The Deepest and Simplest Counselling in the Shire

~ The Self, a feeling a thought and an act... ~

If you can entertain the notion that the natural state of a human being is happiness and well-being, then perhaps you can appreciate that counselling, at its essence, is not so much
about helping you to construct a new and better "you", but is concerned with
helping you learn to let go of the feelings and thinking, the patterns and
habits which are disturbing your natural integrity, and with showing
you the way back to naturally relating to your self again.

At one level or another the troubles we have in life
are nearly always sourced back to a troubled relationship with
our own self. Our self-sense is the core template that determines our
future life experience. Whatever issues you may seem to have with others
in your life, the cause of them is almost always traced back to your
relationship to your self. Cure the Core and you secure your future!

Your parents or society may have had a big hand in shaping that self, but your self was actually created by you, and is currently maintained by you. Therefore you have the power
in your own person to change your life in profound ways.

The tools and theory I have created and assimilated into my practice are focused on this level of problem solving. They are derived in part from the conventional skills and protocols
of my formal training, augmented with cutting edge psychological tools. These
tools have been refined and deepened with the insight and experience gained
from my own explorations of the depth and dynamics of my own self.

This therapeutic approach is an elegant, direct, gentle, and effective process designed to help you to begin to reclaim more of your native integrity and happiness. My approach deals
not only with your thinking mind and your emotional heart, but also the energetic
patterns of your life. I use ordinary narrative dialog coupled with practical internal
exercises to give you a opportunity to practice right-relating to self,
rather than just talking about it or merely getting cathartic.

I am happy to tell you that this process of self mastery is not a grueling task, immersed in
dark dramas of the past, or an endless assimilation of new and better insights,
nor a rigorous application to undoable tasks. Indeed it is often a rather
heartening and joyful process.

I'm so pleased with the success which
my clients have achieved that and I am happy
to offer you a free introductory meeting, in order to help
you to decide whether you wish to work on these issues together,
and then proceed to a working session, if and when you wish.

Here are a some comments from clients who have offered their appreciation for the assistance they have received:

All I can say is that I had a sense of deep understanding on your part during the sessions, and that afterwards, I would be leaving with this very fresh and new look on my life. Thank you!
