Dovetail Therapy

Welcome.

 

You're here, which is a good place to start. It's likely that you're here because you, or someone you know, needs some help understanding or coping with something that is going on right now. Hopefully, you'll find what you're looking for here.

​

We both began exploring therapy because of a sense that the gap between who we were and who we wanted to be was growing wider. We wanted to bring these two experiences closer together, to 'dovetail' who we were and who we wanted to be, to create a seamless join between our dreams and our lives. It took time, and it wasn't always plain sailing, but we have both experienced lasting change. This is what we aim for with you too. Therapy is a place to learn about yourself, perhaps in a way you never have before, you can then begin to make different choices, if you still wish to.

​

The most important thing is to find someone to talk to who you can grow to trust. This website will hopefully tell you enough about us and the way we work so you can decide whether to take the first step with one of us. If you decide we are not for you, there are some resources here that might help you with your onward journey.

​

​

We wish you well, whatever you choose.

I trained

at Cruse Bereavement Care,

 and at the Psychosynthesis Trust

in London. My volunteer placement

was at Compass, a mental health clinic

in Lymington. Before all this, I was an

actor.  I work with imagination, creativity and stories, drawing them together in an embodied experience.
