Psychotherapy
How I work
Psychotherapy is sometimes called 'talking therapy ', and whereas talking is a part of all psychotherapy, some modalities focus more on other aspects of communication, such as the body.
I am trained in three modalities that utilise the body, as well as thoughts and emotions, as a source of information. .
These can be used as a stand-alone treatment or integrated to help facilitate exploration and healing
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a therapeutic modality for trauma and attachment issues. SP welcomes the body as an integral source of information which can guide resourcing and the accessing and processing of challenging, traumatic, and developmental experiences. SP is a holistic approach that includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive processing and integration.

Internal Family Systems
IFS views us all as having 'parts' of ourselves that combine to make a 'system' and that we also have a core 'Self'. When we have experienced difficult life events, we may find that our lives are more led by some parts of ourselves than others. (Parts that drink, avoid intimacy, strive for perfection, etc).
The aim within IFS is to help restore our 'Core Self' as the leader of our internal world.

EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a therapy used to help people recover from traumatic events and the ongoing symptoms that may stem from them. This could include avoidance, flashbacks, upsetting thoughts or images, depression or anxiety.

Psychedelic Focused Therapy
Integration is the process by which we synthesise the mind and body following the experience of a non-ordinary state of consciousness prompted by the ingestion of a psychoactive substance. Integration-focused therapy is a space in which to explore, unpack and begin to make sense of psychedelic experiences.
