Drawing from a humanistic approach to counselling, I firmly trust that within a safe supportive relationship we can all come to appreciate how our beliefs about ourselves and the world can shape our current experiences. Through a process of discovery and gentle enquiry we may come to know new ways of thinking, feeling and being that could at first seem unfamiliar but more authentic and meaningful to us.
I offer frameworks, perspectives and lenses by which you can orientate yourself when feelings and thoughts might be overwhelming. Here, understanding the neuropsychology of our brain's functioning when stressed can readily support you to better manage experiences that might feel irrational, confusing and frightening as well as frustrating.
Although centred within the field of ‘talking therapies’ I draw upon creative ways of working that offers you this embodied experience which can be the key to new perception and change.
Mindfulness, visualisation, breath, sound and body work, trauma education and/or creative play may prove to be surprisingly important tools in supporting you through this chapter in your life.
Using a philosophical and spiritual framework to explore and contemplate our purpose, meaning and place in the world may give us a big picture perspective when examining the details of our lives.
