I run an Integrated therapy and personal consultancy practice in London. My expertise is in working with a range of issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, self confidence, self esteem, work related stress, lack of motivation, relationships and trauma through both short-term and long-term interventions.
My input is always client led with a particular importance placed on creating a trusting relationship as a key to a successful outcome.
I offer a warm and emphatic practice which is based on a belief that we all have the ability to overcome many and varied life challenges that come our way but that those resources may have been hidden under the burden of traumatic, abusive or simply not good-enough relationships that come to shape us and how we relate to the world around us.
Attachment-based practice rests on the well-established, trusted and effective psychodynamic theory, providing a framework for understanding how early relationships shape us into the adults we become.
This personalised process can provide an opportunity for you
~ to take stock of your personal and professional life
~ to focus on and explore your own needs & ambitions
~ to come to understand issues that may be impacting your thinking & decision-making processes
~to challenge self-limiting beliefs and practices, including lack of ambition and drive
~ to find ways of fulfilling your potential
~ to understand your life's purpose and goals
~ to find new ways of seeing and understanding your life.
Metaphorically speaking, adjusting your sail to help get you to your desired destination of
a more satisfied and fulfilled life.
Talking is often main way of expression of emotion and thought but the understanding and
the process of awareness and healing is often enhanced by use of other techniques such as
SSP
(Safe and Sound Protocol)
Sand-tray therapy
Art therapies
- drawing, painting, poetry, drama, music, movement
Polyvagal Therapy
Internal Family Systems
Mindfulness and CBT
The
Walk-and-Talk therapy
is also a common option for individuals who find it easier to be
on the move and in that way access their thoughts and feelings.
(this is always and only if i believe that to be the best practice and in client's best interest)
Someone said that
"we can't change the direction of the wind but we can adjust our sail to help us reach our destination''
This insightful observation has inspired the way I approach the therapeutic work I do in my practice. The prevailing influences in our lives may be bringing us a lot of challenges
as we journey along but we can call upon and enhance the skills we already have to adjust the direction of movement and give our life direction, purpose and joy that may be alluding us.
