My Approach to Therapy...
...combines my formal training, rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, with a down to earth relational sensitivity. Ultimately my aim is to help people heal from interpersonal wounds and the self imposed pain of fear, doubt, shame and despair. I engage in this process through one-to-one clinical work, outdoor therapy, and a variety of group-work, non-ordinary state integration and community building.
Openness, curiosity and an overarching faith in our ability to delve deep and gain awareness through this process are the attributes and energy I bring into the relational space, where a co-created working alliance, built on trust, can help you gain greater awareness of your inner world and integrate the life events that have shaped who you are.
Our main task together will be to develop a therapeutic relationship that acts as a container where you can safely explore the past in the present and the unconscious patterns that may have now become unhelpful to you on your journey through life.
I also provide in-depth preparation and integration support for people who are independently exploring psychedelics as a means for psychological and spiritual healing and growth. This is based on my own experience and relationship with entheogens, cultivated over two decades (note: I do not facilitate any therapeutic use of psychedelics).
I currently operate from a room in the Charing Cross area of the City and the Woodland of Pollok Country Park.
