Who Am I?

I am a therapist, I’m also a father, partner, artist, writer, musician, and carpenter.  

presence can not be a technique. It is a recognition of the mysterious, an interpenetration of our existence. It is the awareness that all categorising and labelling interferes with the genuine unfolding of what is most vulnerable, real, and essential in the human being.

When I’m in the room I realise that beneath everything, most people simply want to have a relationship with someone where they don’t have to be something other, in order to be accepted, where the mask can come off without feeling the crippling shame of judgement. There is a vulnerable space of connection and intimacy that sits in the silence between the questions. it transcends my understanding and allows for something magical to happen between and around us, and it is in that part of the relationship where healing happens, not in the understanding or psycopatholougising of what went wrong, but in the connection that conveys the message. You are of value and there is meaning in your pain.
