What to Expect

Therapy is a journey, not a quick fix. I provide a compassionate and safe space where you can express yourself freely and without fear of judgments. Together we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations to develop a clearer sense of who you are and what matters most to you. Whatever your challenges and therapy needs we’ll work at your pace, exploring your emotions and experiences, and focusing on your goals.

 Our work together will focus on:

  • Understanding your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
  • Exploring past experiences and how they affect your present life
  • Developing coping strategies for managing stress, anger and difficult emotions
  • Enhancing self-awareness and self-acceptance
  • Improving relationships and communication skills
  • Building resilience and fostering personal growth

I have extensive experience working with clients facing trauma-related issues such as sexual assault, childhood abuse, physical and emotional abuse, and substance misuse. I have trained with leading trauma experts, including Peter Levine and Gabor Mate, enabling me to provide effective trauma-informed care.

Drawing on over 30 years of personal meditation practice, I integrate mindfulness into my therapeutic work. This approach fosters self-awareness, self-care, and emotional resilience, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. By cultivating mindfulness, you can develop a deeper connection with yourself and gain insight into your thoughts and emotions.

I welcome diversity of all kinds. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and hold space to explore the richness, complexity and interplay of identity, race and culture. My preferred pronouns are he/him.

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt a blessed illusion!
That a spring flowed
inside my heart.
I said, along which secret channels
do you come to me?
Water of new life
that I have never tasted.

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt a blessed illusion!
That there was a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white wax
and sweet honey
with my old failures.

Antonio Machado, Spanish poet
