I am passionate and committed to my own personal development and growth, and helping others in theirs.
All the modalities that I use with my clients I use for myself so I have first-hand and embodied experience of them working for me. Helping me to release, accept or heal what ever was necessary for my personal development and healing. One of the biggest healings for me was coming to terms with infertility. I went from feeling that my life didn't have any meaning and was pointless without children, and at one point feeling suicidal, to feeling that not having children was the best thing that never happened to me. Its wasn't a quick journey (10 years) and it wasn't easy, but I also wouldn't change it. I learnt a lot about myself and healed many of my own wounds on the way. I was lucky that I found Family Constellation Therapy part-way through this stage in my life and it became the main modality that I used to heal ancestral trauma, childhood wounds and to make peace with not having my own children and I now have a life that I love.
Since training in family constellations I have also trained in Somatic mindfulness, Energy Psychotherapy and Psycho-spiritual Shamanic Practice. I love working with all of these modalities too.
I have experienced rapid healing with these methods myself. I've also seen rapid changes with my clients that would have taken years to achieve with traditional 'talking therapy'.
I believe that a good therapist is someone that is committed to their own personal development and is willing to do the healing on themselves in order to help facilitate growth in their clients. As a therapist, I believe, you can only take your clients as far as you have journeyed yourself. And I've journeyed far and wide!
