I understand there can be many reasons why someone would be hesitant, and find it difficult to begin psychotherapy. If you experience any of these, or other similar examples, I encourage you to let me know. It doesn't necessarily mean we can't work together or that therapy isn't for you. In fact, worries of this kind can be a worthy starting point, and often prove important and valuable to explore. There are often multiple and very personal reasons behind any of the issues b

Online sessions for Art Psychotherapy or soul-centered Mentoring can work well for many people, as an alternative to in person meetings.

Ithell Colquhoun’s work stands at the crossroads of art, magic, and social reform. Rooted in landscape, myth, and the living intelligence of matter, her paintings and writings speak powerfully to contemporary longings for depth, enchantment, and ecological relationship.

Fifty years after James Hillman published Re Visioning Psychology, his work remains vivid, challenging, and creatively alive. This article explores Hillman’s life, ideas, and contributions to archetypal psychology, with reflections on image, soul, dreams, imagination, and the deep ecological and cultural themes that shaped his vision.

Art Psychotherapy for Creatives offers a supportive and imaginative space for artists, writers, musicians and performers who want to explore their inner life, creative blocks and emotional wellbeing. Working online across the UK, I provide depth oriented therapy that helps you reconnect with meaning, expression and creative confidence in a safe, reflective space.

A personal reflection on how astrology and depth psychology meet within the shared language of symbolism, offering new ways to understand psyche, relationship, and meaning.

Different landscapes in our sense of the world also speak to us differently, and here it serves us to consider the aspect of ‘North’ in Phillips’s work. Made on and of the chalklands of England’s South Downs, then nurtured and moulded in art school in South Wales (where his dissertation for his degree in Fine Art provides us with another clue -  ‘Remedy in the Affliction: Beginning with the Wound’) the intervening years have slowly led the artist Northwards.

What struck me most during the workshop, and what I have since revisited in reading his work, is Romanyshyn’s ability to remain faithful to both scholarship and soul. He does not reduce myth to symbol, or psychology to a set of tools or techniques. Instead, he invites us into a relationship with psyche, with image, with story.

This year the Scottish Centre for Geopoetics celebrates its 30th anniversary with this edition of Stravaig. I am delighted to have two recent works published in the new edition of their journal Stravaig. There they find themselves in the very good company of artwork, poetry, and essays from members of the Geopoetics community. I joined the organisation following the 2017 conference held on Seil, an island off the west coast of Scotland which is separated from the mainland by

What if the ecological crisis is not only environmental, but spiritual? A therapist and artist reflects on Spiritual Ecology and the sacred call of the Earth.

The work of Anselm Keifer has been an inspiration to my own since I first began to create visual art. This superb exhibition of varied pieces from earlier in his career brought me in touch with the work in a new way, and also evoked memories of perhaps my most significant encounter with an artwork to date. Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England Anselm Keifer — Urd, Werdandi, Suld (Die Nornen), (The Norns), 1981 - Oil on canvas About the exhibition Anselm Kiefer: Early Works is a

Last week I visited the west country, during a spell of unusually prolonged warm and sunny weather for the British Isles during spring. Here are some of the places that drew my attention. The Power Of Dartmoor The granite Tors of Dartmoor. I found these places profoundly strange and powerful, with the unusual forms of rock that occupy the peaks and have prominence over the land for many surrounding miles. Shaped by millenia of glacial activity and weathering, some of them app

I offer both Art Psychotherapy, and Mentoring / Coaching sessions. There are many similarities and overlaps, for a start, in all my work with people I am interested in the life of the soul, and how difficulties or challenges can be guides and openings to depth, meaning, and transformation. Or in other words, the lifelong task of becoming yourself. However, Mentoring and Psychotherapy are not the same thing, and it is important to understand how they differ. There are many dif

As you can see from the condition of this book, it has lived a life. A sign of its importance to me during the past decade, and no doubt beyond. Pretending To Be Alive We may do the same work and do it well, but we may do it well in a way that does not engage our deeper powers in any real conversation, so that we lose any sense of personal edge. We may be admired in our work, but the admiration blinds and insulates us from the loss of something robust and lifelike inside us.

An exploration of material becoming living presence in the art object. Jungian Analyst Warren Colman explores the formation of Archetypes as derived from human engagement with their social and material environment. This is a phenomenological approach which sees psychic life as emergent from embodied action in the world, in contrast to a classical Jungian perspective which would view archetypes as pre-existent, either 'inborn' biologically, or metaphysically a priori . As I
