Here I am saying, Hello again!

About me –

How do I work?

I work in an informal, friendly, but professional manner, I work at your pace, not too fast, not too slow, just right!

One of my Drums.

I have been working these last 25 years as a Trauma Counsellor (and energy healer for 20 years).

In my Counselling/Psychotherapy my training was dedicated to helping me understand the affects of Trauma and how to work with it.

The trainings that landed and I loved working with are – the psycho-spiritual model, Internal Family Systems I have Level 1 & 2 training starting in 2018 to present time.

Not forgetting, Polyvagal Theory, Sensori-motor Psychotherapy & Becoming Safely Embodied with Deirdre Fay. My original training was Psychodyamic Counselling. This work is ending soon as I am retiring from offering specific IFS & Counselling sessions.

The following information is from the Iset school of holistic health webiste -“Iset Energy Healing: is a Download of the Living Light.

Iset Energy Healing is the name of the spiritual healing modality that works with the highest frequencies of the Living Light (Divine consciousness). The energy embodies high vibrations of Divine consciousness that aims to heal us at soul level and bring us into alignment with our life’s purpose. The issues we face in our life form part of the eternal journey of the soul, through space and time. The energy healing invites us to open the doors of our heart to our inner knowing and authentic Self and embrace the soul’s journey.

Before this

Before my Counselling training, I worked as a project worker within the Voluntary sector, with different socially disadvantaged groups such as homeless people, one parent families and as a drugs worker.

I did my Counselling training during my Project work employment, as I was listening to peoples stories, but I had a skills gap and how to take these stories forward.

Before that

I completed an MA, my Degree as a single patrent mature student. No mean feet for this dyslexic mystic.

And before that

I was a General Nurse RGN for several years.

My energy healing training began just after I completed my first Counselling Course, 2003, I began Training in Spiritual Healing which then led to Reiki.

That seems like a lot of background!

This extensive background of training and experience. Alongside my Spirituality enables me to hold space for any energy healing session I am offering.

I work intuitively. I work from my Heart space, bringing presence.

Alongside my Guides- The Cosmic Shamanicans, I work also work somatically, with the body, and with the parts of us, who turn up looking for help.

I meditate regularly, and have been practicing this art for at least 30 years, leading small groups and as an individual.

I also work Creatively- it’s one of my super powers. I wonder what your super powers are?

Get in touch if any of this speaks to you.

Namaste
