Work with me 1 -1

I offer different ways of working with me 1-1 depending on your need, desire, and readiness.

Please explore the options below to see what suits you.

Holistic Counselling 🗝

This is for people stepping onto the path for change, and who desire more direct guidance, teaching and support.

This work is about giving you the tools to rebalance your mood and grow awareness, to shift your perspective and untether yourself from unhelpful habits, behaviours, ideas and stories.

This work may include cognitive, behavioural, somatic, breath, and energy based practices, and symbolic work (dreams, imagination, tarot). You’ll be encouraged to practice observance and mindful contemplation to grow awareness.

You’ll be guided to clear old hurts and traumas, reinterpret and rewrite your story, and choose your actions more consciously, for greater connection and meaning. If appropriate, I might suggest we weave these sessions with Deep Brain Reorienting sessions.

Think of holistic counselling as an alchemical process for observing, getting to know yourself and your world, and experimenting with new ways of being and doing.

Deep Brain Reorienting ↝

This is a highly specialised process for working with trauma. This is not a narrative or embodied therapy but a mechanism for healing trauma, at the deep brain level where initial shock experiences often keep people reactive or hyper-vigilant, and stuck in a trauma loop.

It works precisely with neuroanatomy of the brain stem to clear away what’s been stuck and allow the natural flow of responsivity to return to your mind-body system. It is steady, gentle and often promotes a shift in the way you see yourself and the world.

Deep brain reorienting can be for specific events or situation related trauma (PTSD or complex PTSD) or attachment trauma which might not be connected to a specific memory, and instead experienced as a general or vague sense of aloneness, shame, fear or anger, and /or chronic relationship issues.

Deep brain reorienting might also be appropriate for those who have done a lot of narrative work and have deep self awareness but continue to feel “stuck”.

If you wish you can read more about Deep Brain Reorienting as a trauma psychotherapy and its developer Dr Frank Corrigan.

Soul Work ꩜

These sessions are collaborative and intuitively guided and observant of the symbolic and sacred present in life.

You’ll be expected to have a capacity for self reflection, and embodied resilience, as I’ll be encouraging you to delve deeper.

I’ll guide you to observe your experiences, symptoms and challenges with curiosity, and imagination, so you can navigate difficulty, uncertainty, and times of change and transition in new and creative ways.

You’ll be encouraged to delve deeper through the alchemy of dialogue, story, sound, movement, body work, energy work, ancestral connections, shadow and dream work, imagination, art, meditation and trance, and tailored self-study.

Mentoring ✛

This is for clinicians, therapists, healers or anyone wanting to bring more authenticity, soul, truth and leadership into your work, community, and environment.

I’ll encourage you to step into greater authority by helping you recognise, access, and use your gifts and talents for the benefit of yourself and others.

You will be given project work to attend to between sessions.

Tarology ☾

Like dreams, the images, symbols, and scenes of the tarot can reveal secrets that help unlock a new depth of awareness, and open you up to life’s mysteries.

In these sessions, you, me and the cards will be in dialogue.

Speaking and responding to the card images and symbolism can evoke emotions, ideas and somatic responses that help you access new insights, creative solutions, and open up conversations that might not happen otherwise.

We’ll use the cards as a doorway into your unconscious material, for personal and transpersonal growth.

While Tarology - tarot psychotherapy - sessions are essentially a collaborative dialogue, I’ll also support and guide you by incorporating relevant and helpful knowledge and wisdom from my psycho-spiritual and therapeutic archive.
