About You

The phrase "Darling, I'm listening" comes from a practise that Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh uses. In it he conveys his true presence for the other person by starting with this phrase. He says that deep listening like this can help relieve the suffering of the other person and can bring about transformation and healing. 

I believe the alchemy of this relationship is the agent of change, so no matter who you are or what you bring to the room, I’m listening.

I often get asked who do or will I see in my practice. The answer is my door is open to anyone.

The list is not exhaustive, but I have, and do see people in erotically diverse relationships, those who have alternative lifestyles and people who have suffered deep trauma. I see people who want to explore how to be individuals in relationship and people who want to find their unique place in the world.

There is no age range of people welcome in my therapy room.

I meet you where you are at, in the present, not in some “fixed future”. I meet you, whether you want to speak or not. In our time together, I take the whole person into consideration – the heart, the mind and the body. My job is then to hold the space and to listen deeply, not just listen to reply.

Together we will look at what is driving behaviour rather than offer a strategy to act as a sticking plaster.

I use many different forms of therapy including sand tray, nature, creative writing, art, ritual and groupwork. You can write draw, paint and speak out your feelings. Whether they are feelings of grief, abandonment, depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, I will be at your side, in relationship with you, facilitating your journey.

I run small group workshops throughout the year, some open to everyone, some for a specific group such as: women and sexuality; or for men.

To find out more about the therapies I use, you can contact me for an initial exploratory call.

If you have a group who would like to attend a workshop covering a specific issue, please do get in touch and we can talk through the possibilities.
