Psychotherapy and Couples Counselling
I work from the perspective that everyone has basic healthiness, a natural yearning for brilliant sanity and the wisdom of wholeness as part of their being. Conditioning and confusion can obscure these endowments but they are never absent. My job is to help draw out this wisdom for healing that is already there, by encouraging awareness. I begin with client-centered listening that honours where you are now, and the change you want. I then move into more experiential work to facilitate transformation. The contract for change and the pace of change is always in the client’s hands. Some of the modalities I practice include working with:
- Contemplative Psychotherapy
- Mindfulness Based Therapies
- Systems Family Therapy
- Transactional Analysis, Redecision and Ego State Therapy
- Cognitive Therapy
- Gestalt Therapy
- Meditation, Relaxation & Mind/Body approach
- Imago therapy for relationships

- Dreamwork
