Psychotherapy

 Psychotherapy is a collaboration that allows space for growth.

A session offers a space for you to safely explore whatever is there to be explored or understood.  Sessions are confidential and there is no expectation or judgment to allow a natural process to unfold. I will listen and support you to communicate your feelings in a way that is comfortable for you. We may use props that promote a movement dialogue, creative and or verbal ways of relating. I believe that trust, compassion and an integration of body and mind enables long lasting healing. Creating space around emotions to observe and let them pass with more ease. Together we will explore key issues and create a plan bespoke to you.

Therapeutic work may be short-term or over a longer period of time. I offer sessions in person or on secure online platform. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am the right therapist for you.

I work within an integrative model with the view that there is no single approach to suit all. Theory and practices are informed by dance movement psychotherapy, psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal, solution focused and creative approaches. This means I listen holistically with you to understand your reality, explore how the past has an impact on your present mind, body, soul and help you to build strategies forward so that you feel empowered. I believe that you have the wisdom within yourself to flourish.

Clinical Supervision

I offer a supportive and creative space to process and work with the challenges of clinical work and private practice. My approach is pluralistic so that I can adapt my approach based on your supervisory needs. I work with various theories and models such as the 7 eyed approach, embodied and creative approaches, developmental and cyclical models.

I hold a Counselling Supervision certificate with COSCA and have additional Clinical Supervision training with Place2Be who are certified by BACP and Cross Reach who are certified by COSCA.
