to see themselves and their situation with clarity, and to enable them to find
and speak whatever is true for them. He is also interested in exploring how
to uncover and free ourselves from the self-limiting beliefs and messages which
we all carry. He has a particular interest in how underlying family dynamics
can shape our lives and how we can come to terms with the influence of our family's
past. In addition to Gestalt, Ian has trained in Family Constellations Therapy
in London and Germany. He works as a counsellor, counsellor trainer and therapy
group facilitator, and has a part-time job managing a counselling service in

has developed an exploratory and more eclectic approach which aims to respond
and adapt to the individual and the needs of their process. In this, the
work may or may not include the use of image making. While always remaining
contained within the therapeutic relationship, she aims to work with the client
to help identify and build upon their own resources for growth and change.
