Areas of Intervention

Relationships

the soul is never sick alone
Martin Buber

We exist in our relationships. How we are treated and what others and our environment reflects back to us, has an impact on our self concept and wellbeing.
Book a session to bring into your awareness how you relate to others and how others are impacting you. The problem is never in people it is rather in relationships and among people.

treatment is how we treat each other
R.D. Laing

Grief & Loss

Life is full of hardship, difficulties, setbacks and loss. Someone is grieving alone because they have been told to get over it. Grief is an extension of love, the bigger the love the deeper the grief.

give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break
William Shakespeare

Anxiety

People may come with a diagnosis to therapy. Through the diagnosis many people may feel objectified. Influenced by my Gestalt training I adopted a non-pathologising approach in my work.

I am willing to listen to presenting symptoms such as anxiety, depression or panic attacks not as disorders, rather as silenced truths which were perfectly understandable adjustments for survival.

Trauma

Trauma can break into our life as a shocking disorganising event and as a painful situation in which we are stuck, with the inability to get ourselves out. Any event we would not choose for ourselves can also become a traumatic experience.

Once we are engulfed in our traumas, trauma needs witnessing; someone needs to listen to our stories until we can integrate them. Trauma is not precisely what has happened to us. The inability to speak about our traumas and the absence of human understanding and validating contexts makes our experiences lastingly traumatic as they become frozen in space and time.

Parenting Consultation

For many years I have been offering support to parents and caregivers to connect and build relationship with their youngsters. Young people and children often show their distress in their behaviours and when they are giving us a hard time, they often themselves are having a hard time.

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit

Depression

Throughout our life, when we are faced with repeated disappointments, losses, and difficult life transitions, depression may seem the only mood that makes sense, and we may become entangled in it. Attending therapy and discussing the situations help illuminate complex life difficulties that can help alleviate the symptoms.
