" I can show you nothing that has not already its being in yourself. I can throw open to you no other picture gallery but your own soul. All I can give you is an an opportunity, the impulse, the key. I help you to make your own world visible" Herman Hess

I have many years of experience working in Sheffield and South Yorkshire with a wide range of life experience from a diverse background of ethnicity, sexual orientation and faith background.
If you care about qualifications, I take Jung's advice where that is concerned

"Learn theory as well as you can,
but then put it aside
when you come into contact
with the marvels of the living soul." C,S. Jung

My own life experience has cultivated qualities of understanding, compassion and empathy in me. I have learnt about pain, suffering and loss and having trawled those emotional depths I know there are pearls there too. Each sorrow has contained within it its own joy. Kahlil Gibran reminds us that out "joy is our sorrow unmasked "
While I have lived in Sheffield for many years I am not British, I know what is like to be an immigrant. Belonging is a very human longing and we all need to find ways of belonging in our life as well as in our communities.
