Does it feel like you are constantly performing? I work with high-functioning adults who look successful on the outside but feel entirely overwhelmed by chronic stress. My clients usually seek online therapy because they are facing severe burnout, feeling emotionally stuck, and struggling to disconnect from a constant sense of internal pressure.

With over two decades helping clients overcome life's challenges, I have cultivated compassion and wisdom through time. My career within a transpersonal frame has focused on creating a safe space for those seeking support, using action methods and expressive therapies to facilitate insight, empowerment and healing. I specialize in psychodrama, and incorporate techniques including therapeutic sandtrays containing symbolic figurines and objects for nonverbal exploration; hypnotherapy accessing the subconscious mind's powerful resources; and regression accessing the subconscious; and art providing creative self-expression.

Let's face it, life can be a struggle. As we do our best to navigate our way through there are times when we come to the end of our own resources. It's ok to ask for help and that might be very thing that gives you a different perspective on your situation. Your circumstances may not change but how you think about them can. You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from counselling. You may feel that your life is not as you expected it to be. Counselling can give you the space to visualise your dreams and understand the parts that have been holding you back from living your best life.

I am here to support you with what feels most pressing in your life and current circumstances. Perhaps you are facing relationship challenges, or struggling with painful past experiences. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious in your daily life. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues like these since I began seeing clients in 2014. I've witnessed the incredible healing and growth that can happen when someone is met with empathy and acceptance in counselling. A safe, non-judgmental space can make all the difference.

Here is the bedrock of my work, entitled 'In Conversation.' " We either talk with someone, or we talk at them! When we talk with them, we are engaging the other with respect and interest, perhaps empathy, maybe even compassion. When we talk at another, we are grieving the other's spirit and betraying our own." In coming to therapy you will want your issues genuinely absorbed, taken seriously and therapeutically valued. I will listen, seek clarity on your perspective, discovering your needs as you describe them. Together we will contemplate potential solutions and set realistic & achievable goals.

Do you struggle with panic attacks or anxiety, feeling depressed, or are you being troubled with intrusive thoughts or symptoms such as chronic tiredness, or have you chronic pain such as fibromyalgia? I, Dr Maureen Stevenson, am a retired GP who has trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I find that many people have been traumatised in their lives, and suffer both mental and physical symptoms following these traumatic experiences. Many of us have suffered developmental trauma, this can leave us more susceptible to be adversely affected by difficulties later in life. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can help us heal and find new hope.

Spirituality Counsellors
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
