An important part of my work is creating a warm, non-judgmental space to enable you to speak about whatever it is that’s important to you. We might look at one of a number of things throughout the therapy:
- How did you get here? What are the underlying causes and conditions of what is troubling you.
- Where would you like to go, and what prevents you from getting there?
- What are your relational patterns, how did they develop and what could you do to shift those that do not serve you any longer?
- Strength-building, what are your resources, in your body, your self, and around you, and how can we utilise these within the therapy and your life.
- Psychoeducation about any biological processes at work.
As well as this, I also draw on various other approaches, such as attachment, systemic theory and bio-psycho-social theories of trauma, which means that I am able to tailor my approach depending on the individual needs of my client. I am also trained to offer the trauma therapies Brainspotting and the Rewind Technique.
And finally:
- Sitting with you through grief and pain and anger and sadness and trauma and also joy and expansion and life and death and.. all of it, really; all the nuances and facets and complexities of the human experience.
