Collapse-Aware, Decolonizing Psychotherapy.
Working outdoors and/or in a cosy cabin in the town centre.
Bearing witness to the collapse of multiple systems, more of us grow increasingly estranged from the values of capitalism. Watching the legacy of colonialism play out before us on the world stage while living with it inscribed on our bodies can push us to the edge of despair.
Psychotherapy in this time and place calls for Radical Hope.

My ideal client may have experienced trauma — something that touches most of us in different ways. I believe we learn and grow not only from our successes but also from our pain. Many clients come to me feeling the weight of post-traumatic stress; together, we work toward post-traumatic growth. While trauma is a common thread, I work with a wide range of presenting issues. My approach is to focus on the person, not just the problem, creating space for understanding, healing, and change.

I support adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or developmental trauma. Many feel frozen, hypervigilant, or disconnected from their bodies due to old imprints and attachment wounds. They come seeking a deeper connection to themselves and a way to release held patterns. I help them move forward by gently re-patterning the nervous system. Integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a music-based listening therapy—we acoustically stimulate the vagus nerve to restore safety from the bottom up, building emotional resilience and inner stillness.

I work with Neuro diverse needs, transpersonal and spiritual experience, geek culture symbolism and men's mental health issues amongst others.
The ideal condition to start therapy is simply the awareness that something is wrong or out of balance in ourselves, that things aren't working out how we feel they should or we are blocked in some way from living the life we want or need. We get as much from counselling as we are prepared to put in, and we need the resolve to start on a journey of self discovery and healing that will lead through some difficult places in ourselves. But like the heroes of countless stories we learn how to walk this path by travelling on it, and what we can gain in self realisation and self acceptance is worth the difficulties we may encounter.

For me counselling is about Life Supervision, something we all need at different times of our lives to work through the sticky bits of life. A counsellor is a guide, who enables you to find your own way home. To feel truly heard without adaptation by someone else’s own experience seems such a rare and extraordinary thing– it should be so simple but it happens rarely in day to day life with friends and family. For me as a counsellor it is about stepping aside from your own experiences and judgements to allow another’s words and feelings to be shared in all their entirety as if experiencing alongside them.

As a very experienced Counsellor (qualified 1998) and Physical Therapist (Pilates Instructor qualified 1984) I have an innate interest in and deep respect for people. My mission has been to support and work with my clients in assisting them in achieving their healing and wellness. Often it helps to be listened to and it is important to understand why things are the way they are. Perhaps you feel "stuck"and are at a loss to know how to deal with a difficult situation - or it may be that you are having difficulties in relationships with other people.

We don't lose ourselves all at once. We become who we need to be over time- to preserve relationships, belong or simply survive. Years later, we find ourselves anxious, disconnected, struggling with intimacy, repeating the same relationship patterns or no longer recognising ourselves. I believe these are intelligent adaptations, not personal flaws. Therapy isn't about becoming someone new. It's about understanding what you've had to leave behind- and creating relationships where you no longer have to abandon yourself.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
