Welcome!
I came to Psychotherapy as a result of my own life journey and my longing to become the person I was truly meant to be . Each and every one of us deserves to embrace our own unique self as we always in our hearts know our worthiness for love , we always know the rightness and integrity of our own unique presence . The secret now is finding the safety to operate openly and freely from our real authentic self . This is something we can not always do on our own ; we all need to have someone in our lives – partner , parents , friend , therapist – who is mature enough to accompany us as we make what is often the long journey home .
I was fortunate to have two such friends and mentors whose clinical work and writings I draw on heavily to inform my practice and indeed the way I live my life . Dr Helen Ruddle and Dr Tony Humphreys have taught me that with loving holding from ourselves and others we can begin to move from isolation to belonging , from shame to celebration , from loneliness to intimacy , from presence to realness , from being hidden to being out in the light.....
