Therapy
My Approach
My therapeutic system has been tried and tested with a wide range of clients from all kinds of backgrounds and with many different needs.
It is based on three fundamental pillars.
Exploration
Exploring how we really think and feel about ourselves can really change things in ways we never expected.
All our work together will take place in a safe and non-judgemental space where any issues can be examined in-depth and with compassion. You are the expert on you, and together we’ll try and make the connections and insights that will empower you to start the growth you wish to see in your life. Whatever that looks like.
Integration
Negative thoughts and feelings can paralyse us, get us to act in ways that damage our lives or relationships, or just make us feel awful about ourselves. The more we fight them the more powerful they seem to get.
Through the study of counselling, neuroscience and the mind-body relationship along with ten years practice in the field of mindfulness and meditation, I have developed a unique system designed to understand and integrate negative thoughts and emotions rather than trying (and failing) to push them away.
Together, from a place of comfort and relaxation, we’ll enquire what these troublesome feelings want, helping you understand them and most importantly diminishing the suffering they can cause.
Meditation
I am a fully qualified mindfulness and meditation teacher proficient in teaching the four main schools of meditation. Meditation isn’t a religious practice or the product of the yoga studio. It’s an effective brain training tool that science is busy proving can provide stability, calm and peace; revealing our strong intuitive Self beneath all the thinking.
My clients receive full training in meditation and support while building their own meditation practice. I’ll work with you to find the technique that works best for you and we’ll work together to build it into your schedule to support your therapeutic goals. Building a consistent practice to rest and work on your mind is one of the most beneficial things you can ever do. I will be here to help you every step of the way.
