How Therapy Duo Works

Our work with individuals and couples is highly effective because we’re passionate about our approach.

We’re Different

Psychotherapy and relationship work are for us practices in the widest and deepest sense of the word – commitments to another person, or to a couple, to be with them in the present moment and to join in a co-creation that is energising and rewarding for them.

We both come from a Fine Arts background. We’re energised by and understand the crucial importance of the poetic and symbolic underpinnings of the psyche – from which our life energies, our eros, can arise to enrich our lives.

We’ve also both been deeply immersed in a range of spiritual traditions and practices. We understand that burning quests and fears about who we are can ultimately only be answered at the core levels of questioning identity and self-image; at an existential level.

Individuals

We bring our own particular skills to work with our individual clients.

Amanda has been a trainer at Gestalt training institutes for the past four years, and brings her rich understanding of the Gestalt approach to her work in the room. She also brings the unique experience to her work of having lived her early years in spiritual communities – understanding at a visceral and cellular level the importance of living a sacred and authentic life.

Ron is steeped in the contemplative way, and uses his blog at Contemplative Therapy to inquire into the essentials of living a life that is deeply connected to the Source of vitality.

Couples

We offer the unique experience of co-therapy: both of us (Amanda and Ron) in the room, working with you as a couple.

Consider this a small group, in the service of your relationship; a stable and safe environment where transformation occurs; not just of the relationship but of the individuals in it.
