My approach to clinical consultation is different from other groups I've experienced. 

There are two general approaches to clinical consultation groups. The most common presents the client as a problem, and then the group addresses how to approach that kind of challenging client.  The second approach presents the client as a type, and then the group talks about how to do therapy with that type. 

The problem with those approaches is they often miss what the counsellor really needs, which is to increase their understanding of their own personal, emotional and technical challenges the *counsellor* is facing.

Counsellors in my groups get help with their clinical achilles heels, and they become better therapists this way. They get help, not just with the particular case they brought up, but they become better counsellors by imnproving their clinical technique, which just about always involves increasing the clinician's self-understanding and self-management while working. 

I help my supervisees become personally self-aware in clinical realtime, so that their emotions and judgments don't interfere with their work, and I help hone the instincts and reflexes about what to do, and what not to do.

I prioritize honing your foundational counselling skills while helping you mindfully note, understand and manage your emotional states, thoughts, judgments and fears while working.

With over thirty years of experience as an individual, couples and group therapist, clinical supervisor, and radio talk show host I love organizing inclusive, non-competitive, stimulating conversational environments.  I avoid clinical buzzwords and technical jargon, and communicate clearly and effectively with my supervisees and my own clients.
