A Different Way of Working
I offer a compassionate, therapeutic space where, through transformational dialogue, a body-focused relational therapy, you can reconnect to your deep inner awareness, resilience and capacity for meaningful change.
Transformational Dialogue is my unique approach to body-focused relational therapy. It has evolved through more than 45 years of clinical practice and over 18,000 hours of working directly with clients. Integrating embodied awareness, compassionate dialogue and deep presence, it supports emotional healing, personal transformation and lasting change.
My work with you would be both gentle and powerful, bringing you more deeply in touch with yourself and your inner creativity and aliveness, to help resolve whatever may be in the way of your experiencing your life to the full. Whatever challenges you are facing, we will face together.
How Transformational Dialogue Works
Transformational Dialogue as relational therapy is a conversation between therapist and client emphasising embodied relational presence. It arises through the living connection between us and through our shared attention to what is unfolding in the present moment. This work is for your emotional healing and personal transformation.
This body-focused therapy is based on a deep trust in your own innate wisdom, intuition and emotional intelligence along with a trust in the emerging relational field. These qualities can be accessed more fully when awareness is gently brought to your felt sense - the subtle language of body sensations, emotions, images and inner responses.
Together we explore what is present for you through a process of conscious inquiry. As awareness deepens, space opens for new understanding to emerge, including fresh ways of relating to the difficulties and challenges you bring. All your pain and vulnerability is welcome and held, including those emotions you may stuggle to be with.
Healing Through Presence
As you become more present to yourself, you begin to uncover the love, the joy and the peace that is at the depth and core of your being, and that lie beneath your psychological and emotional wounds and trauma. I am interested in supporting you in touching your deepest essence, the spiritual core that lies beneath your suffering.
Transformational Dialogue, as an embodied therapy, recognises that we each carry within us the resources needed to meet life’s struggles and live with meaning and fulfilment. At times we may need support to reconnect with these inner resources. Through dialogue, reflection and exploration, new perspectives, possibilities and pathways can begin to appear.
Through this work, you can begin to restore a sense of choice and personal empowerment, allowing you to move more fully into the driving seat of your life.
Why Body-Focused Relational Therapy?
Sometimes talking alone is not enough. We may understand our patterns intellectually while still feeling trapped by them. Transformational Dialogue gently includes the wisdom of the body - our sensations, emotions, images and intuitive responses—allowing change to arise not only through insight but through lived experience. This often leads to a deeper and more lasting sense of healing.
Transformation occurs naturally and spontaneously in the moment as you tend to what beckons and what has laid unattended to in the shadow. The work supports you in trusting your immediate experience as it unfolds. Through this process, a deeper relationship with yourself develops, bringing greater self-trust, emotional balance and inner integration.
Through this deepening of self-awareness and self discovery, mind, body, soul and spirit have the opportunity to come into greater harmony and wholeness.

My dialogue sessions with Keith have been both transforming and restorative.
Keith’s deep holding allows me to completely let go and tune in to what's really going on for me. He goes into the darkness with me and, when I get stuck or lose my way and I can't see the wood for the trees, he will intuitively say just enough to enable me to go down a little deeper, allowing me to connect to deep inner truths that had been hidden from view.
Keith is brilliant at what he does. A unique dialogue therapy that communicates directly with the heart and soul.

I have worked with Keith on and off for a few years now and am always blown away by his ability to hold me in my most vulnerable and scary places and offer me that helping hand so that I can reach those parts of me that are longing to be seen and felt.
I have worked through old patterns of trauma and had such incredible shifts both physically and emotionally. It's been the most powerful work I've ever experienced. He truly is a master of his art. I leave every session lighter, more peaceful and with a sense of deep connection to source and why I am here.
He is a wonderful man, and I will forever be grateful for the life that I am now more able to enjoy, and for the love that I feel for myself and the world. Thank you so much Keith,
Martha
In a nutshell Keith is the real deal. I am in my late sixties and have seen many different alternative practitioners to help me improve my well being. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
His approach is gentle and non-invasive yet highly skilled to a level that I had not come across before. With his support, I have been able to change patterns in me to a degree that it has impacted my physicality. My body is more relaxed and an historic pattern of chronic insomnia is really beginning to change.
At the end of each session I experience a lot of relief and a gratitude that I found Keith and his support. Thank you Keith from the bottom of my heart. You are a gift in my life.
