Counselling & Therapy
After some 30 years, I am in the process of winding up my practice seeing individuals and couples in south London by Easter 2024. This is due to the advancing years and a move to Devon later in 2024.
It has been many years of richly rewarding work, seeing people from all sorts of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and accompanying them for a while on their journeys through life. I feel immensely privileged to have been able to do this, and am grateful to all of them for their courage and willingness to explore the breadth and depths of the human psyche. They have taught me a lot about life, the universe and everything, and I feel more profoundly human as a result.
Courses in Focusing-oriented therapy
I have taught this approach on courses at Regents University for several years. Topics include:
- bodily felt experiencing
- the felt sense
- experiential listening
- the 'inner critic'
- guided Focusing journeys
- brief Focusing interventions
- embodied dialogue
- the felt sense of the therapeutic relationship
- working with dreams
- the body and 'the unconscious'
