You cannot fall out of the universe!
I take a keen interest in current affairs and accept that to be an individual in today's world necessarily involves acceptance of our connection with the cultural and political sphere. I work towards an anti-racist practice and acknowledge the priviledge which comes with my white-ness. I also accept that, each individual needs to take responsibility for their place in the world. I am interested in the space where philosophy (and mind) intersects with psychotherapy, without reducing, as regressive, the primacy and immediacy of affective experience.
I contributed a chapter in the book Transformation in Troubled Time: 'There's Madness in our Method'
“Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining.”

I work in Hampton Village which is in The London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames very close to Teddington, Twickenham, Sunbury, Kingston and Richmond. There are good public transport links here from London with a BR station 5mins from my door.
Individual counselling, psychotherapy and supervision fees are on a scale that means I can offer some concession rates alongside my usual rate of £80-£90 per 50mins session.
My fees are charged for all sessions other than pre-arranged holidays, or in the unusual event of my having to cancel a session.
Although, client cancelled sessions will incur a fee, I usually attempt to offer some flexibility with an alternative session time within the same week. When this isn't possible, the usual fee will apply.
Please leave a message and I will contact you as soon as possible.
