Psychotherapy
Transcendence- how we can move from struggle to empowerment
We seek therapy for a number of reasons - at times due to a specific experience and at other times because we feel that there are patterns that we would like to address and / or change
Whatever the reason, the process of talking through our feelings and thoughts, in a safe, non-judgemental space, can, in itself, be healing and can propel or create change
You might feel lost in life, stuck, powerless, unable to function in the world without a mask, endlessly comparing yourself to those around you and never feeling or believing that you are enough or have enough
You may have experienced a loss, are unable to find a purpose in life; you may feel that you lack in confidence and self-esteem; believe that you need a crutch to help you through your day (whether that be smoking, drinking, shopping or any other activity which increases the loneliness and separateness that you may experience); you may perceive yourself as being stuck because of a trauma that you have experienced and are unable to move through; you may believe you are broken
All of these are human experiences and we can explore the feelings and thoughts that we create around them
It is possible to heal, to grow and to have each challenge in life become a step towards empowerment
You are not alone – healing through connection
We can perceive that we have to manage everything on our own
By reaching out and through connection, we can move towards seeing ourselves, our experiences and our lives differently
I truly wish this for you and would be honoured to support you on your journey towards healing and becoming your own oracle
My approach and therapeutic methods
My therapeutic method is Transpersonal though I use a combination of perspectives which includes Family Systems Theory, Person Centred, Gestalt and Psychodynamic orientations
I have trained in the Flash Technique and in EMDR
I have completed training as a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist
I may discuss using shamanic healing, if it would be appropriate to
I work with the bereavement team at Hampshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to provide support for individuals and families who have experienced infant loss (for stillbirth, miscarriage, neonatal loss, ectopic pregnancy and compassionate induction / termination of pregnancy)
