Reading

This page gathers short, accessible pieces on therapy and emotional life. Each article is intended as a starting point for reflection rather than a guide.

These pieces might be read before making contact, to get a sense of how I approach difficulties and change – or alongside ongoing therapy, using a text as a way of considering a question between sessions.

Pieces are added occasionally. They are not a substitute for individual therapy and do not offer advice tailored to your circumstances — and you do not need to read them, or anything else, before therapy.

Therapy and the half-said

Therapeutic listening attends to traces of what a person is not saying or half-saying: the hesitations, unprovoked denials, repetitions, and slips.
