As a parent do you find your child’s behaviour challenging and unacceptable, but are unsure how to manage things?

Talk to me…

As a child, adolescent and family therapist I am ideally placed to be curious with you about your reactions and expectations.

From that space we look at tools and techniques to help you respond to your child and support the family in growth.

Lowenfeld realised that 'play' was the medium through which children worked out their emotional conflicts.

She recognised that is was a normal cognitive activity, a process which could be observed and studied provided there were the tools to understand the language of play.

I use art, music, sport and play in my sessions with children, they are particularly fond of sandtray therapy.

Don't forget though, adults can play too - it's joyful and healing!

Can you see me?

I’m delighted to have joined the team where I am supporting children, families and schools with therapy and workshops both in school and through outreach to homes in and around Kingston.

This book explores the meanings of Q***r and Trans People of Colour (QTPOC) activist groups in the UK, considering the tensions around inclusion and belonging across le***an, gay, bisexual, trans, and q***r (LGBTQ) and of colour communities and wider British society.

Davis draws de-/anti-/post-colonial, Black feminist, and q***r theory into critical psychology to publish the first book of its kind in the UK, developing an intersectional understanding of QTPOC subjectivities and identities.

The book examines questions of belonging; racial melancholia; decolonising gender and sexualities; and the joys, erotics, and the difficulties of building and finding QTPOC community that can hold and celebrate our intersectional richness.

Musings on grief from Facilitator training with .unmaskedman

A cup and a candle

I sat alone in grief last night
Embarrassed by my shame
The cup of life unwashed and light
Energised by a flame

A crack of light appeared to me
A warmth from deep inside
They called to let my tears run free
We honoured death with pride

The brotherhood around me grows
I know they’re always there
And when vulnerability shows
Strong men shout back – F**k Yeah!

I drew these tarot cards to show some guidance on my past, present and future whilst attending facilitator training with .unmaskedman last week.

Any ideas what they are telling me?

Two books for .0
Firstly, a look at Black Women, Trauma & Therapy where Helen P George brings together a narrative of Black women's mental health and wellbeing amid the ubiquity of racial and gender injustice, attacks and invisibility.
Second, a re-read of David Olusoga's Black and British which describes how the lives of black and white Britons have been entwined for centuries.

New profile picture for a new therapy directory launching in the coming weeks!

connects male therapists with male clients.

Currently, men make up around a quarter of therapists and less than a third of therapy clients globally.

I am looking forward to being part of the movement.

Is boarding school right for your child? Interesting question to reflect on if your children are settling into a new school at the moment, or you are considering it for next year, perhaps.

I enjoyed the discussion with Seen & Heard when contributing to this article. My conclusion was, how can you decide, if your child has never boarded and schools have changed since my boarding days? Consideration and communication are key.

In preparation for the start of my Facilitator journey with .unmaskedman next month I’m going back to one of my favourite books about being a man.

The authors present a Jungian introduction to the psychological foundations of a mature, authentic, and revitalised masculinity.

I am looking forward to leaning into my:

King
Warrior
Magician
Lover

Books and learning are only one aspect though. The Facilitator training brings these archetypes to life, embodying the learning, making it a lived experience which can then be used for internal alchemy as well the community around me.

Low cost counselling & psychotherapy

Garden of Eadon is the practice name for counselling and psychotherapy with Alexander Gray. As a psychotherapist-in-training, working towards UKCP accreditation, I can offer low cost counselling. I use an integrative approach to create a warm, safe place for exploration and expression. This allows me to fully witness my clients and work with what they present, rather than any judgements I or society might have. Underpinning my practice is the belief that we are made up of mind, body and soul. Our essential qualities can be covered over by the stress of life and our environment. Our work is to reveal the soul nature underneath and find ways to heal and nourish the true self. Specialist areas include focusing on su***de, divorce, death, bereavement, grief and loss. I am particularly interested in trauma work and how we can release it from our bodies. I am comfortable with what some clients can find embarrassing such as body issues, eating disorders and sexual fantasies. Garden of Eadon may be of particular interest to students, those new to therapy, ex-boarders or travel and tourism professionals struggling with the effects of COVID-19 on the industry.
