About me and my therapy practice
My training was in Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy and I draw upon numerous modalities with clients.
Foundation training: Minster Centre, completed in 2012.
Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy: Centre for Counselling completed in 2018.
Membership: Registered Member, British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Clients bring a variety of presenting issues like depression, anxiety, and grief. They also bring issues related to anger, passivity or trust. They often feel their lives lack meaning or they find themselves lost and need some time and space to re-orientate.
I try to cultivate a warm and empathetic ‘Humanistic’ way of working informed by ‘Psychodynamic’ and 'Transpersonal' principles. This allows for clients less conscious material to play out in our work together, highlighting patterns of behaviour and allowing for change.
Practice description
In order to develop and grow we are often challenged in matters of the mind and heart and sometimes these experiences are too overwhelming to face alone.
I offer a regular creative space to safely explore and engage with these issues, a place to help contain, understand and change.
Many of my clients are tipped into therapy because of a relationship breakdown or challenge as this can be a major catalyst for change. Other longer-term clients are struggling with a path into mid-life and have reached a stage where they can no longer put off changes they somehow know are destined to come.
Sessions will usually gravitate between exploring historical features alongside current issues and 'in the room' interaction.
The aim being to build a strong therapeutic relationship in order to engage with unconscious and spiritual material. Essentially a mixture of psychodynamic and transpersonal (but not limited to these models).
