My training is Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy, UKCP register, BACP registered and accredited. I am interested in soulful embodiment and radical responsibility.

Soul is a transpersonal understanding of the field dynamics of consciousness, this theoretical frame asks that I trust that all events and experiences can be meaningful and opportunities for meaning making. In particular soul is found in what limits, slows, frustrates, obstructs and is unwanted. If we can take our time these experiences are an invitation into deeper relating, understanding and compassion.

Often this calls for more embodiment, trusting our instinctive, or gut knowing, and bearing mindfully with our direct experience. This requires us to describe phenomena without reaching for premature explanations, and staying with what-is becomes the creative ground for meaning making.

I am interested in archetypal psychotherapy and by radically staying with the sense within each character in a story (personal/historical/mythic). By deeply inhabiting each character within their own realm we are naturally confronted with a radical responsibility for intentions, actions and consequences.

I see therapeutic relating as intersubjective, and honest heartfelt relating as the ground of significant creative healing.

I understand difference and diversity through a the frame of intersectionality, and the systemic nature of prejudice and unconscious bias. I am particularly interested in gender, sexuality and relationship diversity; queer spirituality; and supporting the anti-racism movement through white affinity groups.
