Facilitating change includes creating a safe space in which healing can take place. Creating a safe place, and being present, allows us to explore our thoughts and feelings as they arise, and helps to reveal patterns that have been in place, often for many years, often as an out-grown protection, and which may no longer be serving us well.

 

Therapies Used: I have been trained in a variety of counselling approaches, including Rogerian Person Centred Counselling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Hakomi, and I work through a trauma informed lens.

I hope to facilitate change by walking alongside those who come to see me, by ‘meeting disquiet with quiet’. I acknowledge the inherent unbrokenness which we essentially are, ‘the quiet’, and I invite the ‘disquiet’, the unacknowledged parts, the disowned feelings, the avoidance strategies, the pain and hurt, to be known and to be allowed. And in this recognition, is the healing.

In our wholeness, we are more authentically ourselves, and we live our lives more fully and with less restraint.
