The Work

A highly personal approach, shaped around you

understanding

There is often more beneath the surface than the obvious problem

I take time to understand the wider picture, rather than looking at one difficulty in isolation. How you respond to pressure, what happens in relationships or particular situations, and the thoughts, behaviours or emotional responses that keep recurring.

Throughout our lives, we develop familiar ways of responding to our experiences. Some serve us well. Others can carry into different parts of life, even when the circumstances are quite different. The connection isn't always obvious when you're living through it.

Part of my work is recognising those patterns, understanding what may sit behind them and helping you develop different ways of responding.

Often, the individual problems are easier to see than the pattern connecting them

Although my work no longer involves physical treatment, some clients have also reported improvements in longstanding physical pain alongside the wider changes they have experienced.

I work primarily in person, across Somerset, London and Bath. Other arrangements can be discussed depending on your circumstances.

A personal way of working

I work privately with a small number of clients, giving each person the time, attention and discretion their circumstances require.

My approach is calm and considered. I listen carefully, ask questions and follow what emerges, rather than working through a predetermined programme.

Where appropriate, we work away from your usual surroundings, often outside or while walking together. This gives us time away from everyday demands to focus on what matters.

I work with clients over an agreed period, rather than through isolated appointments. This allows us to give the work the time and continuity it needs.

What to expect

The process is straightforward, with each stage shaped around your circumstances and agreed together before proceeding.

01

Start here

An initial conversation about what is happening, what you have already tried and what you would like to be different. There is no cost for this conversation.

02

Understanding what you need

Where appropriate, we begin with a few hours together, often away from your usual surroundings. This allows us to explore your situation in greater depth and give you an experience of how I work.

From approximately £1,200, agreed in advance.

03

Working together

I may then recommend a longer period of private client work, depending on your circumstances and what we feel would be most valuable.

For some clients, a specific single piece of work may be appropriate, starting from £3,000. Longer-term private client work typically starts from £25,000. The scope and fees are agreed individually.

04

Reviewing where you are

Throughout our work, we review what is changing, what you understand differently and how this is affecting your everyday life.

The intention is for you to move forward with greater understanding, confidence and trust in yourself. For some clients, an ongoing relationship may be useful as new situations arise.

Finding a way forward

What becomes possible will be different for everyone. It might mean feeling calmer in difficult situations, being more present in your relationships or making decisions with greater confidence.

Ultimately, it's about being able to live, work and enjoy the things that matter to you, without the same difficulties having such an impact on your life.
