Margo is the Director of Open Sky Psychology. Due to her research into adult change and development, Margo tends to see many life dilemmas as opening up a path to personal growth. She enjoys helping her clients work through everyday and existential dilemmas – and encourages them to consider and confront their own questions about life meaning, in a self-compassionate way.
She sees most dilemmas as being, in some way, existential problems, and most anxiety and depression as simply part of the human condition, along with the preferred states of awe and joy.
Margo’s online course, Know Yourself: Stages on the Path to Personal Growth, presents a little known theory of how adults can change and transform, right throughout their adult lives. Her PhD research looked deeply into how this theory explains the process of adult growth, and her own research explored whether sudden changes, following epiphanies or profound moments of insight, may be a way that the usually gradual process of change is accelerated.
Her areas of interest are:
- Life Purpose and Direction
- Anxiety and Depression
- Adult Change and Growth
- Relationships
- Work / Life Balance
- Grief and loss
- Existential Dilemmas
