Psychotherapy, Couple Counselling and Executive Coaching in Cambridge and Angel Islington, London.
Psychotherapeutic work is relational, it requires a genuine personal engagement. Whether I'm working with you as part of a couple for couple counselling, coaching you as leader, or working with you as your psychotherapist the challenge is always about having new conversations that break us out of ourselves, our stresses, our stories, our personal drama and fear.
Psychotherapy and counselling can then provide a new way of seeing how to relate to ourselves and others, to life and to the world. How we see things often blinds us from seeing what is there.
As a psychotherapist I see myself as a bridge; I help people come to terms with where they are, and if they wish I help them cross over to where they want, or need to be. I help people navigate what may well be, or at least seem to be, a chasm between where they currently are, and where they want to be.
The bridge does not need to travel or arrive anywhere, it is a means and a crossing; it is not an end.
