Integrative Psychotherapy & Supervision with a Soulful Perspective
A soulful and relational approach to therapy is an interactive process where authentic engagement is central.
It's all about Relationship.....
Emerging evidence from clinical research suggests that it is the depth and quality of relationship (and not necessarily the type of therapy received) that repairs the wounds of childhood attachment difficulties. Relational therapy means that you are seen, heard and challenged to recognise deeper levels of self-reflection and ways relating with others.
I practise in a relationally oriented and clinically grounded way, offering both long term psychotherapy (6months and above) and time limited therapy (from 3 to 6 months).
Uncertainty is inherent to life...the only thing we know for certain is that life is uncertain. We live in troubling times of climate emergency and social unease and our inherent interconnectivity demands us to pay attention. The anxiety and stresses of everyday life, against this backdrop, can tip us into cycles of anger and despair encouraging us to became active, act out, or withdraw, act-in. Perhaps life requires both.
Delving deeper into the psychological and emotional patterns that emerge from childhood experience, for example, is a form of inner activism, as our early patterns effect our being in the world and our present relationships. Healing the wounds of childhood means forming a different way of relating to our childhood experiences in the here and now.
Changing our relationship with the past helps us to move differently into the future.
Individual trauma reflects the world trauma and vice versa. Psychotherapy offers a space to explore your place in the world.
Perhaps, you have identified a need for something to shift, or for you to shift in relation to the world.
Maybe you feel compelled to understand yourself at an even deeper level.
"Therapy is...a process that goes on intermittently in our individual soul-searching, our attempts at understanding our complexities, the critical attacks, prescriptions and encouragements we give ourselves..." James Hillman

“A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul. ”

My approach to therapy places relational engagement at the heart of long term change. I received core psychotherapy training at Re-Vision- this is based on an integrative relational model of depth psychology that draws on Jungian, Existential/Gestalt and Psychodynamic approaches.

This is a soulful, body aware, trauma-informed and creative approach to relating to our core struggles and everyday challenges. We can invite myths, images and dreams into the space, as they allow in a creative (right brain) and less verbal (left brain) means of connection.
