To our true being and potential - and our Love.
Personal Counselling
In each counselling session a safe and confidential space is created for the therapeutic process. It is a team approach, with the focus on your experience and choice about what inner and outer changes you wish to make.
Each session usually includes a conversation and an experiential phase, which includes making connections with your unique experiences, resources, beliefs, support systems and any other influences that may have an effect in your life.
The counselling process allows each person the freedom to make choices and be in charge of their process, and to express in ways that are effective for them in the context of their life in relationship with Self, others and the world.
My background includes training in a range of approaches - Anthroposophically based Philophonetics- counselling & psychotherapy (now called Psychophonetics - click more info) - is an expression and artistic therapy developed from the spiritual work of Rudolf Steiner in Psychosophy; plus Adlerian Psychology & Parent Education; Biography and Couple Therapy.
The process is respectful and encouraging of each person's experience and knowing, including an holistic approach that embraces body, soul and spirit. It is a creative and expressive journey of learning, understanding, healing and transforming which is also skills oriented and educational.
The range of tools include Conversation, Body Awareness, Movement/Gesture,
Visualisation & Sound therapy
Drawing, clay and nature are also used as needed. With each person choosing what he/she wants to do, we can work together to find the unique, creative and experiential skills that connects each person with their own knowing, strength, resources and potential.
Each person can become empowered with these self- management skills to support effective and sustainable changes in their life.
It is a safe and effective therapy for people of all ages, as a way of exploring, expressing and healing feelings, conflicts and relationships.
