About Me
Therapy often focuses on the short-term management of symptoms using manualised therapies. Our practice is rooted in a different tradition, appreciating the art and science of psychotherapy. We believe in the value of in-depth, long-term exploration for lasting change. We are a boutique alliance. At any one time we only see a small number of patients, so we can give you our full attention. While we are trained in CBT, ACT, EFS and IFS, these are but a sliver of our repertoire. We are interested in long-term depth work. Behind any diagnosis is a person with subjectivity, stories, dreams, and gifts. People are continually unfolding. We are interested in understanding how each person’s genetic and spiritual mosaic can and has been disrupted. By attending to these faultlines, we hope to free patients of walls and allow them to reclaim their sense of self in the world. Danu is a clinical psychologist who believes therapy is a paradox of acceptance and challenge. It is a puzzle to be solved with patients who have some psychic or social injury and are looking for someone to help them accept both who they are, and who they can be. Danu has a PhD (Clinical Psychology) and was a lecturer and a clinician in the justice system. Bilal is a psychologist with a curiosity for people and their patterning. He sees therapy as the play and poetics between two strangers in service of healing.
