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 to become a better leader, or working with you as your psychotherapist, the challenge is always about having new conversations that break us out of ourselves, our stresses, narratives, heightened emotionality, personal drama and fear.
Psychotherapy and counselling 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 anything else.
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 navigate what may well be, or at least seem to be, a chasm between where they are, and where they want to be.
A bridge (and a psychotherapist) is a means and a crossing, it does not need to travel or arrive anywhere; it is not an end in itself.
