My counselling work is primarily influenced by the principles of psychosynthesis. Often referred to as a 'psychology with a soul', psychosynthesis embraces the whole person: mind, body, feelings and spirit. It places emphasis on the fact that each one of us has the wisdom within ourselves to find the answers to our questions. Psychosynthesis is not a religion and does not impose any form of doctrine or belief system.
How does it work in practice?
My role is not to give advice but to help you gain more clarity around the issues you present and become more aware of your choices. Through listening carefully and reflecting back to you what I see, hear and feel, you can begin to reflect on your own thoughts, feelings and experiences - on where you come from, who you are, and who you may become.
I bring a creative approach to my work with clients. In addition to traditional talking therapy, I may also suggest other techniques and exercises such as drawing, writing, physical expression, guided imagery and dream work. This depends on what you bring to the session and what you feel comfortable with. You will always be offered a choice before trying any technique or exercise.
