Thinking about going to therapy can feel humiliating. You might think that you are failing, or not good enough because you need help. You might have internalised that therapy is only for those who are weak or mad, and you know you are not any of those things. Therapy is not a corrective method for what is wrong in someone: it is a journey of transformation, like an adventure, but an internal journey. It takes courage to ask for help and embark on it because it has challenges, but also rewards. Therapy is for the brave ones who decide to leave their past behind, and are ready to change their lives.
My work is informed by recent research in neuroscience, trauma studies, and energy psychology. I offer an approach that combines "unblending" with internal parts, self-regulation techniques, grounding tools, guided imagery journeys, and energy tools that work with acupoint meridian tapping and chakra clearing methods to effect positive change.
Choosing the right therapist is important, which is why I offer a free 15 minute call, and a paid initial assessment session. If you're happy with my work, you will receive an agreement with the practicalities of therapy. This is essential to make sure that you know where you stand with me and so that your "sabotaging parts" don't interfere with the work.

Dance Your Life

Alda runs therapeutic dance events for your self-development journey. It is not therapy, but it can have therapeutic effects. If you are not sure about seeing a therapist, but you know that you need help, this could be a good place to start. It can also help if you would like to work on yourself, but you can't afford the usual counselling fees. More info in www.danceyourlife.co.uk.
