"At the heart of Awaken Therapy is our desire for healthy people to be living their best lives in a better world – a world anchored in love, harmony and compassion."
We all strive for a world where trauma doesn’t dictate our future, where everyone can achieve their full potential, and healthy families nurture new generations to thrive. At Awaken Therapy, we believe this is not only a possibility, but a reality within our grasp.
Confronting painful emotions and experiences can be challenging, but you don’t need to face them alone. From feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger and depression to deeper challenges such as unresolved traumas and abuse – I am here to guide, support, and empower you.
Whether your goals are to live more authentically, reach your greatest potential, reduce anxiety, or heal past wounds, you will find a nurturing, compassionate space here.
My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, combining the best of psychology, clinical hypnotherapy, spiritual traditions from East and West, practical experience and professional intuition developed over the last thirty years.

In this post-Covid world of high stress and long waiting lists, you deserve to have access to powerful, effective tools, techniques and supportive care, in timely and affordable ways.
I offer individual and couples counselling sessions, group therapy circles, online courses, books and audio programs, and uplifting spiritual art (with my wife Tia Rose).
Are you ready to heal and awaken to your true potential? Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
