I offer a number of
Services

Relationships are at the core of being human

I have extensive experience in working with couples. Relationships are at the core of being human, and we all struggle with relationships in some way. Working with couples I am interested in how to enable a couple to enhance a meaningful, shared life with one another.

I am especially influenced by the emotionally-focused couples therapy approach, which aims to facilitate a positive attachment between partners in a couples relationship.

Wellbeing, depression and anxiety

Depression and anxiety are amongst the most common emotional challenges of people. I am interested both in helping people to manage depression/anxiety, but more importantly to increase their overall sense of wellbeing in life.

Psychology and Spirituality

I am also deeply interested in spirituality and its link with mental health and well being (e.g. through the practice of mindfulness). Whether seen in religious or other terms, we have to make meaning of our lives and the varied experiences of our lives.

These issues of spirituality influence our mental health and well-being. I regularly run retreats at the interface of psychology and spirituality, with particular focus on mindfulness.

Being men in the contemporary world

I have been extensively involved in researching issues of masculinity and its problems and am interested in how men deal with life challenges.

I am especially interested in how men find the courage to leave the well-worn track and the familiar formula of life, and attempt to create alternate and more meaningful ways of being men in the contemporary world.

Work Shops and Retreats

I regularly run workshops and retreats on themes such as couples counselling, dreams and dreaming, masculinity, mindfulness and living mindfully, the Progoff journal method, and searching for God and the true self.
