I've been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2005, and have 30 years experience of consistently working through my own issues in a variety of settings, because it is my understanding that as a counsellor I can't go with clients where I haven't been myself. I consider this an essential part of what I can offer as a therapist. I can be a challenging integration therapist but offer a firm container for depth work. I work with individuals, couples and supervisees.
I originally trained psychodynamically before doing years of cathartic bodywork including breath work, somatic trauma training, meditation, shamanic practitioner training with Jez Hughes, EI (enlightenment intensives), Qigong, before starting my medicine training. I had a spontaneous awakening experience in 2013, before my medicine work, which took years to ground and is still being integrated into my broad life map.
I have extensive experience of group psychotherapeutic psycholytic psychedelic sessions, where I have processed deep developmental trauma and developed a daily practice of grounding traumatised ego states, via somatic awareness, relational systems and parts work, transpersonal explorations and ritual. I have worked therapeutically with MDMA, mushroom, mescaline, LSD, ayahuasca, sometimes in combination.
Currently my fee is on a sliding scale between £70 and £100 according to your resources. I work online from my new home in Lithuania having moved from Wales, and previously St Albans, to be with my new family. Although an accredited BACP member, BACP do not endorse this work, but I am closely involved with peer supervision and accountability.
