Welcome to Core Development

Are you stressed, anxious or depressed, or know someone who is, but hesitate to seek help because you do not want to be labelled dysfunctional or mentally ill?

Do you want to be true to yourself in an environment or society that may not always share your priorities and values?

Would you like to try a different approach?

I adopt a learning rather than a clinical approach. I see therapy as an opportunity to enrich every aspect of our lives.

Rather than looking for what’s wrong with you, I look for what’s trying to emerge, what needs to happen, and how I can support you in taking your next step.

This reveals your hidden strengths as well as your underlying challenges.

Life can be difficult sometimes.

Many of us experience stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, frustration or relationship difficulties.

These feelings often arise because you do not fit into any of the boxes that you are expected to fit into. Your needs are not understood and they are not being met.

I’ve been through this myself. I know how it feels. I’ve turned my own life around after many years of distress and helped many others do the same.

I offer sessions for individuals, couples, parents and teenagers, and talks and workshops for groups and organisations.

My aim is to help you deal effectively with the challenges you are facing, so you can make your life and relationships more fulfilling.

Anxious? Depressed?

Tired and Irritable?

Relationship Problems?

Confused and Frustrated?

Sore Back and Headaches?

Lacking Energy and Enthusiasm?
