Philosophy & Vision
Hi, I'm Jack. I am a psychotherapist, educator, father and long term partner and I came to this work through my own experiences with therapy. I have come to trust that both acceptance and change are possible in our lives. My approach is safe, gentle, evidence-based and grounded in relationship. In a non-pathologizing, non-judgemental way, I walk alongside people to cultivate a greater connection to self, each other and the planet.
There are many reasons we may begin therapy; we may long for change or hope for opportunities for healing, growth and transformation. Whether there is a particular thing you are struggling with, a need for greater support, or an interest in deepening self-awareness, I can support you on your journey.
Background
I have been working with people for over 15 years. As a therapist, educator, parent and partner I am relationship focussed. My approach is informed by my interest in neuroscience, trauma and attachment theory. As well as my professional learning and qualifications, I also bring my own humanity, lived experience and personal experiences of growth and transformation through therapy.
