Psychotherapy and Counselling can create a safe and supportive opportunity to lean into whatever may be limiting your sense of freedom and vitality.

Many people who arrive at this page are dealing with thoughts, beliefs or actions that limit your capacity to enjoy life and pursue goals.

I bring to the therapeutic relationship, many years experience and training in a range of modalities; including Process work, Narrative and Somatic (Body-oriented) Therapy.

My work spans a very diverse band-width of modalities and services. I work to unfold this legacy of skills, insights and strategies in ways that nourish the whole body/mind/spirit continuum within the context of a client-centred approach to well-being.

Anxiety and Depression have never been more evident in the context of Psychotherapy & Counselling - particularly in these times of  complex financial and political uncertainty.

My work is trauma-informed, making space to support strategies which encourage the ability to down-regulate over-stimulated nervous systems. These can include breathwork, mindfulness and TRE exercise, which allow the body to release stored tension .

I provide a Sex-Positive space that includes the capacity to relate to issues associated with our sexual experience, including intimacy, self-pleasure, porn use and sex addiction.

Power exists in all relationship dynamics, including our internal dialogue. Process Oriented Psychology helps to bring awareness to these troubled waters - whether  related to issues associated with racism, sexism and homophobia or within the framework of personal relationship.

Men’s issues can be associated with  the roles and responsibilities that influence our concept of being a man, the notion of masculinity and the pervasive nature of patriarchy. Seeing our issues in the light of a broad worldview can be both relieving and enlightening, moving towards a shift in our habitual patterns of behaviour.

As a gay man I have found the expanding conversation around LGBTIQA+, gender identity and sexual orientation continue to grow as I welcome these client groups into my practice.

I remain committed to my own Personal Growth journey, which includes many spiritual, philosophical and psychological pathways, with an overarching sense of unity and connection to Source. My background is  Jewish, as well as being influenced by many Eastern philosophies, meditation techniques and mindfulness practices.

Intuition can inform elements of my work, though always in the context of what is helpful for the client.

While Psychedelic-assisted therapy remain illegal in this country, I am enthusiastically informed about these developments. Integration is a vital tool in the context of working with Psychedelics and I provide support for those who seek the benefit of integrating their experience.

ADHD Coaching is tailored to the specific needs of "faster-than-normal" brains, factoring in the inspiration of the big-picture visionary with the limitations of impulsivity, lack of focus and a call to goal-setting and reducing distraction.
