Pretty much everything as I go along my journey. Healing is really about learning and growth. I'm fascinated on how some people go through extraordinary experiences yet are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and go forward and blossom. Yet I have see others that let even small things rob themselves of true happiness and love all their lives. They just get stuck and can't seem to get out. I really enjoy rolling up my sleeves and helping them find a way out to a new enriched life.

My holistic approach is also heavily founded on the belief that you yourself hold all the answers to the information you seek. I am therefore deeply passionate about helping you learn how to calm your nervous system, quieten the noise in your mind, and reconnect to your inner wisdom - also referred to as your gut instinct or intuition. Reconnecting to this part of your inner self can make you feel empowered! From this place you can make heartfelt, informed & conscious choices that feel deeply right for you. Not because your head thinks you ‘should’ - but because you know deep in your heart that this is what YOU NEED TO DO on your unique journey

I am interested in working with people with some of the most comment presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties in relationships. I particularly enjoy working with men with anger issues or problems communicating with their partner's or family. The changes they can make is life changing and can lead to so many positive outcomes for themselves and their families.

I have a particular interest in Attachment Theory; how our attachment style plays out in our life; how it affects our relationships; our interaction with others; our ability to connect. I am also interested in how our attachment style affects our susceptibility to addiction, and the underlying causes and trauma that triggers addiction in the first place.

I am particularly interested in those times in a person's life when they reach a point when whatever has held that person together before, is no longer sufficient. This can happen in a myriad of circumstances: such as becoming depressed or a global sense of having lost one's way. Whatever the circumstances, the moment represents a window opening for change to occur and a deepening and enlivening of individual meaning to take place. Making meaning of life can be considered in relation to a particular event or more broadly as spirituality. By spirituality I mean the way someone finds connection with themselves, and that helps them navigate the mystery that is life. For some this may mean specifically a religious faith, although for most people it would mean one of many other less formal expressions. In summary, this transitional journey is a great interest in my work at whatever stage in life that it comes.

Gut health - it is intrinsically aligned with our overall wellbeing and in particular, mental health... For a healthy body, it does need to be holistic... a poor diet and counselling can only reach so far in the successful outcome... and indeed, a healthy body and poor state of mind will also fall short of the ultimate and optimum 'you'.

I am most interested in transformative turning points in our lives. It is intriguing to examine both how we influence power over our lives and also how the events in our lives change who we are. Births, deaths, starting and ending relationships - these all influence who we become. I have also conducted research on how traumatic experiences influences our spiritual and existential beliefs

I find working with people through their response and coping mechanisms in life transition and change truly interesting. Whether the process relates to love, loss, separation, anger, career change, depression or anxiety, the effect transition and change has on a person's ability to adapt, cope and grow is powerful and inspiring. I take real satisfaction each day in working with people through this process and helping them navigate their way.

I think embodiment of our emotional being is essential, to undermine the survival strategies of the psyche, that can have debilitating effects on our health and relationships. Learning to tolerate tensions and conflicts within our psychic life, as embodied, felt experience, paradoxically offers a pathway to the sublime. This is key to freeing the psyche from anxiety. I would consider the awakening of consciousness to be central to health and wellbeing. Such self knowledge also brings us closer to understanding how we are creating our lives and what we could do differently.

Normalising our emotions. We have many emotions but we are often afraid to express our feelings as they may be categorised as not been normal or having a problem. Feeling sad, mad and anxious are only a few of the emotions we express yet are often diagnosed as mental health disorders instead of just normal responses to situations.

I am particularly interested in the transformative power of change especially that which is unwanted or annoying! Alongside this I am especially moved by clients' capacity and courage to move with and into this change as a way of finding peace, hope and ultimately joy. What I'm talking about here is the building back of resilience and when this settles in it has a profoundly positive impact on body, mind and spirit.

I am most fascinated by the impact of emotional expression on our physical, cognitive, social and emotional health. When we live in a culture that is based on fear or a culture where we are encouraged to bury our emotions by escaping, pleasing or acting out, our ability to express our needs diminishes. Music and creativity help us to connect with, express and release our emotions - and through music therapy, I believe it can be shared and contained within the therapeutic relationship and space.

Gestalt Psychotherapy is all about how we do relationship with ourselves and others. So I would have to say I am interested in relationships. How one thing relates to something else. We are all interconnected and thus influence each other in ways that we may not be aware of at first. I am curious about attachment theory and how the patterns we create in childhood to fit in or not fit in affect our lives. What relationship patterns are we hanging onto from our childhood that are no longer serving us now? How do we feel about ourselves? I feel everything stems from what sought of relationship we have with ourselves and others. How well we do relationship affects all parts of our lives. Family, marriage, work, with self etc.

I have a special interest in supporting people through life transitions, and when they hear The call. The call comes when we are breaking or are ready to break. I believe many of us come to this moment. A point in our lives where we start to question how we are living our life and if it's in alignment with our values and what we want to be doing. Sometimes it is a relationship that ends, we lose our job, a child becomes ill, a loved one dies or we have a dream that won't seem to let go. These are the pivotal and life-changing moments where we are called to assess where we are, what's important and what changes need to be made. We begin to question our place in the world and how we are living. We ask ourselves if we are living authentically and if we remember what authentic is for us. We want to find answers to who am I? and What do I want from my life? We feel deeply that there is something we are missing, a knowing that something is not quite right or that there is something else we should be doing. This is the call. The call to wake up, to begin to peel off our masks, our layers of conditioning. This is the call To discover who we really are, who we are meant to be and what our work is in the world.

I think it's important to take a biopsychosocial approach to clients' lives when looking at overall health and wellbeing. Wellbeing and mental health is optimised when physical health (genetic factors, diet, exercise, sleep), psychological aspects (thoughts, feelings, behaviours) and social factors (social supports, networks, relationships) are approached in a holistic way.
