Discover Healing Strengths: My journey and approach

Welcome to Healing Strengths. Here, you can learn about my extensive background in mental health and addiction support, alongside my spiritual journey that has shaped my approach to well being. I'm here to help you find your strengths and navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding.

My approach to supporting your well-being

I integrate mainstream counseling models with my professional experience in assessing mental health and addiction/dependency issues. My focus is holistic . (Dealing with or treating the whole of something or someone and not just a part).

I aim to support your Strengths rather than just manage symptoms. I may encourage you to engage in a range of exercises, often incorporating imagery, which I regularly use. These targeted exercises  can to help you to achieve some strong and hopefully lasting results! I post out any material that you are interested in. Material used will be available on the Resources page.

Of course if you prefer just to talk -I'm listening!

An inclusive and accepting space for everyone

I am here to work with any issue, for any person, regardless of their faith or none. I offer an accepting and non-judgemental space, respecting your preferences, personality type, or personal beliefs and perspectives. My goal is for you to feel understood and supported, knowing that I can work with you on any dimension of your life's journey. I tailor my approach to your needs, and have extensive experience of working with many clients from all walks of life.

My journey into mental health and spiritual support.

I left London in 1966 without clear direction. I was 17. I "washed up" in India in 1976 and stayed 10 years. I became a monk and lived in Ashrams, holy places and studied with gurus. {In the last 15 years I have written 9 books - spirituality with mental health connections}.

For many, spiritual exploration is also  integral to overall well-being. Drawing from my personal journey and extensive experience, I offer guidance and support for those seeking to integrate spiritual practices, find meaning, and enhance their sense of purpose in life, respecting all faiths and personal preferences. {Spiritual/religious issues. Meditation/mantras & more}.

I believe Healing Strengths may be transformative. Support may have a beneficial effect, and help you to navigate  mental health and other challenges - giving rise to a newfound sense of emotional understanding in all areas.

We all want to feel truly heard and accepted.
