If we are to live in fullness we must come to know and accept all that we are, imperfect humans being. Coming to know and have compassion for ourselves allows us to grow and be spacious and adaptable to the stressors of our day to day. Struggling to find meaning, feeling stuck or disconnected from ourselves and other people for whatever the reasons, can be an isolating experience.

Therapeutic change comes from inviting in the stuff we shrink away from, that makes us feel uncomfortable or scared. It is the process of getting to know the so called good and bad bits of ourselves that enable us to be fully functioning, real people out in the world. Strangely, it is by becoming curious about why we are fearful, ashamed, depressed, addicted or angry that enables us to gain some control of patterns of behaviour that have been overwhelming. With this self-awareness we can begin to make responsible choices that work for us.

Drawing from a humanistic approach to counselling, I firmly trust that within a safe supportive relationship we can all come to appreciate how our beliefs about ourselves and the world can shape our current experiences. Through a process of discovery and gentle enquiry we may come to know new ways of thinking, feeling and being that could at first seem unfamiliar but more authentic and meaningful to us. Although centred within the field of ‘talking therapies’ I draw upon creative ways of working that offers you this embodied experience which can be the key to new perception and change. Mindfulness, visualisation, breath, sound and body work, trauma education and/or creative play may prove to be surprisingly important tools in supporting you through this chapter in your life. I offer a space for philosophical and spiritual enquiry.
