Therapy has become very clinical in the pathological world we live in. I focus on ways to make ethical, values-based choices that help you build a life of purp & meaning. I use an Existentialist approach (Humanistic) and my methods generally follow Acceptance & Commitment Therapy guidelines. I have a unique perspective on many issues resulting from my experience in life with personal challenges: raised in poverty, suffering male-anorexia, failed early-life relationships and 20 yrs. as an entrepreneur. This lived experience helps me be an effective counsellor, mental health speaker and provide ethical services as a life-coach.

People come to therapy for different reasons. Many people come because of difficulties they are currently experiencing, which can include long periods of distressing feelings or thoughts, struggling to cope, relationship problems, and/ or difficulty dealing with a particularly distressing situation. Other people come to therapy simply to gain a better understanding of themselves and more fulfilment in their lives and relationships. Therapy is a unique experience and a relationship between you and a professional. It is very normal to not fully understand its nature at the outset.

It is normal and part of living to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained or stuck at times in our lives. What we do about it will keep us stuck or help us grow. Sometimes, this struggle is loud, like anxiety, stress or a tough life event. Other times it is quieter; a loss of motivation, a persistent sense of disconnection, or an inner voice questioning our worth. Therapy provides a safe space, in our often very busy lives, to explore what lies beneath. I offer counselling to clients of diverse backgrounds, from individual adults, couples. pre-marital couples to families; my goal is to help them lead richer and happier lives.

I enjoy working with people who are seeking discover how they can re-connect with their authentic selves more fully. We all have a similar journey in life – of recovery from our childhood experiences in a modern society that typically demands conformity and suppression of our full expression. And we now live in amazingly interesting and scary times – a time for living freely in a mad world of ever more explicit and manic control. I love to work with people who see this chance to live with more freedom and self-expression and be part of the emerging global revolution of shared consciousness.
