Our personalized approach is customised to your circumstances in order to work on yourself.
Private and Confidential Sessions
Individual sessions provides a private space where you can work one-on-one with a therapist to address personal concerns and gain deeper self-understanding. Through guided conversations, you’ll explore underlying emotions and thought patterns that influence your behavior. This process helps you identify core beliefs—including self-criticism—that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential.
Sessions typically take place weekly, creating a consistent structure for your therapeutic journey.
Our Individualised framework allows individuals to do the inner work on themselves to resolve their underlying issues, so they do not keep coming back.
Whatever issues are arising, we are here to help
- Relationship Issues
- Feeling Depressed
- Suffering Anxiety
- Attachment Trauma
- Anger Management
Doing the inner work on yourself
Often people feel their problems are caused by others, feeling helpless to change their life. So they run away or move on from difficult situations, rather than know how to deal with them. A quick solution may seem like moving countries, changing jobs or moving onto new partners, to start over again. The problems often re-occur until we work on them. Change occurs when we change.
According to James Masterson (1988) many individuals who have not fully developed their sense of self, may struggle to take responsibility for their problems, and avoid dealing with them by feeling being helpless to face situations and deny the impact that they can cause in their life. Many avoid how they really feel (real self) but responds by defending against unwanted emotions and avoid facing reality (false self). When they hide, the ‘self’ remains impaired and unable to manage feelings, using defensive coping mechanisms, that causes them to further escape reality, instead of dealing with life.
Ignoring the warning signs that something is off can cost you yourself and lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms in order to escape, such as moving onto relationships quickly, addictions and infidelity. The more we ignore our feelings or concerns, the more ‘out of order’ one can feel, which can worsen the situation. It can lead to feeling anxious and depressed. A person can remain stuck in self-perpetuating and self-defeating behaviours, looking for some quick fix to avoid what is really going on inside. If left too late, these behaviours can take control of oneself and wreak havoc on all aspects of one’s life.
Embracing the real self
Have you ever noticed times you had a genuine connection and had a sense of personal meaning and passion in life, or even overcame hurdles in life? This is your real self, and if it fully awakens, you can feel more fulfilled. But because of life circumstances, the real self gets squashed and protects itself by adopting a false self that feels safe, but actually ends up sabotaging us and our relationships.
Nancy Carbone utilizes the Masterson treatment approach, that helps the real self to emerge, so it can cope with life and can modify stuck patterns of behavior. Individual therapy allows those to activate their real self, promote stability in work and relationships. Individuals can see themselves and others more accurately, while feel more cohesive in themselves and foster a stronger foundation for their relationships.
As a Masterson trained psychotherapist in Perth, Nancy is specialised in rebuilding the impaired self in order to become strong enough to better manage life difficulties. By Developing the self, one an move forward from being stuck.
