A central driver in my life is a desire to help people live in more harmony with ourselves, others, and the world. I believe we can create a more just and caring society where people feel more unconditionally taken care of. I am passionate about supporting people in their journeys towards greater awareness, vitality, and alignment with their own values.
Wanna fly, you got to give up the shi**t that weighs you down.Toni Morrison
In my work as a therapist I use integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which I studied as a Diploma on top of my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I have benefited and continue to benefit from working with some great therapists myself, as I believe it is important for therapists to work actively on ourselves and keep that connection with what it is like to be a client in therapy.
I am a member of the Radical Therapist Network (RTN), a recently founded group of psychotherapists who meet regularly to incorporate intersectional and anti-oppressive learning into our practice. I believe this helps me become a more holistic, inclusive therapist, and better able to take responsibility for my own privilege as a white, middle-class, cis-male therapist.
