Sometimes the road we find ourselves on leads us into difficult, challenging territory and we lose our sense of direction and wonder if we'll make it through. Counselling sessions offer companionship and confidential help along your way. They offer support through difficult times and help you search for new and creative ways of moving on again. Your counsellor is your ally and is there to accompany you on your (not their) journey.
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and a trained supervisor. I work in Maidstone and West Malling, where I offer both short and long-term support to individuals and couples. My approach is eclectic. My core training was in Psychosynthesis, but I draw from person-centred, mindfulness, humanistic and spiritual/transpersonal approaches according to my client's situation and needs.
If you would like to speak in confidence, please get in touch - I would be happy to arrange a short, cost-free meeting.

Services
I live in Maidstone with my wife.
We have a son and daughter, now in their 20's, who are settling into their own lives.
Most of my days centre around my therapeutic work.
When there is a window of opportunity I tend to turn to music, which has played a a significant role in my entire life.
I also love being out of town and out of doors.
I was born in Indianapolis, but largely grew up 2000 miles south in San Antonio, Texas.
For a few years I lived in Montana, where I taught Philosophy and Humanities at the University of Montana and became acquainted with a few of the Rocky Mountains.

Counselling provides you with an ally as you move along your life's path.
It gives you a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore what is going on in your life -where you can say the unsay-able and think the unthinkable.
There you can work through confusions and weigh difficult decisions.
There you can explore discomfort and suffering for seeds out of which a happier life can grow.
There you can come to terms with past and present trauma and loss.
There you can find your way through inner obstacles such as stress, anxiety and depression, and through low self-esteem, guilt, or persistent outbursts of anger and frustration.

That whatever issues you bring, you also bring the potential for working through those issues successfully.
That the better your life expresses you, the happier and more rewarding it will be for you.
That you carry in you a natural impulse to evolve and grow - both inwardly and in your external life.
I chose to train in Psychosynthesis because of its profound, undogmatic approach to transforming daily life, and because of how it unites imagination with common-sense.
For many years I was a member of the therapist team of the Blackthorn Trust, a RudolfSteiner-inspired medical trust associated with an NHS practice in Maidstone.

Buridan's Ass and Wilbur In one of his numerous books, Irving Yalom tells the old tale of 'Buridan's Ass'.
This poor undecided creature starved to death when it found itself equidistant between two equally tempting and delicious bales of hay.
It could choose which to taste first and that freedom was.
For productive, rewarding (challenging) conversations, try observing this little rule.
Warning: It only sounds simple!
Each party to the conversation holds themselves and the other(s) to be 100% responsible for what they do and for what they feel.
