My Expertise
I have a particular area of interest and expertise is the developmental journey of adolescence, working very successfully with teenagers of various backgrounds. My practice in this area exemplifies dramatherapy as a modality particularly suited to the chaotic, mythic search for identity of this life stage, offering a consistent anchor of space to explore and play freely, untangling knots and embracing the vision of ones burgeoning adulthood. I bring this sensibility to this work with adults, able to access the latent teenager in any age group for the purposes of healing and further maturity. He is an expert in the field of looked-after children, with long term fostered clients of primary school age on his current caseload elsewhere

What I enjoy most about my work
With an expansive knowledge and practice across modes of working and therapeutic theory, Edward takes the revered psychotherapist Irvin Yalom’s advice: “Create a new therapy for each client”. His is fuelled by a trust in playfulness, and a deep faith that authentic communication between human beings is inherently healing, and can be discovered in as many ways as there are human beings
