How I Practice

During an initial assessment consultation, your needs, aims and wishes of therapy will be discussed and clarified to ensure we are working together toward the same goals. Based on your particular needs and wants we will devise a plan together. I have my expertise but, we will navigate together.

Within the therapy sessions we will begin to develop a sense of safety, gently building a relationship in which you can feel held and contained. I will offer support, gentle challenge, guidance, care and understanding. I will show intrigue within the silences rather than let these be prolonged, and support you to notice and explore what the silences may hold.

During our time together we will typically work to learn ways to calm your nervous system and begin healing your overall health and wellbeing, to allow a stronger more resilient you to emerge, to support any psychological change. We will work to identify the sources of your suffering alongside your strengths.

Dependent on your presenting needs and wishes for therapy we will begin to gently explore and unlock aspects of your story, moments of your life, the experiences, relationships and events that you’re bringing to therapy, being careful always to reduce the potential to retraumatise.

Alongside you, I will seek to hear the deeper thoughts, communications, emotions, and expressions your words and non-verbal cues convey, enabling you to increase your knowledge of self through this exploration and through psycho-education, and to effect change.

Utilising different therapeutic modalities we will gain clarity and understanding of your communications. Observing what emerges together, whilst being careful to not get hijacked by the memories. If appropriate, enabling you to gain agency within the memories by bringing physical motion from the e-motion that is arising, into the session, or calling upon parts of the self to support in the here and now, thus increasing understanding, power, a sense of control, compassion, reducing shame, gaining an adapted perspective and moving toward healing and hope.

I will support you to gain a deeper understanding of your body and mind . We will explore how trapped feelings manifest as pain and illness, poor sleep and fluctuations in appetite and arousal, and work to shift these. We will work with the mind, body, and Spirit to enable and support a whole-body approach to healing.

Through the therapeutic relationship, we will work to build a new story, a story in which all parts of your psyche come together to forge a new path of your choosing, where forgiveness of self and others is claimed. We can create a path where you are the hero in the vibrant life you are creating, beyond surviving.

The good news is, you can uncover, discover and recover your true self and your personal power.
