“It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.” - D.W Winnicott
Introduction
I am a clinical psychologist with 8 years of experience in working with children, adolescents and adults in both private practice and in a psychiatric institution context. I find that psychotherapy can be very useful as it allows for one to be curious about oneself and allows for greater self-awareness.
