Lois Peachey

I am an integrative BACP Accredited counsellor with nearly 20 years’ experience.  I work with adults on an indvidual basis and offer face-to-face work in Norwich on Tuesdays and Thursdays with daytime and evening appointments and on Mondays and Wednesdays I work online.

You can approach me to work across a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression bereavement and other losses.  My work is underpinned by a belief that we all have an inherent drive towards growth and healing but sometimes we need help in finding our way. 

I also have two areas of specialism:

Firstly, working with trauma in a body-focussed way.  We know that the memories and impact of trauma are held in the body and just talking about past experiences is not usually sufficient.  I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, both of which seek to help the body become less easily activiated and process traumatic memory in a safe and controlled way.

Secondly, working with Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).  Gender diversity includes people who are intersex as well as transgender identities such as trans-man or trans-woman or others connected with a less binary sense of gender.  This might include but not be limited to non-binary, gender queer, gender non-comforming.  Sexual diversity refers to both sexual orientation such as lesbian, gay, bisexual and other aspects of sexuality, such as being asexual or expressions of sexuality like kink and BDSM.  Relationship diversity refers to the range of relationships from monogomous couples to consensual non-monogomy such as polyamory and open relationships.

Contact me by phone or e-mail and I will respond at the first opportunity. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you need.

I am an Accredited Integrative Therapist with nearly 20 years' experience of working in private practice and organisational settings.  My supervision training was with the London Gestalt Centre and I work with supervisees who are in training, newly qualified and with several years' practice.  My two areas of specialism are:

Working with trauma in a body focussed way and am trained in both Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. 

GSRD - Gender, sexual and relationship diversity - a term that I believe is more encompassing than the traditional LGBTQI++.  I work with transgender including non-binary identities.
