This is where I post ideas and articles relevant to my professional work as a counsellor, psychotherapist, coach, facilitator, teacher and consultant. I provide client-focused counselling with a psycho-spiritual orientation and work with a full range of client issues from those that constellate around crisis to those that represent the challenge of awakening – particularly since these experiences are often connected. A personal crisis may signal that you're 'standing at the threshold' between a habitual way of being and a new way forward. No life is free of suffering and seeking help often means transforming a painful issue into a new source of hope. I work with clients facing difficult life events that include: relationship issues, intimacy and sexuality, issues of gender and sexual identity, fatherhood, parenting in difficult circumstances, life transitions, dislocation and belonging. Often these prompt feelings of distress in the form of emotional pain, disappointment, guilt, shame, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, emotional numbness or lack of empathy. Conversely, clients may choose to work with me in order to explore personal development, leadership and self-assertiveness, creativity, decision-making and purpose. They come with the aim of discovering more joy and meaning in their lives.
