Embodied work pays attention to the dynamic correlations between mind, body, heart and spirit and is founded in compassionate processing.

My approach sees these elements as mutually important and interlinked. It can show itself in the:

• exploration and discovery by individuals;
• levels of goodwill & cooperation brought by a couple;
• working with complexity & reciprocity in groups;
• re-visioning & actions in organisations.

With more than twenty years experience as a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer and consultant; I also offer coaching, mentoring and mediation experience and expertise. I teach in the UK and abroad.

I believe that embodied work takes place in contexts of culture, heritage and society and that therapist and client assumptions about similarities and differences require exploration within an holistic framework.

My experiential learning through work includes:

Working across all sectors 3rd, public, statutory and private. 

Leading a consultancy that specialises in team and organisational development, recent clients include a multinatonal EAP, the LFB and a national mental health charity.

My professional development covers areas as diverse as post traumatic stress, integrative and creative arts approaches to management and leadership, integrative and gestalt group work, and shamanic and transpersonal approaches to practice.

My approach aims to be integral, relational and intercultural with attention to holistic embodied awareness and development.

Individuals, couples, groups and corporate clients are encouraged and supported to engage in embodied, relational dialogue that draws on body psychotherapy approaches, gestalt based theory and practice and transpersonal traditions as appropriate for the client.

My professional codes of ethics are those of  CABP and the UKCP.
