I  bring to these sessions over ten years of experience working as a GP with a counselling focus, including seven years working with cutting-edge trauma therapies and more recently cognitive therapy - weaving together a way of addressing the causes of emotional suffering at the level of body and mind. On a personal level, I bring a deep love for the 'Inner Journey' and 'Inner Work', being inspired chiefly by the Tibetan Buddhist meditation tradition.

​

Each session will be guided by a brief assessment and open discussion as to how I can best be of service.  The main modalities I work with include:

​

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TEAM-CBT)

• Comprehensive Resourcing Model (CRM)  - my preferred modality for trauma clearing work

​

Less often, depending on your background, we may incorporate tools from other systems such as:

​

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR)

• Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

​

These sessions may be suitable if:

​

• You struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, addictions or relationship problems, and are willing to learn how to become your 'own healer'

• You struggle with a physical health condition and you wish to explore if your symptoms have an emotional component or are looking for healing on a deeper cognitive, emotional or spiritual level

• You are seeking guidance to cope more effectively with the daily challenges of work, health and relationships

• You are completely new to any type of therapy or trauma healing

• You are seeking help to move past major life challenges or trauma - including generational and collective trauma

• You are open to working on your Life Traumas in a spiritual context

​

Sessions are either 1 or 1 1/2 hours long, and may include access to a self-paced online trauma course or other online resources to facilitate deeper understanding of the theory and skills covered during the sessions.

SESSION DETAILS

​

We shall begin with a dialogue around your current life circumstances and challenges, and explore how I may be able to help you using the approaches outlined above. This will include a clear outline of out-of-session home practice tasks and monitoring of progress which will be an integral part of session flow. We may also delve into lifestyle, nutritional or environmental factors, as well as supplement or medication options if these are relevant.
