"Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others."

Individuals
You may have arrived here because you feel stuck or flat or numb.
Or wrung out.
No time for you.
Always there to help others, and sometimes taking on too much and not knowing how to say no.
Boundaries are difficult.
Not knowing where your partner (or friend or mother or boss) ends and where you begin.
Which are their likes, dislikes, and opinions? And which are yours?
Couples
It's not uncommon for couples to a hit a crisis in their relationship - whether things come to a head through an affair, or the stresses of bringing up children, looking after elderly relatives, or you've simply grown apart and find it hard to communicate.
I can hold space and we can explore together what's gone wrong, what needs healed and what active steps can be taken to improve the relationship.

I know that I’m not a fixer – I can’t fix other people. But I absolutely believe people don’t need fixing.
In my experience, we generally need a bit of time and space to air our feelings, our stuckness, our chaotic inner experiences with all their pain and uncertainty.
I can sit with that uncertainty and pain, and explore it with you very gently. Because I firmly believe that the answers lie where the pain is.
I can do this partly because of my training and experience, but in large part because I’ve been there.
