Napoleon Forde

Provisional Psychologist

About Napoleon

Napoleon is a Provisional Psychologist who works with adults and adolescents (16+). He takes a goal-directed, evidence-based approach to therapy, working collaboratively with clients within a space that is open, non-judgmental, and curious; with the belief that meaningful progress comes from tailoring sessions to each person's values, motivations, and individual experience.

His approach is informed by a cognitive framework, grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, drawing on complementary evidence-based approaches to help clients identify and reshape patterns of thinking and behaviour so they can better align with their values and future goals.

Areas of Interest
