My Approach

I could tell you about my approach…

I could tell you that, because we are all faced with big questions about our lives, our sessions will always have existential dilemmas beneath them.
I could tell you that, because we are a social species, our sessions will always have something relational and humanistic ticking away in the background.
I could tell you that, because different parts of our minds, formed at different times in our lives, are always interacting with each other, that our work will involve teasing out a few of those psychodynamics.
I could even tell you that, because we are caught up in the stories of our lives, Western philosophy and Eastern practices will set you free.

And, sure enough, those things are all on offer.* But I’m interested to know what is different about you, what your soul nature is and what will help you live that out.

The world needs people who are truly themselves. So… if you interested to find out whether we will work well together, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

*(Some other things I offer as part of our work: Meditative techniques, dreamwork, creative visualisations, drawing, unravelling physical symptoms and mastering uncomfortable feelings, plus coaching and mentorship to professional writers and performers.)

About Me

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, we'll approach things in a compassionate, optimistic spirit. We'll master any struggles you may be facing and allow the best parts of you to flourish and bloom. I offer a welcoming and relaxed therapy experience, where you can feel comfortable addressing any issues you are facing.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Most creative people through history would have the kind of ADHD style we now see as problematic. While this style and trait has unexpected advantages, when it creates problems in the rest of life, managing and training focus becomes the optimum tool. It's also useful to understand how attention deficits come about, again from our surroundings in early life.
Harnessing the useful energy that anger holds, to move with purpose through life, is a useful skill to acquire through therapeutic work. Clients will also benefit from learning how to allow this uncomfortable feeling to diffuse naturally without it burning out of control, and to integrate into their lives, the messages that it might hold.
A person should always have some anxiety if they are healthily facing existential dilemmas. However, when anxiety has become too great, we can look at the roots of this, particularly where an inherent sense of safety was not integrated early in life. We can also work through the body to regain that sense of safety.
"Who am I?" is a question we all ask ourselves. Whether you are searching for yourself, or changing your ideas of self, the therapeutic mirror is essential in that process. We can solidify the person you truly are, allowing you to confidently present yourself to the world.
All kinds of traumas need to be approached sensitively and over time. Much of this work is done through body awareness and biofeedback, but a good, healthy therapeutic relationship is essential to hold that.
