My aim is to provide a therapeutic experience that not only directly addresses the presenting issues but also nourishes the person's psychological, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical health and well-being. These aspects are interconnected, and so need to be cultivated for a person to make sustainable progress. In this way, the depth psychotherapy I provide is an experience through which a person develops self awareness, autonomy, a fulfilling level of social participation, and a meaningful relationship with life itself. It is about more than psychological health, it is health and well-being on every level.

 

My work is based on more than thirty-five years experience as a depth psychotherapist and nearly twenty years training and supervising psychotherapists in London. I provide the highest standards of attentiveness, care, respect, and compassion for the people who come to see me.

 

Life is difficult; to be presented with challenges is a natural part of life. I have helped people successfully address a range of issues, including depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, loneliness, family life, relationships, work life, bereavement and illness, and loss of meaning and purpose. Through the therapeutic relationship problems are addressed as they arise and, by learning as they go, people develop a more compassionate and creative relationship to their own inner world, to others, and to life itself. A person can deepen their understanding of their personal history and  win themselves back from restricting systems of thought and behaviour. And so, by becoming more themselves, a person is more able to live a happy, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
