About me

I am a therapist in Bucks. and for many years I have been working with people, from all walks of life, helping them find solutions to specific challenges in their personal and professional lives – Teaching them techniques that allow them to more fully understand how the unconscious mind works and to recognise where emotions come from and how to harness their power.

My strong background in Psychometrics (a field of study concerned with the theory and measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes and personality traits) has enabled me to add a valuable new dimension to their journey of change. By helping them to recognise and explore their beliefs (what they think they can and can’t do) and developing the natural characteristics they were born with that have unfortunately been suppressed and repressed over the years by the events of their lives.

For numerous years I have studied how our mind works, where our emotions come from, how anxiety / depression develop, and importantly, how we can take control of the voices that seem to race around in our heads (internal dialogue) and how we can begin to understand what it is we actually want from life.

With this new found self awareness it is far easier for my clients to respond effectively to the therapies I use, as they have a new frame of reference and the new found knowledge of how to manage emotions and how to interpret those internal voices.

I spent many years working in China and Japan, being exposed to these new cultures and religions certainly broadened my mind, as well as, honing my ability to focus on non-verbal communication (body language) and to go the extra step to understand people, to listen more, rather than just make assumptions and rush to conclusions.

Another facet that I focus on is the future – if you overcome whatever it is that is troubling you right now, what will you do differently in the future so this doesn’t happen again? Where appropriate I help my clients to set new goals and work with them to tease out what it is they really want from life.

My lifelong interest in the psyche of human interaction, understanding personality types and the discernment of how emotions are formed has helped me to develop a therapeutic working style that is empathetic and compassionate; however, I will push you towards your agreed outcome. Where possible I teach you many of these therapeutic interventions and it is important to me that we keep the sessions as light hearted as possible.

The human mind is truly astonishing and I am always amazed how readily the unconscious mind can find new ways to overcome old issues, especially when approached with the right philosophies and techniques. The techniques I use are very informal and non-intrusive where possible.

All I ask of you, is that you are 100% committed to making lasting change and have fully considered what making this change will do for you, now and in the future.

Finally, I understand that it can be a daunting experience to talk to someone else about your problems and issues, which is why I publish my commitments to you, and you are at liberty to hold me accountable. However, I expect commitment from you too, this is a dance not a wrestle – together we will make the right changes that are appropriate to you.
