In this collective dream & nightmare of ours, it is important to hold on to the individual meaning it has for everyone individually... that way lies sanity. Community will then arise out of allowing for difference.

I offer individual as well as group and couple/relationship sessions in both English and German.

In my work I integrate 30 years of experience of working in the field. My understanding of the spiritual context of what it means to be human is backed up by my knowledge of a great diversity of traditional therapeutic tools.

Following on from my working experience over the recent pandemic years, I have decided to provide an almost exclusively online based service, which is delivered and experienced very much 'face-to-face' and 'in person'. 

Online psychotherapy differs from in-the-room psychotherapy, as the 'facing-your-therapist-in-the-room experience' differs from 'lying-on-the-couch-in-the-room experience'. It is different. Not better. Not worse. Just different.

I am available on Friday afternoons for in-the-room sessions at Number 42, London Bridge. Outdoor therapy sessions can also be arranged.

 

ONLINE GROUP WORK

Group therapy offers the space to explore how you function in the world: it aims to provide you with a  safe enough context where you will be able to experiment with new ways of communicating.

In order to bear the group experience, you will need to have been nourished enough on an individual level - and it may therefore be indicated to attend individual sessions either with myself or with a colleague alongside the group experience.

I currently offer four group experiences, all of which are designed to be long term and 'slow open', which means that new members will join with a minimum of 4 weeks' notification to the group. During this time, the new member will have individual meetings with me to prepare them for their entry into the group. Maximum membership in each group is 8 participants.

All the groups have a minimum commitment of one year. The charge is on a sliding scale of a weekly, year round, standing order of between £15 and £40, depending on your income. Special rates are available for individual/group session packages.
