Welcome to my website, whatever interest has brought you here. In these pages I try to give you some idea of who I am and the ways in which I work.
I have a holistic approach to the process of healing and self-development, which combines many threads and can benefit every level of your being. I use healing as a cover-all term, in its original meaning of becoming whole. This to me conveys both the sense of restoring something lost, and the sense of fulfilling one’s true nature and potential.
I offer psychotherapy and counselling, energy healing, shamanic healing and astrology within a comprehensive practice which has evolved over the last twenty-five years. I find that combining healing with psychotherapy work is enormously beneficial, to the extent that these days I rarely take on a client for psychotherapy alone. Many people prefer us to work together by drawing on all these approaches fluidly, as needed. For instance, an exploration of the astrological chart can greatly help to expand and clarify self-awareness and provide a timely focus for our work together.
There is no pressure from me to take any particular route. My intention is to make available a range of therapeutic options, so that you can explore what works best for you.
We can work long-term, short-term or in single sessions, depending on what we agree will best meet your needs. When we meet, we will arrive together at an understanding of what is likely to be most helpful to you. We will monitor what works for you and what doesn’t. You should feel an immediate benefit from our work, but of course the length of time necessary to achieve the changes you want will depend on many variables. When we meet we will discuss all this openly together.
Clients come to me from a huge range of perspectives. Some want to explore the transpersonal or spiritual: others need to focus on personal emotional turmoil. Some want a quick remedy for a phobia or specific stress, while others place a high value on understanding the ‘big picture’ of their lives. Many couples come to work on their relationships.
Increasingly, clients are choosing to work on collective issues such as our relationship with the Earth, animals and plants, and with profound political issues.
Whatever direction you are coming from, if we decide to work together I will accompany you where you need to go, and draw on any and all of my resources, according to your needs.
