Welcome.
Whether you have come here seeking psychotherapy, supervision, or simply to think alongside another person, I am glad that our paths have crossed.
You stand now precisely where you are.
You have always been travelling to be here.
Everything you need next will be found from the paths you have walked, and between those who you have walked with.
We are all still with you.
Attend deeply to what is becoming possible as you take the next step.
The lives we live are invariably larger than the descriptions by which we presently know them.
Together we work to understand how your world has become organised, and then, to discover what other possibilities become available once familiar assumptions are re-examined with care.
We each practice from an ideas like what makes up a person, what constitutes their suffering, and how psychotherapy may ameliorate that suffering.
In supervision we work to render the assumptions inherent to those ideas overt and to subject them to useful critique.
This area is a place to think in public. Here I write about the questions that continue to shape my own practice.
I hold no final answers. I offer fully my curiosity and honesty that we might continue to talk about the things which matter.
