Transpersonal Services
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in the individual's innate capacity to direct their own healing. I am therefore guided by each client and their individual nervous system and subconscious, to explore, unpack, reprocess, integrate and build in the most direct and organic way possible. Each client is individual and therefore each session is individual and directed based on what the body and psyche offer as the most available next layer to be worked on. While using methods that strengthen the individuals link to their core higher self, the wisdom of their body and spirit and by means of surrendering the limitations of the mind (without excluding it) to the higher wisdom of the soul and the intuitive nature of the being, we map the landscape to be sure we won't disrupt associated traumas and trauma structures prematurely and unpack, process and clear limitations of all forms as gently and quickly as is possible.
​
I also assist with psychoeducation and spiritual development and by doing so, hold the lantern while the client illuminates their own inner healer. You are who you've been looking for, and I can assist you to find your way back to the full expression of that powerful, authentic self.
SERVICES
PSYCHOTHERAPUTIC
SHADOW WORK
Using a psychotherapeutic approach combined with trauma informed practice, I assist clients to delve deep into the shadow of their psyche to discover long repressed parts of self and long forgotten trauma that is playing itself out as current beliefs, patterns, triggers and life challenges.
I assist to remove the limitations, restrictions and barriers within the brain, nervous system and the subconscious, liberating each's original whole and authentic template. I address the root cause and the origin point of the trauma patterns and change occurs naturally as a result.
TRAUMA COUNSELLING
Using trauma informed practices, I take a biopsychosocial approach to your mental and emotional health. We focus on the somatic (energetic and emotional) patterns stuck within your nervous system, the patterns of antithetical neurological wiring, the limiting beliefs within your subconscious, as well as (where necessary) a more traditional approach to the stuck mental and behavioural patterns, all informed by your history and your environment.
PLANT MEDICINE INTEGRATION
I have experience with the challenges and needs that arise before and after plant medicine experiences. I can assist clients with preparation and integration, and can assist with the resulting gifts as well as the difficulties experienced during and after a journey.
I believe in ensuring right alignment and right relationship with these medicines and their plant spirits. I also know the importance of discernment in choosing practitioners and settings, as well as potential pitfalls and contraindications based on neuro-profile, mental health history, mental health medication and expectations.
**NB: I do not supply or use plant medicine in sessions, offer facilitation or condone breaking any laws, however understand the power and potential of these medicines when used correctly and understand some clients may also have accessed them of their own accord, or via overseas travel.
INTERWEAVED MODALITIES
I weave a broad range of modalities and techniques into the therapeutic experience as required; from the best practice trauma informed, psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic, through to the esoteric.
Also, while not formally trained in any biomedical background and therefore not qualified to diagnose or treat medical conditions, I do consider these issues and how we can address factors affecting them, whether through techniques that make use of neuroplasticity to address limbic stress responses and therefore the degenerative effects cortisol has on the body, or through behavioural interventions, sensory tools and alike that address capacity.
See here for a general list.
PSYCHOEDUCATION
Understanding your individual authentic nature and having the knowledge and tools to assist yourself between sessions and into your future, is a crucial part of what I offer. You are your own healer. I am simply here to hold the space, while offering the tools necessary for you to step back into the fullness of your own being and the power of your own wisdom.
I encourage and empower clients to cultivate the knowledge, skills and capabilities to be able to assist themselves to maintain good mental and emotional health as well as expand their conscious awareness and capacities.
TRANSPERSONAL WORK
While I believe all trauma and challenges can be accessed and healed via this current life and body, in the event they arise I can also address ancestral and past life wounds as well as interfering and lost spirits, attachments and energy . This can take many forms and require varied solutions including (but not limited to) sacred contract revocation, removal of interfering spirits and forms and alignment to gifts and knowledge. I can also assist with spiritual knowledge and development (including addressing maladaptive and incorrect ideas taken on by following a New Age path), shamanic skills and techniques, and integration toward deeper alignment on your individual spiritual path. This is achieved through balanced grounded wisdom and integrity.
