What to Expect in Your First Therapy Session
In a first session overview, we look at the overall picture of what’s happening in your life. If two or three things are occurring at the same time (as is often the case), we focus upon the most pressing issue.
While these presenting problems are usually current, the therapies I offer always work to reach the source of these issues. Underlying emotional pain, fear, or anger will always have roots in childhood, where we have developed defensive behaviours to cope with parents’, teachers’ and society’s limiting demands
These defenses are seldom examined or upgraded as we get older. It’s like there’s a frightened, angry and confused child directing our adult life from behind the scenes.
The therapies I offer tend to avoid long discussions and stories with lots of detail. In my experience, talk therapy can only reach the surface of an issue. This keeps the intellect engaged in past/future thinking mode. A first session overview shows me how best to proceed in future sessions.

In Healing Our Inner Demons, we gain priceless Self Awareness
However, when we push away and disown our unwanted behaviours, many things happen. Disowning our anger, jealousy, fears, and hatreds means that these emotions have nowhere to go. We then, unintentionally create these “demons” that come back to haunt us when we’re feeling low, tired or ill.
Negative Conditioning from Childhood
Say I have had many ongoing childhood experiences of being found “wrong”, “not good enough”, or labelled “stupid” by either parents or teachers. Years later, I leave home/school, but by now I’ve turned this abusive behaviour back towards myself – beating myself up, condemning my every effort to connect with others.
Can’t Sleep? How to Overcome Insomnia and Restore Your Sleep
So often, the dread of something is far worse than the thing itself. Worrying about sleeplessness, and about how we’ll feel the next day burns up far more energy than simply accepting it; relaxing and focusing on letting go. Whenever we lack sleep and feel fragile, whenever we feel vulnerable or overstretched, we try to control our lives by mapping out our future. In attempting to “sort things out”, we can fall prey to obsessive “planning” in the small hours of the morning – a time when reality is often distorted and when we can’t do anything anyway.

Observing oneself instead of blaming another.
When two people come together, there is initially the exciting “honeymoon” period. They’re getting to know each other. However, after a few months or even mere weeks, the gloss diminishes. This is when the deeper aspects of each begin to surface. But how many realise that seeing their relationships for spiritual growth can be a very dynamic way to develop.
For instance we bring to every relationship, romantic or otherwise, all the unresolved baggage from our own past.
The more intimate the relationship, the more of our fears, anger or insecurities from the past will surface. These emotional limitations rise up from our own deeper layers. Sadly, many potentially great relationships flounder at this stage. It’s as if each person stands on either side of a great emotional mess. Far from being aware of their own pain & limitation, they’re pointing the accusatory finger at the other.
Releasing Thought Rocks from Conception to Birth
Letting go of old Fears
From the moment of conception, the developing foetus is being prepared for the world it will be born into. Therefore, during the 9 months of gestation in the womb, we are profoundly affected by our parents.
Their every mood, emotion and attitude to life is woven into the growing foetus. In this way, the newborn baby is then ready to face the life situation and environment it will be arriving into.
Mindful pregnancy profoundly affects the unborn child
I cannot emphasise strongly enough how important it is for a pregnant woman to take the time to connect to her unborn child. To frequently send loving thoughts to the tiny embryo growing within her. This is far more important than deciding what clothes or bedroom decor to prepare for the infant. Without exception, the pregnant women I’ve worked with say how responsive and alert their infant was as a direct result of tuning into him/her when they were in the womb. Why is this? Because they’ve grown to associate their mother’s (and father’s) voice with sending them love, warmth, and a huge welcome.
