​
I offer a safe way to explore these issues moving within a comfortable clinical environment to rediscover a sense of purpose and integrity.
My Approach:
In have had a long career as a practitioner, trainer and facilitator within the world of health and well-being, and what has sustained me is my belief in the integrity of the human experience and the innate resourcefulness of the human spirit. My training and therapeutic experience as patient or therapist tells me that we all contain the seeds of own recovery, growth, and ultimately sense of agency, purpose and joy. I believe that for any therapy to work in the long term it must involve some sense of an embodied process.
I believe that past experiences can affect both mind and body, and if these issues are unresolved can affect people in many different ways over their lives; the treatment for which is often outside the remit of conventional medicine, but an embodied approach can offer a useful way forward to address these issues creatively.
In my 40 years of experience as a therapist I have rarely seen any situation where there has not been a connection between mental and physical issues.
I started my career as a Psychologist and worked both in Industry and Academia, before becoming professionally interested in Community Health and Traditional and Complementary Medicine.
