"I will work on myself, since the work on myself is going to be the highest thing I can do for it all. Since I understand that as we up-level our own consciousness we see more creative solutions to the problems we're creating"

For thirty years I have been engaged in inner work. My life has been committed to healing: the trauma of adoption, early developmental trauma and a difficult childhood, while navigating my way through life, its ups and downs, challenges and traumatic events and relationships that it throws at all of us.
Early developmental childhood trauma sets us up for an often painful, difficult life. A life where we often struggle with addiction, the recreation of repeating unconscious patterns and we can easily get drawn in to abusive relationships and experiences. Self esteem and self love can be non existent.
We can heal, we can create a better life for ourselves and the ones we love.
Twenty five years ago I studied and trained to become a Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I worked full time as a psychotherapist and I have worked with individual clients and facilitated groups. I specialized in Adoption Issues, Complex PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), trauma, anxiety, depression, childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual violence.
I was committed to doing my own inner work and shadow work over these decades as I sat with, facilitated and accompanied others as they did their inner work with me.
In 2023 I closed my private psychotherapy practice. I knew I did not want to continue working as a psychotherapist as I had been. I also knew I was not finished with healing and working with others to heal and transform their circumstances and lives but I was still not sure about the direction of my work. I was going through a major personal transformation myself at this time. I sold my home and went traveling with no idea what was next. I had a great time. I learned a lot and I had many experiences along the way. My whole life was being changed and my inner being was reshaped. I had known for a long time that I could not stay the same after all the inner and shadow work, and healing I had done. I had to go after what I needed and wanted. I was responsible for my happiness, peace, serenity, abundance and joy that I now wanted and desire. My life of merely surviving was complete and my brain had been rewired to thrive, to be happy, abundant and to have a peaceful life being the person I was always meant to be. To step in to the life that had been waiting for me that could only arrive when I had healed.
Many of us get stuck on that bridge from surviving to thriving often returning to our former life and we stay with the healing modalities that got us to surviving, living on that bridge. This is not enough. Beyond Therapy is designed to bring you across that bridge more fully and to make change long lasting. The life I had been living no longer aligned with my new self esteem, self love and emerging belief systems and values for me, my clients and the world. I had moved Beyond Therapy.
​
I now knew the work that was calling me. To create Beyond Therapy and steward others on that bridge in its discomfort and often demanding surrender of the old outdated ways of being in the world and move in to more intentional, healthier, happier, successful ways of living and being.
Having transformed and reoriented my personal life I now knew how to do the same in my professional life. I needed to rework Psychotherapy with Coaching. I trained and I work as a Transformational & Psychotherapeutic Coach. An integration of my personal experiences, my years of professional Psychotherapy practice and Coaching skills and theory.
​
I call this Transformational & Psychotherapeutic Coaching.
I have always been called to be of service to humans and to society, to accompany and to facilitate healing, support and change. A catalyst to transformation. Beyond Therapy - A steward of a new future and the life that is meant for you, the life that is calling you and has your name on it.
​
Meet me on a thirty minute Zoom call if any of this resonates with you and you feel the call to heal, grow, change and transform any aspect of your life and being or indeed to move Beyond Therapy.
