About Me
I trained as a shadow work practitioner with the Healing The Shadow organisation. I was introduced to shadow work in 2016 when I got involved with the Man Kind Project. Having previously lost my wife to cancer, I then did a piece of work with my grief. This was transformational, much more so than previous traditional counselling sessions. It helped me to move on. Subsequently I did more work, on grief, addiction and low self-esteem. In 2019 I took the opportunity to train as a Healing The Shadow Practitioner qualifying in 2021. I retired from my professional career as a manager and engineer in industry in 2020. It may seem an unusual transition from engineer to therapist, but I always enjoyed and had an aptitude for working with people and building teams.
My journey has now encompassed a significant amount of personal work, helping me to bring my archetypal energies in to balance, accepting all parts of myself especially the vulnerable and shameful parts, and allowing me to live a life of purpose and joy. My job now is to bring the transforming and healing power of Healing The Shadow to those who wish to benefit from it.
