It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found
Winnicott
My approach
I offer a space where you can be deeply listened to and understood and where we can make sense of your experience together. I see psychotherapy as a process of being accompanied to feel into one's experience, to more fully inhabit oneself and then to make sense of this experience. For me this is a relational process exploring what arises in relation to each other and the idea of 'mutual recognition', Benjamin, 1990. When we can accept and understand what we feel, we can be more skilful in working with ourselves and others; for me this is a mind/body experience. I first trained in Gestalt and then Integrative Psychotherapy at bcpc and am also influenced my mindfulness/awareness meditation which I have been practicing studying and teaching for 30 years in the Shambhala Tradition,www.shambhala .org I work from home in a cabin in my garden, GL6 8LL.
I am a qualified supervisor and tutor on the MA in Integrative Psychotherapy course at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bcpc.
