Transpersonal Counselling in Penarth

I believe it takes great courage to reach out and look for support. However, I know it can be scary and overwhelming looking for the right person. Over the years I have been a therapist, I have supported many individuals to take back control over their lives and find the healing they had been long searching for. My training has enabled me to be able to work with complex emotions at a deep level. This is particularly effective when working with trauma and the impact of early childhood experiences. My warm and gentle approach ensures that our work together enables you to feel safe and grounded, working at a pace that suit you.

Life can become overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to manage. Experiences such as loss, bereavement and major life changes like a medical crisis can make us lose our sense of self and purpose. Depression, anxiety and personality disorders can distort our sense of self, rob us off our full personal potential and quality of life leaving us feeling depleted. Therapy is a place to regain and restore your sense of self and purpose and to help you turn these experiences to an opportunity to grow.

I often work with people who want to find a way to let go of the things that are holding them back. They want to feel more like the person they have a sense they could be if only they knew how. They want more authenticity and better relationships - or just to feel okay. Sometimes people have lost touch with their own self-worth. A crisis may have occurred. They may be struggling to feel any hope. Emotions and thoughts may be overwhelming or there can be a sense of numbness. During initial sessions, they might say things like they want to find clarity, feel confident, lighter, less burdened, and have a greater sense of freedom.

I am an at depth body orientated psychotherapeutic counsellor (UKCP accredited) and a yoga therapist (BWY, Ayurveda dip). I combine my skills and experience to offer therapy to couples and individuals who benefit from a somatic focus. Soma means ‘of the body’ and concerns our living, day to day, breathing, feeling, moving, thinking experiences. This method respects and utilises the connection between body and mind.

Although older than many, I bring decades of life experience to my counselling. I have experienced most 'rites of passage' and find that my wide experience enables me to work sympathetically and non-judgementally with my clients: there's nothing you can tell me that will shock me! We will work together in a welcoming, confidential environment to enable you to better understand your needs and the options open to you. With my support, you will be able to share your difficulties, worries and fears, developing a greater understanding of yourself, your situation and those long-standing difficulties that you feel you struggle with.

I integrate my experience both as a Core Process psychotherapist and a Humanistic Existentialist counsellor in order to help clients stay with their distress and move through difficulty. Core Process psychotherapy integrates Eastern Buddhist philosophy and embodied practice with Western psychodynamic techniques in order to help understand personality formation and connect to our innate health. The client’s difficulties in their lives can be fully explored. Alongside this, the client is also invited to deepen into their awareness of their experiences, known as coming into witness consciousness.

My aim is to support an individual to become aware of the cause of their dissatisfaction and to live the life they want. I work with clients on the subject matter they bring however creatively they chose. I am committed to equality of opportunity for people of all abilities, races, faiths, genders, sexual orientations, and ages. I find myself consistently curious and passionate about the human experience and am dedicated to furthering my development in this area.

My ideal client is someone who has decided that they need help with their particular issues. They have been struggling with these for some time and now have decided that they are prepared to engage with me and overcome or come to terms with their issues.
