The Work
What working with me is actually like.
Approach
Therapy with me is a conversation, not a performance. I will not nod silently at you for fifty minutes. I ask questions other people are too polite to ask, I tell you what I see, and I expect you to tell me when I'm wrong. The work is collaborative, sometimes confronting, occasionally funny, because laughter, used at the right moment, opens doors that solemnity keeps shut.
Underneath the conversation is a consistent method: we find what the symptom was solving. We trace it back to where it was built. And then we do the part most therapy skips. The slow, repetitive, unglamorous work of building something that serves you better.
Insight alone changes nothing.
I'll say that again, because an entire industry is built on pretending otherwise: insight alone changes nothing. Change comes from what you do with it, repeatedly, until the new experience carries more authority than the old wound.
Specialisms
Equine-assisted therapy on the ridge.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Horses don't care about your job title. They read one thing: your nervous system. A horse will mirror the anxiety you've spent years hiding from everyone including yourself, and in doing so make visible what talking sometimes can't reach.
I offer equine-assisted sessions here on the ridge, working alongside my partner, an equine specialist. It is not petting therapy. It is some of the most honest feedback you will ever receive.
Private Practice
Limited availability for new clients.
I work with a small number of private clients, both online and in person in Andalusia. I currently have limited availability for new clients whose situation and needs are a good fit for the way I work.
If something on this site has resonated with you, the first step is simply to get in touch. Tell me a little about what is happening and what you are looking for, and we can decide whether it makes sense to speak. For situations that can't wait for weekly therapy, The Ridge Intensive runs residential programmes twice a year.
