a Blog Post by me


"I'm the enemy of the unlived, meaningless life"

(Bob Dylan, False Prophet)

"All the trauma in the world comes originally from children trying to adjust to environments that are sometimes crazily impossible for them to understand and manage."

Khalil Gibran
Khalil Gibran

"As the mother’s psyche is split, so her heart is split also."

(Vivian Broughton - 2021)


Personal statement: I am a psychotrauma practitioner (originally a Gestalt psychotherapist) with over 30 years experience. My passion is working with people where there is the possibility of real, healthy emotional contact, where truth is honoured, and reality takes precedence over illusions.

"There are so many people in the world who have a good amount of 'healthy I'; it's just that they also have unresolved trauma and slide so easily into their survival strategies and ruin it all for themselves." (Vivian)
