I am a counsellor who places the will and the spirit of my clients at the heart of my practice. My goal is to help you empower yourself so that you can get the most out of your life. I imagine you’re looking for therapy because you're in a difficult place at the moment. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, and you don’t feel able to move forward with your life without some help. Perhaps you are stuck in

depression or anxiety, or are having trouble with the relationships in your life. Together we can bring you a clearer perspective on your situation, and work out why you are where you are today. We can help you get in touch with what you want in your life, so you can see how to move forward into a new chapter. I have 10 years experience working in mental health, with young people and adults with a wide range of complex needs. I have also worked as a professional musician throughout my adult life, so I also bring my own exploration of the creative journey to my work as a counsellor.

Why do you think therapy is effective?

As I understand it, therapy happens on two levels: content and process.

The content includes everything we talk about in the sessions, like everything that has happened to you, how you feel about it, how patterns from your childhood are playing out in your life today, etc. Everything we can hold together consciously. This is the basis on which we relate to eachother.

If the way we move ahead with the content works well, and the relationship continues to build, then this engenders the process. This is something which happens in parallel, but on a deeper, more unconscious level, and over a longer period of time. It's about the feeling of relating to someone, as feelings of care, respect, commitment, responsibility, and trust develop (to borrow from bell hooks). Over time these feelings, and this sense of "being seen" in a greater degree of completeness can have an integrating effect on our psyche, as we learn to love and respect parts of ourselves which had been banished before. This can have profoundly positive effects on our lives. I heard it described as "two nervous systems learning to relax in a room together."

What I love about the process, is that there is something magical about it. It is like I am working together with some kind of powerful, unseen benevolent force! Accompanying the client on that journey, and helping to facilitate and hold them in that process is a tremendous privilege indeed.

This wonderful (albeit gendered) poem by William Blake shows us how holding on to something as precious and delicate as joy can kill. It's as though it were a little damsel fly and we were crushing it with our hands in an attempt to keep it forever. But if we can "kiss the joy as it flies" and enjoy it briefly while it is there of it's own choice, allowing it to move freely, then we can live in "Eternity's sunrise". The last two words of the poem are as powerful as they are enigmatic. Blake suggests that if we let our love be free, then we will live in a never-ending sunrise. As a Christian Mystic I believe Blake would have been alluding to a union with God consciousness. So it seems to me that he is saying that to love freely and openly, and be truly prepared to let our love go at any moment, even through death itself - this is the highest of all states of consciousness.
