Current and Most Recent Work
I have a private counselling and psychotherapy practice in Cambridge and Central London (see below), I also lecture in Psychodynamic Counselling at Cambridge University and am one of the University's approved clinical supervisors.
My executive coaching, organisation development consultancy and supervision work is primarily within business, academia and religious organisations in Cambridge, Central London and Europe. (see below)
A colleague and I will be facilitating experiential groups in the desert oasis of Siwa in Egypt (for further info see below)
Since 02/2002 I've been an associate at The Grove Practice www.counselling.org (4 Wimpole Street, London W1 (formerly CAP Associates)) Between 2002-5 I was Principal Tutor of a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy training in Budapest.
Counselling and Psychotherapy
I see individuals and couples (opposite and same sex) with issues that involve;
* stress, anxiety, or depression
* lack of confidence
* loss of desire and sexual problems
* relationships, relating and intimacy
* anger management and self-harm
* psychosomatic illness; eczema, asthma, insomnia, etc
* bereavement and loss
* addictions; alcohol, drugs, sex and so on
* existential issues; identity, meaning, alienation
* spiritual crisis and issues around spirituality
* those seeking general personal and professional development
I am particularly interested in intimacy and relationships, psychosomatic illness, sexuality, existential meaning and spirituality. My counselling, couple counselling and psychotherapy practices are located both in the heart of Cambridge and in Central London.
Executive Coaching and Organisation Development Consultancy
As a profession executive coaching recognises the importance of sound psychotherapeutic insight;
"I believe that in an alarming number of situations, executive coaches who lack rigorous psychological training do more harm than good." (Berglas, S. (2002) The Very Real Dangers of Executive Coaching. Harvard Business Review, June: 87-92)
Having trained as a psychotherapist I can draw from a deeper understanding than the psychologically untrained coach.
Executive coaching is particularly useful for leaders wishing to further develop their existing leadership skills; and also in adjusting to promotion into higher levels of leadership. Executive coaching is also effective at improving working relationships, confidence, leadership and personal presentation style.
Although both my coaching and therapy practices are based in Cambridge and Central London, I travel further afield (including Europe) for executive coaching and organisation consultancy work. Please enquire for details, fees and so on.
Desert Safari
In October 2008 together with a colleague and friend, I will facilitate three different experiential groups (including a camel trek) into the desert in Siwa, Egypt. Siwa is one of the few last remaining unspoilt desert oasis and has a very long history as a place where people, including Alexander the Great, have gone in search of meaning, self understanding or direction in life. Participants will gain greater personal awareness through both group process - with the support of two skilled and experienced facilitators - and by the challenges offered by the sparse beauty of the exquisite desert oasis that is Siwa.
