Originally from Lancashire, UK but now I find myself in a very special place in the world called Nova Scotia, Canada.  I have always been interested in people, their emotions and deep conversations, this led me into my psychology career which I have been studying and practicing for over 15 years.  Over the last 4 years, I have become increasingly interested in the healing power of psychedelic and spiritual experiences which have dramatically enhanced the healing of my own inner wounds.  Because of these profound transpersonal experiences, I now work to blend psychological and spiritual approaches to enhance the innate healing powers that exist in us all.  In my work, I use a combination of Intensive Short Term Dynamic Therapy (which I have 13+ years training in), Internal Family Systems and Transpersonal Therapies influenced by Jung and Stanislav Grof among others.
