Whilst sessions can sometimes consist just of talking, I offer art tools and yoga ( somatic) interventions in line with the needs of the client. Art tools can assist the client to bring and explore their feelings when they are hard to access or to talk directly about. Yoga based interventions, that is breath work, somatic awareness, movement and mindfulness are offered to regulate a dsyregulated nervous system and support wellbeing. In my work, the relationship with the young person or adult is of paramount importance in allowing space to find authenticity and express whatever is being experienced in the safety of feeling it is heard without judgement.

Sessions are always guided by you as the client, your needs and finding the right pace and interventions for you.

I work to hear, listen, be curious, understand, truly empathise with and validate whatever is happening for the person I am working with. This is the foundation for allowing you to feel emotionally safe and able to explore and process your experience.

First sessions are about getting to know each other and building a relationship in which you feel safe to talk. Sometimes though it is hard to talk, hard to find the right words, or just too much to say out loud. Being offered tools which assist in the exploration of what is happening or has happened for you can make accessing therapy a gentler but deeper experience.

Somatic interventions which calm the nervous system can assist and support you during the journey or can be the support you need during periods of stress.

It is important to find the right counsellor for you so I offer a free 30 minute call or introductory session in person before you commit.
