More about Sheldon

  • BACP

We are the same, you and I, separated only by the roles we play, and the lessons we are here to learn.

Mine have taught me much about the profound nature of consciousness, the absurdity of the human condition, the reality of enlightenment, and the ways in which suffering can be truly transcended.

And having walked the walk, and died the (many) deaths along the way, I help others transcend their own suffering, through my work as a knowing Psychologist, Therapist, Guide, and Advisor.

I work with a broad range of clients, on a wide range of issues, but with over 30 years of proven experience in high-value commerce and trade, I am especially well-placed to help working people heal, evolve, navigate change, and answer the ‘big questions’; whilst reconciling conscious expansion with the practical demands of life at work and at home - using the challenges of both as tools for growth.

Through bornpsychology, I offer to you what worked for me – in the form of Insight Meditation Therapy (‘IMT’); a modality that combines the complementary endeavours of seeking knowledge (‘Insight’), with introspection (‘Meditation’), and healing (‘Therapy’); to cultivate true sovereignty of mind, and turn suffering into serenity – irrespective of circumstance.

Primarily, the work I do is defined by the practical manner in which it brings the seemingly esoteric into the sharp focus of the ‘real-world’; and its ability to dovetail psychological, existential, and ‘spiritual’ work, with the life circumstances around us – whatever they may be.

Overall though, my work with IMT may be regarded as a quest for supreme ultimate knowledge, which emphasises the importance of understanding such phenomena as identity, attachment, scarcity, and desire; and the relationship which exists between consciousness, thought, emotion, belief, and ‘reality’; to help humanity evolve collectively as we heal individually; and in doing so, create a world more abundantly defined by Truth and Love – rather than illusion and fear.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
