The Therapy Process

Through compassion, affirmation, and unconditional positive regard we build a relationship where you feel safe, heard and accepted. Within this safe space, you can explore traumatic experiences or difficulties in your life, along with associated thoughts and feelings. Talking therapy and being seen and heard enables you to soothe feelings of hurt, loss and confusion.

Using psychoeducation you develop understanding of how your body has developed triggering responses and grow in awareness of how your body and mind work together and influence your felt experiences.

​​Using creative approaches I enable you to explore your thoughts and feelings from the 3rd person. Using drawing, games, images, sand and stones, you develop skills in communicating and managing your feelings. You develop strategies in emotional self-regulation and further explore feared and hidden emotions. In the therapeutic space I support you with a deep congruent presence of my true self, being fully present and authentic in my care. As you work with deep emotions within the secure therapeutic relationship, you experience new physiological and affective relational experiences giving new meaning and initiating healing of internalised emotions.

You set goals and makes choices regarding the direction the therapy takes. I am open about empathic feelings I experience in response to you, giving you permission to be open about what you experience as you explore challenging thoughts and feelings.   
I intentionally affirm and validate you and your identified strengths and qualities along with the impact of your experiences. You are empowered to explore your self-beliefs, and grow in self-understanding of your attachment style and relational patterns. You reconnect with core values, and significant others, and make meaningful shifts to emotional well-being.
