Garden of Eadon

Last weekend I was away on a men’s work retreat with .unmaskedman

Early mornings, out in the cold, standing together in silence and movement - qi gong as the sun comes up.

Not much is said in those moments, but something is being worked with.

Over the last few years I’ve found myself returning to a framework that sits quietly underneath a lot of this work: King, Warrior, Magician, Lover.

Not as abstract ideas, but as patterns you begin to recognise—in yourself and in other men.

• The King – responsibility and generativity
• The Warrior – discipline and direction
• The Magician – awareness and understanding
• The Lover – connection and feeling

When these energies come into balance, something shifts. When they don’t, you tend to feel it.

I’ve written a new article exploring this framework and why it still feels relevant today—both in therapy and in spaces like this.

Nice to get a mention in the Independent last week (only just noticed!).

You'll have to read it to find out what I had to say...

With the war in Iran escalating and vivid footage of bomb and drone attacks dominating the news, it’s no wonder children are asking questions about how safe they are. As many parents are also feeling anxious, Charlotte Cripps talks to the experts about how to reply

Loving these monthly oracle card check ins to keep me accountable. Certainly something coming up around anxiety and trust!

I’m excited to be launching the Twickenham Men’s Circle - a space for men in the area to come together in a therapeutic container.

Awareness | Acceptance | Action

Reading The Way of the Superior Man by .live has given me a lot to reflect on.

At its heart, it’s an invitation to:
• Live with purpose
• Stay present under pressure
• Ground your relationships in depth and honesty

That said — not every idea lands with everyone. For example, the notion that “women complain to test a man’s presence” can feel reductive. It risks framing emotional expression as something to be endured rather than understood.

What’s been more helpful for me is thinking in broader patterns — not fixed “male vs female roles,” but psychological energies we all carry.

I’m especially intrigued by ideas like Gareth Hill’s archetypal energies — static feminine, dynamic masculine, static masculine and dynamic feminine — as ways to understand the flow of inner experience and relationships.

And when I bring in the Elements Model — Air for clarity, Fire for vitality, Water for emotional flow, Earth for grounding — it gives me a richer map of how presence shows up in real life, not just in theory.

So here’s my takeaway:

Turn presence into practice.
Purpose isn’t a title — it’s how you show up.
Balance isn’t a label — it’s felt internally.

For anyone reading it — or wrestling with these themes — I’d love to hear what resonated (or didn’t).

Well, I’ve finally published a website! Link in bio!

www.gardenofeadontherapy.com

I’ve created a space to slow down, learn about what I do and who with.

I work with people of all ages and genders using a variety of modalities to meet each individual as they are.

I offer 1-2-1 support, groups, workshops and training.

You can find me in my clinic in Twickenham, online or through outreach.

I’d love your feedback on my website and anything you would like to know more about. Let’s talk.

February Oracle Card Update.

1st January I pulled ‘New Partner’. I kept open to someone new coming into my life and ended up being invited by to take part in a panel debate Twickenham on 29th March on fatherhood, men’s mental health and community building. Look out for booking details TBC!

1st February I pulled ‘Listen’. For me this is about turning down the noise and anxiety in my head and listening more to my heart and intuition. I look forward to seeing what that brings for the remainder of the month.

First challenge, listen to my web developer Emma and astrologer True Vision Astrology with Tanya Cohen to trust they my website launch on 5th February will go well!

As a transpersonal psychotherapist also training as a clinical sexologist I was fascinated to see this on the reading list!

Thomas investigates how the concept of soul is connected to B**M and kink, exploring the world of alternative sexualities and darker aspects of the sexual imagination through Jungian and Archetypal perspectives.

Here I am standing shoulder to shoulder with my brothers from .unmaskedman.

This picture speaks to me of trust - built and earned through vulnerability and courage.

As I start the new year with new clients, I am reminded that working through trauma requires an embodied approach, to feel the push and pull of difficult feelings which talking therapy alone cannot touch.

I am honoured by my clients when they open their souls to healing and we journey together.

Happy New Year!

Something a bit different here - using angel cards and intention to help me identify resolutions not just for January but each month of the year.

I got ‘New ‘Partner’ for January, suggesting I look out for people I feel familiar, comfortable and safe with so that we may enrich each other’s lives.

The idea here is to bring spiritual guidance into matter. Making the messages around me matter, taking accountability of myself and manifesting what is good for me, rather than hoping it will happen.

We may not use angel cards in therapy but I will help you build awareness of what is around you and more importantly inside you that can flourish through recognition.

Tune in on 1 February to see how this went through January and what I got for February!

Lowenfeld realised that 'play' was the medium through which children worked out their emotional conflicts.

She recognised that is was a normal cognitive activity, a process which could be observed and studied provided there were the tools to understand the language of play.

I use art, music, sport and play in my sessions with children, they are particularly fond of sandtray therapy.

Don't forget though, adults can play too - it's joyful and healing!
