About Me

I facilitate a psycho-analytically informed exploration of the issues that you bring to each session. This collaborative rapport yields an informed emotional intelligence which generates fresh perspectives on the tribulations you are enduring and the choices you have made and will make.
This process of enabling not only enhances the quality of your interior life but has the potential to transform your personal and social relationships be they at home, in education, at work or in society. It also equips you to better guide and care for those whom you love or for whom you are responsible.
The issues that you bring can be absolutely anything and always in absolute confidence. As well as my professional experience and academic qualifications I want to emphasise that I am not an ivory tower academic or not only so. I bring to my side of the table, personal real life experiences of the good times and the hard times, with love and happiness, but also with the ordinary need to face the reality of difficulty, distress, even crisis, in the lives of myself, family, very close friends and of course innumerable clients. You will know I understand because I have probably been there already or very close by.
.
Fortunately life's Pandora's box of grief and pain need not permanently overwhelm one. Even in the moment of deepest distress the fact that one cannot recall happiness does not mean that it is not there smiling, waiting patiently to be revisited just as the rose is always beautiful even though the eyes be blinded by tears.
We will begin with questions you wish to ask of me, then your narrative of the issues you wish to raise. We will try to clearly formulate your priorities and the outcome you hope for then help you implement strategies for getting there. It will be your time and your action plan carried out by you. I will have recourse to a tool box of approaches and insights informed by psycho-analysis, current behavioural psychological, brain and genetic research and implemented often by techniques from cognitive analysis. I may even ask for time out whilst I research the latest understanding of your special issue. I began with collaborative rapport and end by emphasising it. It is our collaboration that enables you but it is you that takes responsibility for achieving your goals and being able to proclaim, 'Happiness lives Here!' .
