I started out my professional life in a very traditional way, training in medicine, and then specialising in mental health. I worked with children and families as a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist for 30 years.
Alongside that, and over the same period of time, I have practiced as a psychotherapist, with Gestalt psychotherapy being my core model. I have been involved in holotropic breathwork since 2016, and have trained in the UK, the USA and in Europe.
Together with Sally Hayward-Young I now want to make holotropic breathwork available in the UK, and we are offering workshops in the New Forest, in the south of England.
“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feelings with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are, beyond that pain.” — Khalil Gibran
