"The potential to experience joy, spontaneity, to be present to each moment is often within reach but out of sight."

Over 20 years ago John was involved with a therapeutic community on a small island off the coast of Ireland where he opened up to the magical realms of the psyche.

This community went beyond the usual heady dissection sometimes associated with analytical therapy instead focusing on such things as relationships, trusting the body, growing food and living in a community, whilst at the same time finding space inside for the  infinite universe.  This experience galvanised an interest in all aspects of how one relates to the world and each other.

John has trained in various therapeutic approaches including Embodied Relational Therapy (Dip), Reichian deep bodywork  (Dip), trans-cultural counselling and psychodrama. He also works therapeutically outdoors, using nature metaphorically as a way of healing. 

John is a Member of IPN (Independent practitioners network)
