Bart has expertise working with Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as well as Anxiety Disorders. He enjoys helping people with a ‘busy mind’, with a tendency to overthink and worry; people who struggle with ‘people pleasing’ and want to develop their assertiveness; and those who experience perfectionism or unrelenting standards.
