About My Clients
We exist in relationship. I do not believe in isolated healing, as much as it has been popularized in the self-help movement. Successful, integrated humans have always talked, shared, laughed together, cried together, raged together, healed together. The therapeutic relationship is a space where you can begin to experience this, begin to heal the wounds that are holding you back, and begin to experience who you really are in the mirror of the empathic holding of another person.
My Background and Approach
Helping others is my primary purpose in life. I've been in the helping professions since 2005. I started with a small charity in England that assisted unpaid careers, and from there have worked with a vast array of different populations both in the UK and here in the US.In the third decade of the 21st century, we agree as a society to call my role in offering healing to our tribe, 'therapist.' Perhaps in other times what I offer would be labelled differently: shaman; alchemist; mystic; spiritual guide. In truth, I am all of those things. Whatever you choose to call it, something timeless and sacred happens when we sit together. Healing, freedom from the chains of pain, the highest aspiration possible in a human story.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am energized by being in genuine contact with the person whose presence I am in, and value authentic communication above all else. When we sit together in truth, something incredible happens in the space created. Previously unseen and disavowed parts can be embraced, nurtured and loved, perhaps for the first time. The true self begins to emerge.I don't know about you, but I don't personally know many people who dedicate their lives to helping others heal, who have not themselves at one time or another become highly acquainted with agony, misery and despair. Yes, I have sat in those places, wondering if I would ever get out. I have also felt the dull sting of mediocrity, knowing there is more possible in my life, but not knowing how to get there. I know the pain, and I know the way out. I can't carry you, but I can walk beside you, hand gently on your back, as we together find the way out for you.
