What brings you to therapy?

There is no 'problem' too big or too small for us to work together. My belief is that human existence is tough. It brings its own hardships no matter what circumstances we are born in to. The process of living through our own experience on our own is difficult, and to travel through on our own, without another humans support and guidance can be difficult.

In session together it is my role to empower you to be the specialist of your inner world and system. My intention is to enable and support you to be able to live your life in a way that is more true to who you really are. To do this, sessions will centre around healing the emotional injuries that have resulted from unprocessed past experiences.

How do we do this? I am trained in a variety of different psychotherapeutic modalities, yet Internal Family Systems (IFS) will be at the heart of our time together. We will talk through who you are, you hopes, beliefs and how it has been growing up as the individual that you are. Talk therapy is a big part of how we begin working together, and as time goes on I will introduce you to meeting with your parts through guided meditation or mapping your system of parts together. the vital tools to come from a place of compassion that in turn supported a deeper healing process with the past. In doing this it helps living in the present feel less like a task or chore. Having a relationship with our inner world is how we truly navigate through existence and I greatly have faith in the healing powers of IFS.

I am curious to the patters folks find themselves in. Together we will make a change for your system by processing some of your life history and hurts by using vital tools of regulation that I know are within you (and us all).

Examples of what might bring someone for sessions...

Everyone goes through something in life that harms us psychologically. Yet what you have experienced is also totally unique to you. This can make pushing through quite tricky because although we live in a world that is more accepting of issues, and talking things through, it also doesn't mean your inner world gets better and changes.

Maybe you're going through a rough patch…Something that’s major or maybe something that seems small but it is leading you to big feelings and emotions. You could be finding yourself repeating patterns, either inside yourself through thoughts or behaviours that feel obsessive, or outside with how you experience family, partners and/or friends. Here are some protectors that I can help with:

Anxiety, Lowness, Anger: smouldering resentment, the explosive kind, intrusive thoughts, bad dreams, troubles with addiction, perfectionism holding you back, procrastination, critical of looks, self, children or partner, judgemental of others, fantasies, obsessions, thinking instead of feeling, eating issues such as binging, purging, restricting, calorie counting. Or maybe you're feeling nothing at all... lack of vigour, adrift, unsettled, disinterested, sleepy, bored with life.

Did you know that parts have influence over our bodies? Fatigue, tension, body aches, stomach pains, digestive issues, headaches, brain fog, nausea, hypersensitivity, chest pain, jitters (to name a few).

I could go on, because the potential for protectors are endless and there is space for them all in sessions!
