Awareness and compassion are universally applicable principles, and I work with whatever people bring through the office door. That said, certain themes come up repeatedly among my clients.

You may feel drawn to this work if you:

• Have worked through years of therapy, coming to intimate terms with your past, and feel ready for the next step
• Long to express your unique creative being, yet feel paralysed by fear, numbness or confusion
• ‘Have it all’ in your life, and yet keep thinking, ‘There must be something more’
• Struggle as a spiritual practitioner with real-life issues and emotions
• Feel cut off from the deeper aspects of your being
• Wrestle with dark and difficult emotions: grief, despair, anger, fear, self-loathing
• Yearn for an initiation into the depths of your own nature — a rite of passage that often coincides with midlife
• Find yourself dealing with painful life transitions, and are willing to ask the hard questions:
  ‘What really matters?’
  ‘What do I need to learn?’
  ‘How can I grow through this?’
