Counselling
Counselling is usually short term and deals with specific issues which are happening in a person's life at that moment in time.  It could be for example: relationship difficulties, divorce, bereavement, redundancy, anxiety issues.

Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is usually longer term and leads to a deeper self examination.  A person may have hit a crossroads in their life and not knowing which way to turn begin to question who they are, what they are doing and look for new meaning in their life and new ways to light their path.

Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Transpersonal Psychotherapy goes beyond the personal.  It embraces the concept that an individual has a central core which is seeking to express itself, to become fully known.  It takes into consideration the connectedness of all things, the meaning of life and spiritual beliefs. When a person is off-balance or uncomfortable within themselves, the transpersonal sees this as the unconscious trying to bring into awareness new learning, new possibilities, new healing - a new level of consciousness.

Coaching
I also use my skills to provide coaching which is a method of helping a person re-connect with themselves to unlock their potential to maximise their performance and achieve their goals - be it at work, at home or in a specific life situation.  It can also involve helping the person reveal hidden skills such as the art of negotiation.

You and Ways of Working
Feelings, Thoughts, Behaviours, Choices - we connect our feelings with our thoughts and behave accordingly.  Feelings are potent.  They can lead to impulsive action.  Self awareness can lead to more varied and wiser choices, a greater sense of personal fulfilment and wellbeing.  Together we can explored feelings, thoughts, behaviours and their connections to your choices - to become who you are meant to be and get the life you want.

Ways of Working - I work integratively which means I use a fusion of transpersonal therapies and others to enable a fuller picture of the person to unfold.  The sessions work with the person's process rather than fitting the person into a particular theory.  So as well as talking, I work with body awareness (body language), body symptoms, (illnesses, unexplained pains), breath-work, meditation, dreams, creative visualisation, drama, drawing and others. I listen to what the person is saying and to the silences.  I honour the person's pace and work with them to find the ways which they find most helpful.

Workshops - I also run workshops on Assertiveness, Colour Me Happy (Art), Creativity, Inner-Child, and others.  I 'tailor-make' workshops for groups as required.
