Counselling
Counselling is done in a comfortable and relaxing environment and is strictly confidential. I use a broad range of culturally sensitive practices that help you improve your wellbeing, alleviate stress and maladjustment, resolve crisis, and increase the ability to function better in your life. I will help you to explore many aspects of your life and feelings by talking openly and freely. I use a variety of counselling methods including Gestalt Therapy, Solutions-focussed Therapy, Emotionally-focussed Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy. The period of Counselling is usually short term, 6 to 12 weeks. Counselling can be done one-to-one or in pairs/couples counselling and a typical session usually takes one hour to 1 1/2hr.
Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Transpersonal Psychotherapy integrates the spiritual and transcendent aspect of the human experience with modern psychotherapy. The issues considered in TP include spiritual self-development, self beyond the ego, mystical experiences, spiritual crisis, spiritual evolution, altered states of consciousness. It draws upon ancient mystical knowledge that comes from multiple traditions. I attempt to interpret timeless wisdom with modern western psychology. TP addresses the full spectrum of human psycho-spiritual development, from our deepest wounds and needs, to the existential crisis of the human being, to the most transcendent capacities of our consciousness.
Dream Analysis
Swiss Psychiatrist Karl Jung believed that dreams are a way for the unconscious mind to communicate with the conscious mind. He also believed that dreams are symbolic and can have multiple meanings. To the dreamwork, it is important to keep an open mind and look at dreams from a different perspective. Dreams help us to discover our archetypes that are expression of our deeper unconscious patterns of instinctual meaning and wisdom. The dream images help us to connect with the primal energies of the psyche. Dreams can also be prophetic and in exploring your dreams you can learn more about yourself and what is going on in your life.
Sand Play
Sandplay is the powerful and playful technnique of creating a sandscape with symbolic objects to represent our 'imaginal' inner world. The symbols begin to express the language of our unconscious as our inner meanings are projected onto them. We then can interact with various aspects of our inner world to support emotional healing & personal development. Sandplay is particularly effective in helping children to express and heal emotional conflict.
Voice Dialogue
Our psyche is made up of many 'voices' or 'personalities' such as the saboteur, the inner critic, the judge, the victim and so on. Some of these voices represent disowned parts of ourselves that remain hidden in the subconscious but have a powerful influence over our behaviour. Voice Dialogue is a gentle and profound process that brings us into conscious relationship with these different voices so that we can express and integrate them, in order to realise our full potential.
Internal Family Systems
The goal of Internal Family Systems (IFS) is to access the compassionate, unifying perspective of the Self in order to identify, befriend and integrate the many competing sub-personalities or ‘families’ within a person’s psyche.
These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions (anger, shame, guilt, regret, betrayal, grief, self-loathing, self-righteousness), as well as parts that try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. These sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with the Self.
​By taking time to identify and witness this inner conflict we can make peace with our competing parts. The result is internal re-unification, integrity, clarity, self-acceptance, confidence, peace of mind.
