Psychotherapy:   I aim to provide a supportive environment where you will feel deeply understood and which may enable exploration of your inner world.    When appropriate, I gently challenge in order to facilitate understanding and growth.  This work is long term and in depth.  Generally, we will work with issues from childhood or the past which impact on the present.  We may also explore meaning and purpose for deeper fulfilment.  The relationship between your body, mind and feelings and the felt sense are important components of this work and mindfulness may be used in the sessions to help promote deeper awareness. 

Counselling:   Short term and focussed in order to address a specific issue, counselling is usually between 5 and 8 sessions.  I have worked with many issues in both long and short term therapy, including depression, low self-esteem, mental health, relationship problems, sexuality, sexual abuse, work related issues, stress and anxiety, bereavement, lack of meaning and life crisis.

Supervision:  Contemplative supervision for therapists, including other health professionals. 

Mindfulness:   A mindful perspective is included in all my work; one-to-one counselling, psychotherapy and supervision. Being present to whatever arises in the session through focussing on the breath is part of this work. Experiencing and accepting ourselves exactly as we are can help to liberate us from unnecessary suffering.

I occasionally run an 8 week course based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programme.  This is an intensive course aimed at introducing mindfulness into everyday life.  Please contact me for dates and details of the next course.

Spirituality/awareness:   Working in depth on matters relating to awareness and spirituality, including sexuality, loss, crisis, transition and emergence.  Acceptance and self-inquiry are included in this.

Other: - Specialist training in working with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and somatic trauma therapy
