About me and my practice
Clients have described me as heartfelt and deeply authentic in my approach. I aim to offer you empathy, compassion, and understanding, which can help you to feel that someone really 'gets you'. I will also offer compassionate challenge, as sometimes transformation comes from feeling seen, heard and felt, but at other times it can be from compassionate questioning of patterns, thoughts, and behaviours. Through this balance I aim to create a space where you can grow a stronger and secure sense of self, so that you can start to feel calmer and more centred.
As an Integrative Transpersonal Therapist, I may draw on various psychotherapeutic disciplines, including psychodynamic, related neuroscience, somatic psychology, relational and archetypal psychology. For example, drawing on a psychodynamic approach may help us to explore your subconscious - what is just below the surface of your awareness - to bring it into your conscious mind so that you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and why you react or behaviour in the way you do. An integrated approach means I can take into account you as an individual and your circumstances, and use elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems.
My approach also often integrates body and movement with talk therapy. Because trauma and attachment problems directly impact the body, including the body in therapy work has the potential for deeper healing than just traditional talk therapy alone. For example, we may notice together any bodily sensations, patterns of tension, movements, posture or sensory information that arise for you. Overall, I work with a respect for all of mind, body, and spirit, whilst holding safety and compassion in uppermost importance.
Qualifications
My primary training was with Re-Vision in London, a respected training organisation for therapists. I hold a diploma accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). During this training, I worked as a volunteer counsellor at the Psychosynthesis Trust in London and for Clarity Counselling Services in Barnstaple.
Through my current psychotherapeutic practise I work with people with a range of ages, genders, and backgrounds. Previously I have worked with women experiencing challenging pregnancies, older men facing dementia, as well as people with learning disabilities through the charity sector.
I am currently undertaking additional training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-based therapy for addressing trauma and attachment difficulties arising from childhood.
