My Therapeutic Practice

My therapeutic practice is based on the idea that difficulties experienced in the present quite often have their roots in the past. Without being aware of it, we may have formed patterns of thinking, feeling, relating and behaving that may have become troublesome, unhelpful or unwanted in our lives today.

 

Especially with past experiences that overwhelmed us , we might find ourselves re-living these in the present, often manifesting as intrusive thoughts, feelings, images, and/or body sensations. 

 

Therapeutic Counselling can provide a nurturing relationship in a comfortable and safe environment, where we can express our feelings freely, explore our thoughts, reflect on our behaviours and experiences, and use our body’s innate intelligence as a resource. Therapy can help people become ‘unstuck’ and to improve emotional, physical and mental well-being.   Positive experiences and feelings, such as empathy, self-esteem, love, courage and contentment may increase by moving to a more fluid, expansive way of being.

​

My work is mainly guided and informed by the psychoanalytic/psychodynamic traditions, but also by somatic experiencing, body-based therapies and non-Western, indigenous wisdoms and spirituality. 

​

I am experienced in working with adult individuals, and groups.
