Transforming Touch Therapy
Early trauma tends to lodge in the body, in the muscles and organs and especially in connective tissues.
Art Psychotherapy
Art Psychotherapy gives the opportunity for expression from a level deeper than words. The image provides a bridge to the unconscious.
Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills
There is always hope. We can be reconciled with and befriend the parts of ourselves that we have separated from.
My approach and philosophy…
To experience low self-esteem, self-consciousness, shyness, and self-rejection is to suffer. The root of low self-esteem is having feelings that you do not like, do not understand and having the belief that something is wrong with you.
I work to support growth through development of self-understanding. This process makes space for the arising of compassion, thereby decreasing critical self-judgements. I work to support connection to wisdom in the body. It is a natural, organic, client-led process.
