I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion and simply need to talk. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and begin to understand where it began: Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is compassionate and kind. My purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find purpose, meaning and peace in your life.
My specialisms include addiction, anxiety, depression, couples therapy, self esteem, bereavement, identity and trauma. I work with all sexual orientations and ethnicities. I use contemporary counselling theory, but I’m also interested in less traditional viewpoints: I spent 7 years as a Buddhist monk, and this naturally has a bearing on my work.
It takes courage to start therapy. But please know this work is non-judgemental and your opinions are respected and validated throughout the process. Clarifying our true heart's wish and intention is not always easy, but it is there: often right in front of us and in the palm of our hand. Please feel free to email, call or text me to ask more questions.
