Anita Blackwell – Clinical Psychologist and Registrant

I have been working in this space for over 15 years, working predominately with adults who struggle with knowing what type of relationship they want, understanding why it is important and what they want to achieve in a relationship either with themselves or others.

My training intertwines the Gottman Method, the Couples Institute Developmental Model, Attachment and Polyvagal Theories which places me in a position to assist both individuals and couples in the areas of:

Trust

Loss of self

Lacking safety and protection

Communication

Boredom

Unable to make decisions

Not knowing how to separate

Avoid closeness, avoid conflict, pushing away, nagging, misunderstandings, blame, shame, judgement, defensiveness

Guilt, cheating, infidelity

Resentment

Emotional reactivity

Unhelpful thoughts

Focus on weaknesses and being caught in a negative cycle.
