Counselling:
Counselling is generally a shorter-term approach and very helpful if you’d like support for a specific challenge in your life. This could be a life transition like a relationship change or a change at work; it could be a loss or maybe you are feeling stuck in a particular area in your life.
Counselling can help you to find some ground under your feet, increase your capacity to cope and develop solutions by providing a safe, supportive space that resources you. Inside that space we work together to help you access your own inner wisdom and guidance to help you navigate the challenge you are facing.
Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a longer-term approach if you are seeking relief from deeper, underlying patterns that are keeping you stuck in ways that no longer serve you. Traditionally Psychotherapy, also called ‘talking therapy, helps you understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they are linked at a deeper level with the intention to create change.
In mindful somatic psychotherapy the focus is less on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours -which you often already know- and instead we invite awareness on a deeper level. By including and exploring the experience of the body with some mindfulness we are able to gently access memories and experiences that are often outside of everyday consciousness, that have been long forgotten or that happened at a time when you didn’t have words yet. This process opens the door to deeper change and transformation.
Because the foundation of any deeper work is having a sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship this work is most effective if you are able to commit to regular sessions.
