Making the most of ourselves and our lives by doing the best we can, is a very basic motivational instinct that we all recognise within us. Each one of us has the potential to take charge of and influence our own life. Most of the time we seem to do 'just fine' but occasionally we experience ourselves or our lives as 'out of sorts' for a wide variety of reasons.
Our natural instinctive reaction is to try to understand 'why' things have gone wrong and 'what' we can do to make things better again. Often the harder we try the worse things can seem to become. Unfortunately knowledge, information and insight, of themselves, are not sufficient to bring about the change in our internal personal experience of ourselves and our external perception and judgements about our situation/circumstances.

I have extensive experience of working with individuals, couples, families, and groups on a wide range of issues connected to the development of healthy and satisfying personal and interpersonal relationships. I also provide individual and group clinical supervision for practicing counsellors and psychotherapists.

Sexuality (basic, intermediate and advanced) and childhood sexual abuse (occurrence and prevention).
William James, a famous philosopher once said that there are the "once born and the twice born". The once born are very nice people. It is the twice born who really understand something and who reconstruct themselves from the ground up at some major point in their lives. To use ourselves differently is the key to our 'salvation' - never mind changing the other person - others are directly affected by how we use ourselves!
Supervision is often offered by psychotherapists who have many years' experience both in their own practice and in supervising others in their field of interest and expertise. I offer individual, shared (peer), group and organisational supervision for those who are currently in professional practice as Counsellors or Psychotherapists' and those that work with couples and families.
In addition to my psychotherapy practice I continue to design and run numerous workshops and seminars on topics listed below through my business consultancy practice for people who work in private, public and not for profit organisations. My programmes have grown organically and draw extensively from humanistic, existential and formative psychology.
