Dr Perry
Morrison

Perry Morrison is a Senior Psychologist who has learned first-hand  that you don’t know what you are capable of until a crisis tests you, and you can be surprised by your capacity to cope. This is true of life in general. It will inevitably test us and in the process tell us something about ourselves as well as changing us. Some of life’s tests are simply horrible and surviving them is a massive achievement. Others are much needed opportunities for growth and for engaging a new direction.

Perry is highly solutions focused in his overall approach. The past is important to understand, but it shouldn’t interfere with the enjoyment and flow of life. Most people heal, accept or recover from their wounds- both physical and psychological. If it were otherwise, then our species would not exist. Nevertheless, most wounds heal more effectively with care and the role of therapy is to harness the natural recovery mechanisms within us all.

Perry focuses less on clients’ alleged “deficits” (the harms inflicted on them by others and life itself) and works with client strengths, positive qualities and their vision for their future. This is framed within a context of pragmatism – what can be changed and what can’t – avoiding categorical thoughts of how life “should” be.

Ideally, it can build a sense of gratitude and appreciation for those parts of life where we were lucky or overcame barriers or experienced care, affection, kindness, help, support and growth.

Finally, it can develop a pathway or plan for living as optimally as possible, knowing more about ourselves and what we truly value.

Perry is passionate about helping people to see different perspectives and find solutions. He helps you to engage in a meaningful process of discovering who you are, what matters to you, what is holding you back and what can change. As a bonus you may even encounter what most of us seek: peace, joy, purpose and meaning.
