I provide a peaceful space and skills for us to explore issues or symptoms that have led you to seek help. Psychosynthesis is a psychospiritual approach to uncover our world with depth and breadth. Like going on a journey, I guide and follow the client through the dark and difficult terrain, as well as to tranquil and inspiring places. Sessions provide opportunity to slow down and consider thought patterns, body sensations, feelings and the deeper sense of purpose and belonging in the world. It is a technique to acknowledge the multiple, seemingly contradictory parts of ourselves, getting them to work together into greater whole - like a conductor knowing all the different instruments and getting them to play together in harmony. This brings awareness to what is holding us back from the past, and what direction we really want our life to take. - The sessions are weekly mostly talking therapy, and also use imagination and the body as resources, through guided visualisations, mindfulness, body awareness and drawing. Psychosynthesis belongs to the Transpersonal/Humanistic school, and when called for includes other therapy modalities. Some of the issues I have worked with are: anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, living with disability, living with terminal illness, impact of childhood trauma, suicidal thoughts, concerns around addiction, struggles to connect to body or feelings, sexual identity and expression, existential and spiritual dilemmas, struggling to realise goals and ideals, or looking for purpose meaning and direction. - My background of 20 years experience as a Palliative Care Nurse has also helped me to listen and support with warmth, an open heart, calmness, humour and pragmatism.
