I am currently looking for supervisees, please refer to my website. At the heart of my approach is relationship-real, human, and alive. We work together; with curiosity and depth, humour and patience. I am an integrative counsellor with Internal Family Systems as my main approach. IFS sessions are collaborative and client led. I support you to build a relationship with your inner system and help you get to know the parts of you that protect, parts that carry pain or feel sad, and parts that hide this away. I believe that within every individual is an innate wisdom that cannot be damaged or broken- a core Self.
I am also trained in Deep Brain Reorienting; like IFS, it is a transformational rather than counteractive therapy. It helps clients process the trauma at a physiological level- clearing shock from the body and the mid brain's response. It's collaborative, non- invasive, and does not require retelling in detail. This can lead to noticeable, embodied shifts.
We do things carefully and take our time. A new perspective can emerge, a change in the capacity for a sense of well being. I respond to all potential clients, whether or not you have had adverse childhood experiences. I will take you seriously, how you want to work, and with what. I welcome all; the high achievers, the "outsiders", or the marginalised.
Take the first step to help. Billie-Jude Thorpe now
