Advanced Practitioner of DBT / CBT / Mindfulness Master In the quiet corridors of your mind, where echoes of the past often whisper louder than the present, you've sought a sanctuary, a place where understanding and empathy illuminate the darker chapters of your story. It's here, in this space, that I, extend a guiding hand, a listening ear, and a compassionate heart to each of you who have navigated the turbulent waters of adverse childhood experiences, particularly those darkened by paternal shadows. For over 35 years, my journey as a consultant psychotherapist has been dedicated to the delicate art of healing, with a particular focus on those of us who have endured the complexities of childhood trauma. It's not just a profession but a calling, born out of a profound respect for the resilience of the human spirit and a commitment to fostering a path towards recovery and empowerment. As a musician and singer-songwriter, my understanding of the human condition is not solely academic. It is also deeply creative and intuitive, resonating with the unsung melodies of your innermost experiences. This artistic sensitivity enriches my approach, allowing me to connect on multiple levels, blending the therapeutic with the artistic, the scientific with the soulful. But this journey isn’t just about overcoming; it's about transforming. It's about finding your voice amidst the cacophony of past hurts and rediscovering your strength in vulnerability. It's about rewriting your narrative, not as a victim of circumstance but as a protagonist of your own life story. Here, on this page, we shall embark on a collective odyssey, exploring the depths of our beings, understanding our past, and charting a course towards a future where your authentic self is not just a distant dream but a living, breathing reality. Welcome to a space of healing, understanding, and empowerment. Welcome to a journey towards a life where your past does not dictate your future, but rather, informs a more profound, more resilient, and more authentic you.
