ABOUT
The Short Version
Carl Jung was a "physician of the soul" and I have always been cut from similar cloth. I live and breathe in a world animated by what heals and hurts the human condition.​ I am classically trained, trauma-informed and beaten into shape through the beautiful mess of helping people in the real world.
​
We meet as equals. I have learned to understand myself in terms of 'the wounded healer'; there is a good chance I've been close to where you find yourself and connection with that pain keeps me connected to the living, beating heart of true healing.
​
This is not just psychotherapy - we will travel to the very core of who you are.
​
And know it not just in your mind, but in your heart, and in your body. We will look at the games you are playing, those that you are winning and those you are not.
​
I will guide you to come into direct, visceral contact with the 'why' behind the 'what' of your life. Once we know that, I will arm you with the conscious and repeatable means to finally handle the darkness underneath that drives you. With this new ability, you free up capacity to consciously uncover what matters most to you and walk the path that matters. Through closely analysing your behaviour and making surgical changes we can find out what is truly required to hold fast to a life of vitality, through it's inevitable ups and downs.
This blend of theory and practice is powerful enough to bring about lasting change in as little as a few weeks, and flexible enough to deepen your inquiry and growth on the long-haul, should you choose it.
​
I look forward to meeting you.
What about the next revolution in psychotherapy?
-
Whilst I am not Carl Jung, Steven Hayes, Siddhatha Gautama, Tara Brach...modern practitioners stand on the shoulders of giants that run down through into ancient history, lying on bedrock formed even before that, as mother nature shaped and moved her many limbs in deep time.

All practitioners, the good ones anyway, seek to develop their knowledge. To cross-pollinate information from multiple sources, find the common denominators, bring them into clinical practice and test for their ease, patient experience and effectiveness.
​
-
We are limited primarily by the amount we can read, understand and bring into living knowledge. Perhaps more so in modern times, we are limited by the ever increasing pace of life. The web, apps, the cloud...it has all sped up our ability to research and learn. But there is still an issue of bandwidth. Not your connection speed, but the interface of your mind with the computer itself. A keyboard, a mouse or touchscreen, click click click...where was I again? Where is that important note? Why do I have so many tabs open?
​

AI is evolving at an extremely fast rate. It has already proven itself to be exceptionally useful in multiple clinical workflows. Translating session recordings into accurate transcripts, parsing those transcripts into formatted session notes, reducing complexity into key learning for the patients, finding links between sessions, developing formulations, generating questions on blindspots and essentially acting as a sounding board with a PhD level understanding in just about any aspect of psychology, sociology, anthropology, mythology, neuroscience, psychiatry, nutrition and exercise science that you might want to reference, almost at the speed of thought.
​
-
When multiple disciplines across any input type stream can be reduced into the common denominator of all knowledge - information itself - you are in an entirely new position, where advances in each field can compound more quickly into advances of the others. Eventually, with enough compute, even dividing knowledge into separate disciplines will use its utility. The subject name does not matter. Does it work? This is the only thing that matters.
​
-
I have created complex and automated workflows that are subscribed to the most respected journals in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma processing, neuroscience, psychiatry, nutrition and effects of exercise and sports physiology as it relates to mental wellbeing and the paths of healing. Every one of these points at multiple AI agents that act on my behalf to collate, summarise, integrate and synthesise knowledge into my own personal database.
​
-
As an software engineer, I have developed a system that allows me to move flexibly around this constantly evolving ecosystem of associative knowledge. I can visualise data, link concepts, gather new ideas and then select certain filters through which to run patient information and generate a brainstorm of assessment diagnostics, relevant psychometrics and treatment plans across multiple domains that are tailored specifically to each unique individual. I can quickly generate reports, treatment summaries, indexes of what worked for you and what didn't, your strengths and weaknesses, your blindspots, prioritised lists of future areas of focus likely to elevate the ceiling of your wellbeing.
​
-
On registration, you will be granted your own personal account that gives you full control over your data. Full permissions, no questions asked. It's your data, not mine. With your permission, I can translate your data into an anonymised version stripped of names and locations, but keep the patterns that worked. I store and analyse my own personal performance over time, for the purposes of supervision and understanding my own strengths and weaknesses.
​
-
Your personal information comes with the assurance of a private cloud database stored in multiple, failure tolerant cloud servers distributed across the globe, each with military grade encryption, high bandwidth and high availability. Your data is safe and quick to create, read, update and delete as necessary.
​
-
This is still psychotherapy. Depending on your membership level, you will have at least weekly sessions with myself, anywhere from 1 to 3 hours long depending on your personal needs. I work flexibly, responding to you in each moment with only the lightest touch of diagnostic guidance. We don't need to put you in another box; we need to get you out of it.
​
-
By the end of the therapeutic process, you will have access to a fully hyperlinked personal website, accessible from anywhere. It will contain all your assessment information, session recordings, transcripts, my thoughts and feelings, detailed session notes, session summaries, your practice logs and reflections, visual analytics of changes over time across multiple dimensions of psychological flexibility. Last but not least, a personalised relapse prevention plan that reduces down the most important things for you to focus on in the short, mid and long term to sustain and develop on your progress.
