Healing – Growing – Awakening

What has happened to us certainly shapes our ‘form identity’ (Eckhart Tolle), our small ego-self, but it does not have the last word on who we are. The ego views itself as a fragment, disconnected from others, and the world as a dangerous place - if that is the only sense of self we have, of course we are going to feel that we have to protect it at all costs. But who is it that feels the need to protect the ego?

“Ego would prefer that I not look directly into my deeper self, for there I would learn things bound to free me from its bondage. I would learn the endless beauty that lies beyond the writhing of my personal self”


Marianne Willimason, Day 214, a Year of Miracles

Therapy will help you gain compassionate clarity about how you’ve been formed in traumas and abandonments.

I offer a non-judging, unconditionally accepting, witness to your inner world and help you understand the forces that have formed it. Self-knowledge and awareness in the present moment is what produces change and growth.

Through our session, you have the opportunity to dive into the intimate immediacy of the present moment - which is the only moment we ever have - and the place we have direct access to our true nature, beyond our conditioning, and beyond our ego.

When we begin to make progress in therapy we can show up as our whole selves, and have an increased capacity to live fully in each moment, flexibly open to each experience Life presents us with – in so doing life becomes richer and fuller.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
