About me

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!

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.

Here @Internal Family Systems ~ I am working from a heart centred place.

(I am also neurodivergent, with dyslexic tendancies).

Before

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, enables me to hold space for any therapy session I am offering.

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

I have a set of Guides I work with- known collectively as the 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.
