Approach:

Your life is a path, a journey, and it is rich with meaning and purpose, even if that is not immediately apparent. I have been a psychotherapist for almost thirty years, listening to people's stories, accompanying them on their paths; I trained and supervised psychotherapists for over fifteen years; and I continue my own journey of learning and developing and becoming - all of these experiences have shown me, repeatedly and consistently, that life presents us with precisely the challenges we need in order to learn, develop, grow, and move towards our original nature. Because of this, it is best to meet life's challenges with humility and receptivity, openness and truthfulness, love and acceptance. 

Life's challenges and difficulties are the hurdles on the journey of becoming oneself, of freeing oneself from social conditioning, and of re-connecting to the natural order and pattern of life. We can develop by facing what life presents us with, by recognising our problems as our responsibility, and seeing them for what they are: opportunities to learn and grow. If such challenges are faced  patiently, with a compassionate curiosity, there is no end to how far they can take us. 

Depth psychotherapy necessarily addresses social conditioning or programming. Often unconscious at the beginning of therapy, social conditioning undermines a person's relationship with their own nature and with life itself. As a person is gradually liberated from their conditioning, they begin to return to their original being, and thus to a loving, fulfilling, accepting, and meaningful relationship to life,
