Do you struggle with long-term depression, a sense of feeling trapped in low mood which previous approaches have not been able to shift? Maybe you diligently practice cognitive-behaviour or other therapy techniques but are not able to access the life vitality which you know to be possible? Maybe you do all the right things, including exercise, friendships, work, healthy diet, yet still suffer from pesky low-mood swings and bouts of accompanied anxiety? Or maybe you function well on a day-to-day basis but find you are "distant" from experience, like as if there is a glass wall between you and the pleasant moments of life?
Over the last 15 years I have developed a keen interest and good track record in helping adults, specially men, shift depression and its effects. I use an integrative approach informed by Eastern and Western psychological theories, and wide-ranging life experience including indigenous shamanic practices, psychedelic therapies and hospital experience.
You will find therapy with me goes beyond the more usual "validating" stance of most therpists, with a skillful mix of challenge, empathy, frankness, and pertinent sharing of personal life experience, which I feel are key for shifting deeper forms of depression. I wish you strength on your journey, and look forward to hearing from you if this page resonates.
