about me

I live in Maidstone with my wife, son and daughter. Most of my days are taken up with my therapeutic work. When there is a window of opportunity, I tend to turn to music, which has been an important feature of my entire life. I also love being out of doors and out of town, as well as reading.

 

I was born in Indianapolis, but grew up in San Antonio, Texas. For a few years I lived in Montana, where I taught Philosophy and Humanities at the University of Montana. My first family still lives in America.

 

I first came to England in 1970 and have been officially settled here since 1980. Since 1979 I have worked with adults and children as a therapist – initially a movement therapist (eurythmist). I have been counselling clients since 1989.

 

qualifications and training

I completed my initial training counselling/psychotherapy at the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust in London in 1989. Since then I have been seeing clients privately and as a member of a therapist team at an NHS practice. I have been involved in therapeutic and healing work since 1972.

 

In 2004 I received a diploma in supervision from Cascade Training Associates and began to supervise counsellors and other professionals. In 2006 I received a Diploma in Life Coaching from Newcastle College.

 

Prior to these, I completed training in eurythmy (1976, Vienna Eurythmy School) and therapeutic eurythmy (1980, Stuttgart, Therapeutic Eurythmy Training), which I practiced professionally for 10 years.

 

In 1959 I completed a degree in music (BSc, University of Texas at Austin). Following that, I completed a philosophy degree in 1962 (PhD, University of Texas at Austin).
