MyNoise is not just another 'sound loop' app.
Uniquely, you can play MyNoise and whatever other music, videos, or podcasts that you like, both at the same time.
This makes MyNoise great for blocking out any intrusive soundscape with ambient sounds, from White Noise and Waterfalls, to Seascapes and Gregorian Chants.

The Gottmans have their own unique style of relationship therapy.
Behind their work lies a sense that we are all individuals who are curious about our relationships with ourselves and others.
I sometimes use a variety of Gottman Cards with individuals, groups, couples, and poly relationships to open up something different.

Well, not at all! Informed choice and ethical practice are the basis of my work.
Many of the things that irriate me as a professional therapist, and often get in the way for clients, including the misuse of pseudo-therapy in an unethical way by unqualified practitioners, are very usefully discussed and brought into the open.
