Integral soulful conversations

I offer deep, soulful conversations that focus in helping you find yourself, fulfil yourself and grow yourself in this troubled and  beautiful world. For 2020 and beyond, I will not be offering face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy work, but focus more on deep wellbeing, soulmaking, warm data work, support with climate anxiety and developmental coaching. During the COVID-19 crisis, my work takes place predominantly online via. Skype, Zoom and email support.

Climate minds 

These days, I am particularly concerned in supporting individuals who are looking to respond – in whatever way – to the crises of climate breakdown, COVID and related challenges. This might involve working to support you in your wellbeing, spirituality, creativity, activism, art – or a combination of all these. The climate emergency is a particular and unique trauma that we have never faced before, so it is not surprising that people find it difficult to respond to and live with. This might involve us in living well in the present, even if we cannot hold hope for the future.

Warm Data 

Warm Data Labs are group processes, which highlight interdependency and generate understanding of systemic patterns. They are based on the work of Nora Bateson, building on her father, Gregory's insights in sysetms and complexity, through his Steps to an Ecology of Mind. I have recently trained as a Warm Data Host and intend to bring these insights into my work with individuals and groups. Find out more about Warm Data HERE. 

Workshops, training and creativity

You might also complement your coaching work with the Deep Wellbeing and Soulmaking course, that has been running online and face-to-face during 2019 and 2020. There will be a new online course group starting in 2021, so get in touch if you'd like to get involved. I can also offer creativity coaching which will help you develop your own creativity, imagination and artistic practices. I've worked to support a number of writers, artists and creative practitioners over the years. I edit Unpsychology Magazine which draws together activists and artists who are responding to the big social and ecological themes in the world today.
