My approach is relational, balanced and inclusive; it combines both traditional western depth-psychotherapy and eastern philosophy, body and mind recognition and connection, support for where clients are and challenging clients to move towards further growth and understanding.I work with people who struggle to find meaning, and consequently find it difficult to have what they want from their lives. They tend to experience depression, anxiety, extreme anger, addiction, and fear, particularly in their relationships and in their livelihoods.I help my clients to find meaning by engaging with their unconscious, and developing their self-awareness. I have found that developing a relationship with oneself, particularly the richness of one's unconscious, provides that much desired meaning and direction. Show less
