Creative CPD for therapists

Welcome

Hello and welcome

Whatever's brought you here, I wish you well in finding what you're looking for.

Healing possibilities

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we just get stuck. Do any of these apply to you?


Whatever's going on in your life and relationships, let's see if we can work together to create some positive change through:

‘The sense of lonely struggle
and imminent failure is replaced
with an experience of life as a
supported journey to mastery.’
Steve Biddulph

Based in a quiet location in Bitterne SO19, I see people from Southampton, Hampshire and other parts of the UK. There’s free parking near, and good train and bus services to, my practice. I also offer video and phone appointments, which provides flexibility if you're local and overcomes travel issues if you live further afield.


If you'd like a free, no obligation 20 minute conversation to find out more, I'm just a phone call or message away.

Finding a better way

The guiding therapeutic principles and practices below - mixed with an ongoing willingness to learn from, face and work through important experiences that life brings us - have helped me, and now my clients, to paddle our metaphorical canoes to better places of thinking, feeling, doing and relating. Maybe you'll benefit from this process too.


These self-help activities and healing reflections may also support your psychological travels.

Feedback examples from some counselling clients:

'You were flexible, understanding and patient.'

‘Really valued being able to explore and understand things more.’

‘The intensity of anger I was feeling has lessened significantly.’

'I can cope better even though life is still very stressful.'

'A valuable experience which was a great help to me.'
