Welcome!
My tranquil office is a safe and confidential space, where your concerns and issues will be heard without judgement. Together we will look towards a hopeful and actionable future.

Nice to meet you,
I'm Dr Gerhard Schwär.
People also call me Dr G, Oom or by my first name.
I have been lecturing and practising psychology for around 40 years.
Since 2018 this practice has been run on a full-time basis helping many people to get to a place of personal fulfilment, despite issues like depression, anger or unhappy relationships.
I assist adolescents, adults and couples, whether you are feeling stuck, desolate, stressed, frustrated, demotivated, whether your batteries have run dry or you just do not know where to turn next.
You could probably do with this opportunity to sit back, evaluate, contemplate and decide to move forwards. With a solution-focused perspective, I believe that you CAN be the best version of yourself again!
What does therapy involve?
-
You will be free to explain what brings you here
-
and what you hope to achieve from us talking (your future wishes, best hopes for yourself, working out how to get there), i.e. a vision of your future.
-
Hope and direction will then pave the way towards making small but meaningful changes towards the best version of yourself.
