I work relationally and creatively from within the humanistic school (Gestalt, Person-centred and existential models amongst others- for those interested in such things!). I increasingly offer my therapy outdoors, not only because of covid 19, but because of the huge impact the environment and our relationship to it has upon us, its importance in our wellbeing, and because of the ways it enhances the therapeutic work. My work is split between therapy, supervision (currently over zoom and outdoors) and training. The purpose of my work is to bring about change – which allows people to be inspired, to have access to their own potential, to be able to express themselves fully throughout their daily lives and to grow to respect and be in tune with their environment. As such it is part of a much wider, far reaching vision. As individuals we have much to learn about ourselves through therapy – finding and developing our strengths, overcoming our wounds and history and learning how to gain fulfilment in our lives. Any changes which occur in the therapy room can have a pleasing cathartic effect, with great short term benefits, but of themselves are not likely to be of lasting worth unless they take into account your context (world), and are taken forth into your relationships, communities, and immediate environment. Doing this enables us to see that the benefits of our changes have a far reaching and spreading influence beyond ourselves, confirming that we have tapped into something deep and significant.
