Mission Statement:

My approach to Therapy and Healing is called “Experiential Psychotherapy”, as per Dr. Alvin Mahrer.  It is based on a model of Human Beings which posits that within each person resides an unconditional, non-judgmental love for who that person is, and the healthier person s/he has the potential to become.  As a Christian and practising therapist/counselor, that unconditional, non-judgmental love that dwells within is a representation of the Love that God, who is Love, has for each of us.  Experiential Psychotherapy uses physical and emotional feelings to access that Love within, allowing it to expose and illuminate healthier ways of being and behaving than the problematic ones we have been employing; that Love cajoles and begs us to embrace those healthier ways of being and behaving, and so, to become healthier persons.

This approach to Individual Psychotherapy is also  a major element of my Counselling service for couples, families and groups, as those participating agree to undergo individual Psychotherapy as a part of the service.
