About me

I am a man, in my fifties, with a rich and varied life-experience.

I am a fully-trained Integrative Counsellor,holding a Diploma In Counselling from the Minster Centre for Psychotherapy.

I am busy in my General Practice and have a special interest in working with people from the Arts. I feel passionate in my commitment to my work as a counsellor.

I base my practice on the Creative Process, which I believe is fundamental to every aspect of a happy life. When we feel 'stuck' in their lives, I believe therapy can create an opportunity to help us reconnect with our inner creativity and the fullness of our imagination.

My background is in the Performing and Compositional Arts, at which I worked at an International level for many years. As well as running my practice, as a therapist, I am still an active and highly enthusiastic cross-platform artist.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a Diploma in Counselling from the Minster Centre, in North-West London. My basic training and qualification lasted for five years, but I continue to develop my ideas in Professional Development Courses and Seminars.

I am a registered member of the BACP, which is the governing body in the UK for counsellors and psychotherapists. I wholly abide by their Code Of Ethics.

In keeping with BACP Recommendations, I maintain a relationship with a highly qualified Professional Private Supervisor.

I hold a first Batchelor's Degree (B.Mus.) in Music and Drama (1986). Since then, I have gained over thirty years of experience in the performing of and the business of the Arts.

As I have reached my middle years, I have also lived a life (or two) !

Perhaps my Life-Experience is my most potent and important qualification ...
