We all need someone to talk to when life is difficult. Counselling and psychotherapy can help us understand more about who we are, to make better sense of past or current events, our feelings and how we respond to others. At times this may be painful, but it also supports an opportunity to have clear experiences of greater trust, choice and sense of all-rightness.I seek to provide a heartfelt and accompanied exploration of whatever issues you bring. I will seek to create a trusting alliance with you and compassionately join and hold  you in your exploration of yourself. We will work with feelings, emotions, thoughts and the felt senses towards generating a greater sense of understanding and wholeness. We will develop practical  tools which enable you to notice more clearly how you respond and react to life events. With this increased awareness and a greater appreciation of the many nuanced and sometimes contradictory layers of your past and present experiences you can build greater resilience and sense of confidence, health and belonging in everyday life.I have an MA in Core Process Psychotherapy. It is a relational talking therapy which draws from western psychological and neuro-scientific theory combined with mindfulness and other Buddhist teachings. Core Process works with body, mind and feelings. I have been working as a psychotherapist since 2012 with a wide range of clients and issues. Clients have come because they wanted more from life; felt inadequate or misunderstood; that they couldn’t cope, didn’t belong, were stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed; were facing  personal or work  difficulties;  or were suffering from shock, abuse, trauma, loss, or ill health.My life experience includes my own therapy, meditation, group work, fatherhood, health issues and, prior to my training as a therapist, a fulfilling and successful 30-year professional career in London. The later in particular can be called upon to support clients with work issues
