR and EFT. I am open to many approaches but my overarching belief is that we can and do heal individually and as a couple or family. We will first explore deeply the patterns of behavior, belief and emotions that underpin dysfunction and then we will decide and implement a chosen treatment. My communication style As a clinician who advances connection in relationships I aim to be authentic as possible without judgement, aiming to create an atmosphere of empathetic but franc discussion of past, present and future directions. My journey to mental healthcare Following a painful divorce myself I came to understand the significant benefit of mental health treatment and eventually came to believe I could help others as I myself was helped. My goals for you A meaningful therapeutic relationship is itself part of the goal in treatment. The collaboration between client or clients and the therapist can address couple issues, various mental health symptoms or even family dysfunction. Our first session The first session is a conversation. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling like we will work well together and have a sense of hope for improvement with whatever brings us together.
