If you know you are (or believe you may be) the sole survivor of a twin or multiple pregnancy, then this is the site for you.

HELP
I am happy to help wombtwin survivors, their parents and therapists working with them. I work mainly by personal e-mail, but face-to-face meetings can be arranged.
INFORMATION
There is a lot of information on this site, but there may be some things that are a bit puzzling. Just e-mail me and I will do my best to explain. The is a good start.
THERAPY
I am a qualified counsellor and I use all those skills in my work with wombtwin survivors, such as active listening skills, empathy and an awareness of the need for strong boundaries of and confidentiality.
However after many years I have come to understand that what is being called forth from me is not counselling or even therapy, in the ordinary sense. I have come to realise that, once a wombtwin survivor has recognised that simply being a wombtwin survivor is of their own psychological, emotional and relationship problems, they feel much better almost at once.
This awareness is the trigger to a healing journey that is inevitable. All I can ever do is facilitate it. That is why I say that the therapy I offer - if that is the right word for it - is facilitated self-healing.
I can facilitate your healing by being a sounding board; a calm and unruffled presence; a wise friend; a source of information and help. If that is what you need, then simply ask for it. As far as I can, I will reply to every e-mail and be there for you as you make those first steps forward towards healing and a better life.
