My Approach

Psychological wounding isn’t generally just something that needs fixing but rather can be seen as a hidden guide to what is truly unique about an individual. Therapy at its most effective can be seen as a kind of alchemical container for the human soul to transform every day suffering into compassion and meaning. We might reimagine the exploration of emotional pain as a non linear and non literal journey towards ever deeper levels of soul awakening.

About Me

You may think of counselling as a way of finding some support through life’s difficulties and that is certainly valid. But what if the therapeutic journey also allowed life to reveal itself to you in exciting, satisfying, challenging and sometimes scary ways? One could perhaps re-imagine it as a mythical struggle born of the desire to be free from pain but ultimately pointing to a deeper understanding of what it is to be alive.
Therapy is a relationship, I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is responsible for much of the healing that takes place, the deeper the sense of trust the greater the chance of change. For me it is a privilege to witness someone like you as you start to trust that you can allow who you fully are to emerge and having someone to accompany you on that journey makes all the difference.

For 12 years, starting in the late 90’s I helped create a charity that pioneered outdoor camping retreats, an experience that shaped and inspired my Buddhist influences. Later I felt drawn back to to the Psychological and the Soulful and a powerful Transpersonal Training at Re-Vision in London. I enjoy living in rural Devon where my interests include Tai Chi, Improvised acting, Dancing and still think I can play a bit of football!. My counselling practice is grounded in over 30 years of personal growth work and inspired by the Human capacity to be ever more present with life’s rich experience. I have been working as a Therapist since 2012 and in Private Practice for nearly 10 years.
