My interest in Counselling and Psychotherapy spans 35 years experience of working with people in a wide variety of different settings. Throughout these years, my passion and motivation has been to support people to build and sustain satisfying, healthy and effective relationships with themselves and others and achieve their desire to live rewarding and fulfilling lives.
The foundation of my work is in humanistic and formative psychology. I have extensive experience of a variety of humanistic psycho-educational diagnostic models and experiential techniques from both traditional and modern psychotherapeutic disciplines. My approach is therefore essentially integrative. More recently I have become interested in the integrative approaches offered by neuroscience that view the body and mind as a complex inter relational dynamic and seeks to maximise the influence that muscular memory and effort has over cortical experience. Formative Psychology can be a useful approach/methodology to intervene in this relationship in order to influence and regulate patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour that are not appropriate for the particular set of circumstances prevailing at the time.
