Noam is a psychologist with a warm, gentle, empathetic and non-judgemental interpersonal style. He strives to create a safe and secure therapeutic relationship where clients can feel accepted, understood and also supportively challenged.
Approach
Noam’s therapeutic approach is flexible and guided by each client’s individual needs and preferences. Time in therapy can be spent exploring the past in order to make sense of one’s self and current experiences, or alternatively, therapy can remain focused on the individual’s present situation with a view to improving life into the future.
Noam strongly believes that every individual has the capacity to live a rich and meaningful life. He works collaboratively with clients and draws on a range of evidence-based practises to help clients better manage difficult thoughts and emotions, and/or problem behaviours that might get in the way of valued and purposeful living.
