Trauma is traumatic because we experienced it alone
I offer a space where you can be deeply listened to and understood. Difficult experiences are often traumatic or wounding because we had to experience them alone. I attempt to accompany you in the painful places on your journey. Central to my approach is to help you appreciate and accept who you are, to reduce internal conflict and make life more workable and joyful.
My approachI 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 20 years in the Shambhala Tradition. I work from home in a cabin next to my house GL6 8LL.
