A Reflective & Depth-Oriented Approach
 

I have come to this work after years of exploring themes of belonging, purpose and identity in my own life, undertaking experiential trainings in rites of passage, embodied ecology, permaculture, (eco)philosophy & men's work.  

I trained as a facilitator with The Work that Reconnects network & as a guide to contemporary rites of passage & have undertaken diversity, difference & equity training with the National Coalition Building Institute. I am presently a trainee on the Bangor University MSc in Counselling & have completed the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies & Theory. I am trauma informed & complex trauma (CCTP-II) trained. I hold a diploma in Jungian Psychology, a diploma in Jungian Dream Analysis & extended trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS). I regularly offer experiential workshops at festivals & events across the UK & am co-lead facilitator of Deepen Your Roots.

I am a member of a long-term peer led men's group, which has, in part, ignited my fascination for the masculine & feminine patterns of our lives, directing me toward archetypal psychologies & a deep understanding of internal family systems therapy. I completed the New Warrior training Adventure in 2022 & have undertaken the Staff Training 1 with the ManKind Project. 

I am also part of a community grief tending circle, rekindling spaces where grief can be shared & alchemised. 

I have a deep interest in working with the  the masculine & feminine identity within the context of the lgbtqia+ community & with the experience of what is often termed 'midlife crisis'. 

I am passionate about the symbolic life, connection to the natural world & community building. I love to play tennis, hike & swim in the mountain rivers, play traditional Celtic & Appalachian music & spend time with friends and family. I am also a keen forager & permaculture gardener.
