The human heart is the way to the soul (Hillman)
There are many reasons why people seek out therapy -
you may feel in crisis, lost and overwhelmed by life; you could be in a difficult life transition; perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed; or a painful life event that is making you feel isolated and alone. Or you could just feel that something is missing in your life and are yearning for something different.
I offer a safe, nurturing and confidential place for you to be listened to and responded too, helping to make sense and find a new perspective on your life.
One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice..and little by little there was a new voice, which you slowly recognised as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do, determined to save the only life you could save
(extracts from The Journey by Mary Oliver)
My approach
I use an Integrative Transpersonal approach, with Soul and relationship lying at its core.
Soul in this context is not a thing, but the qualities of depth, richness and
heart which makes ordinary life meaningful.
Through working with the imaginal, dreams, metaphors and symbols of the unconscious -
the silenced wounded places where soul making can be found - I support the client to retrieve these lost parts,
to re-remember their own unique story.
The holding and exploring of the relationship created between therapist and client is fundamental to this journey.
The integrative approach means I draw on many streams of psychotherapy, including Transpersonal, Psychodynamic, Jungian, Archetypal, Gestalt, Developmental
and Systemic
approaches.
Specific areas that I work with include:
Relationship
Anxiety/stress
Depression
Life Purpose
Life stage Transitions
Women's issues
Bereavement
Work crisis
Self Esteem
Stuckness and Blocks
Identity
