About me and my therapy practice

I offer therapy that is mindfulness based, as well as neuroscience informed.

What does this mean?

The sessions are an opportunity to explore your current life difficulties, with a focus on developing tool and skills to manage daily life with a little more ease.

The sessions are framed around what you'd like to gain and how you're feeling on the day. Issues such as anxiety, excessive worrying, high stress states or feelings of disconnection from yourself, others or the natural world can be explored.

My training is as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and mindfulness facilitator. I have also done a great deal of training in the neurobiology of stress and distress, how anxiety, past trauma, overwhelm, neurodivergence and disconnection show up in our bodies, in our nervous systems and consequently in our emotional states, the way we perceive the world, and how we form relationships with others. 

Developing mindful skill, noticing and identifying feelings and body states, and learning how to alter and best respond to these with somatic/movement based, breathwork and mindfulness tools, can aid our well-being in profound ways.

We cannot change the past, or the world we live in, but we can become educated on how our brains, bodies and emotions respond, and take charge, compassionately, of how we respond to ourselves and others. Finding ways to shift out of states if distress, overwhelm and disconnection, and into feelings of calm and ease.

There is a huge body of evidence around mindful therapeutic interventions, as well as how we can alter our states of stress and distress using body and mindfulness based techniques.

There is likely more doing, and a bit less talking in this way of working, and this won't suit everyone.

For more detail of how I work please take a look at my website.

Practice description

Initially we will look at how life is for you, what your concerns are, how you manage on a day to day basis, what skills you already have to manage difficulty, your current relationships and how they function. Out of this exploration we will make a plan together of what areas you'd like to work on and what this will involve.

Sessions will include:

Breif explorations of:

How you're currently feeling.

What thoughts and beliefs are around for you.

How your general mental and emotional life is.

How you're experiencing these things in your body.

Over time and learning, we can incorporate how the above are framed with an understanding of your brain/nervous system state

Explorations of and learning around:

Mindfulness based interventions that work for you, these are personalised and neuroscience informed.

Breathing techniques that may be useful, also personalised/neuroscience informed.

Tapping/EFT and other somatic based work.

These will take up a large part of each session.

My hope is, you will gain skills, hacks, tool and understanding you can apply in daily life. This way of working is active, and involves you taking responsibility for applying and practicing learning in between sessions.

This way of working is collaborative, practical and empowering. You take what works from sessions and leave what doesn't, and build a map of understanding yourself and your needs and the tools that aid your well-being
