Welcome to my website – a little background!
My training in counselling and psychotherapy began many years ago (1994) eventually leading to a Masters in Jungian Psychotherapy, Analytical Psychology and Energy Healing with Middlesex University and a private practice in Surrey. Over the years I have undertaken extensive further training and professional development, most recently in the use of plant medicine (psychedelics, MDMA, psilocybin), to assist those whose therapy has failed to truly address the deeper layers of trauma held, frequently unconsciously, in the body.
As an individual who has travelled through the deepest levels of personal, ancestral and collective trauma in the last few years through psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and Holotropic Breathwork, I continue the journey towards personal wholeness and integration. Thus, I am able to offer an informed approach to working with clients undergoing clinical trials, private psychedelic therapy, or undergoing their own personal journey with plant medicine and/or breathwork. Please note that I am unable to offer illegal substances.
Over the last few years I have worked through over 60 years of deeply embedded trauma through working with plant medicine and Holotropic Breathwork bringing me towards wholeness and healing after a long ‘dark night of the soul’ and traumatic Kundalini awakening. This, after sixteen years of therapy including Jungian analysis which, at no time touched any of the deeper levels of trauma which needed to be addressed and ultimately worked through, in order to heal early psychological and emotional damage from birth. After forty years of alcohol dependency and addictions, I became sober some years ago through a journey with psychedelic medicine (psilocybin) and from having no life, no wish to live and no future, I am enjoying a new level of freedom, joy, inner peace and a very different life!
I offer an informed approach to working with trauma whether through psychotherapy (predominantly Jungian and Transpersonal), which may include extensive work with your dreams, experiences with medicine and/or breathwork, generally on a weekly basis for those who are prepared to commit to the difficult process of self-exploration. Not an easy journey and there is no ‘quick fix’!
