About my therapeutic work
I work as a therapist and mentor in private practice and for employee-assistance programmes. I work with men and women from a range of backgrounds, living through a variety of experiences, at different stages in their life cycles and at different points of transition.
The aim of this page is to give a flavour of the different themes that clients bring to therapy. It's impossible to give a real sense of what you might experience as a client in coming to therapy until you actually start the process, given your uniqueness as an individual and the way you in particular 'work'. Hopefully this gives a flavour of the sort of work I do, and have done, with clients.
The page detailing my approach to therapy gives you more information about what to expect in coming to see me. Or the page on Embodied-relational therapy will give you a sense of this way of working. You can also read more about the practicalities in coming to see me.
Befriending your body: Perhaps you're looking to develop a more positive relationship with your body and feeling more 'at home' in your own skin and a greater sense of living more authentically. Read more about working with embodiment or read an introduction to embodied-relational therapy and body psychotherapy.
Business or at work: You may be in the process of launching your own business, looking for support in lone working, working with your partner or family, facing conflict at work, finding new work purpose and direction. Visit the work based therapy page and the page about therapy for those of you running businesses for more information.
Crisis: You are perhaps in the midst of some sort of crisis, and need some time and space to process what's going on and how most usefully to face your current situation.
Depression: Perhaps you are managing living with ongoing depression, you've become depressed following a particular life event, or you're supporting someone who's depressed.
Life/work balance: You may be seeking greater balance in your life generally, deciding whether to or when to start a family, returning to work after having a family, looking for support if you're a workaholic wishing to or needing to change your patterns. You may be seeking support in making a life-changing decision.
Living with illness: You may be seeking counselling to support your work as a carer, or to help come to terms with a life changing chronic or terminal illness yourself. See the living with illness links page.
Loss and bereavement: Perhaps you have recently been bereaved or experienced another form of significant loss, such as a divorce or redundancy visit the grief/bereavement therapy page (or the bereavement links page) to find more detailed information about this.
Peace of mind: Maybe you're looking for a greater sense of peace, seeking spiritual depth and meaning in living your everyday life, calming yourself through meditation and reflection. Visit the spiritual therapy page for more information.
Personal development: Perhaps you are seeking to live more effectively and positively, building your confidence, developing your self esteem, strengthening your communication skills. You may be currently training as a counsellor/therapist and need the time and space to absorb and assimilate your learning and experiences.
Relational work: Perhaps you are looking to be in better dialogue with yourself, wish to relate more effectively with those around you, to heal difficult and abusive relationships - past and present, find your 'related' place in the human and other than human world, and/or looking to feel at peace with your past.
