My approach places emphasis on:

• A caring, supportive, and respectful relationship¹ that empowers you and acts as a container and vehicle for our work together.

• Helping you reach and unlock your own inner resources, assisting your personal, emotional, and spiritual development.  

• Working in the mode that is most appropriate for you at any particular juncture.  The mode ranges from pragmatic counseling relating to outer world situations, through more emotionally and psychologically oriented work on specific difficulties and challenges,²  to work that fosters your spiritual growth.

• Suggesting ways in which you can work between sessions, thereby speeding your own progress and reducing the number of sessions that you need to have.  This individual work has an empowering effect, helping you to experience your personal control of your own work and progress.

At the same time, my approach is complementary rather than competitive with other approaches that place emphasis on techniques, on curing very specific symptoms, and that may employ drugs.

There is also no requirement that you hold any particular beliefs.
