MY SPECIALISMS
What we experience as children impacts on our behavior as adults. This manifests differently in all of us. I offer psychological specialisms to support clients in the way that serves them best.
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING (SE)
SE is a therapy which holds the body at the centre of the healing process. The brain explains and analyses trauma while the traumatic pain is held in the cells of the body. We can tell our story and yet still feel its anguish. Through breathwork, visualisation and mindful presencing, the body is encouraged to release its emotional pain.
Mindful reconnection with the body enables the processing of trauma by resetting the nervous system.
CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnotherapy creates access to the subconscious, the storehouse of our brilliance, personal wisdom and creative capacity. Often we instinctively know what we want to do but still cannot do it. Doubt, fear and shame interrupt our capacity to live fully. This unique visualisation process stills our racing mind while keeping a conscious awareness. It is a profoundly healing experience which clears a pathway to emotional renewal.
Deep meditation and visualisation invites access to the subconscious and the personal wisdom that has been long suppressed.
FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
A Constellation connects us with inherited family trauma. When we feel stuck in our lives it is often because we are carrying pain from our parents or grandparents which is not ours to carry. By accessing our energetic field we can trace the origins of our pain and rebalance our family system. We can put down inherited patterns of behaviour.
Working with our energetic field allows connection to our family system and our ancestral heritage to clear old, recurrent behavioural patterns.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) reduces the ‘alive’ quality of traumatic memory. Guided bilateral eye movement activates the neural pathways to peaceful resolution of distressing memory,
A structured eye movement process facilitates recovery from long-held traumatic memories.
