I qualified as a Humanistic and integrative therapist in 1998 and now have 28 years of experience. I have worked with people experiencing the impact of sexual abuse trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and relationship difficulties.
Loss is at the core if every emotional wound and the therapeutic process supports the grieving and ultimate renewal of new life/energy for the person. I believe that each person has within themselves the ability to heal from the traumas and hurts they have experienced. Enabling the person to become more truly themselves, as they accept and integrate all parts of themselves.
This is a challenging journey and I see my role as a therapist to support the client’s personal development by my open, non judgemental presence and deep listening and reflecting. Thereby developing trust and a safe place in the therapeutic relationship.
I believe in the real benefits of mindfulness and meditation practices, which I use in my own life and support clients to use if they are interested.
