In a nutshell...

Offering one-to-one Compassionate Inquiry informed Counselling/Coaching to individuals via Zoom, or face to face if requested and feasible. Letting go of learned core beliefs and destructive behavioural patterns and taking authorship of our stories. Learning to respond rather than react to what happens around us, and recognising that it is something happening for us, not to us. Re-framing our perspective and making space for the emotions we experience in the body, allowing ourselves to show up with authenticity in our day-to-day lives. Helping to achieve self-compassion and develop curiosity in the place of judgement. Particularly experienced with depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and behavioural/substance addictions.

My Approach...

My unique approach of CI informed counselling/coaching partly involves looking at ourselves objectively and assessing practical areas of our lives where we can take action to improve our overall health and well-being. This may involve addressing unhealthy behaviours/addictions, diet, exercise, sleep hygiene etc and getting into healthier patterns of behaviour that will lead to better physical and mental health outcomes.

Paired with this practical understanding, the majority of the work essentially involves getting to know ourselves better. This requires us to get curious about and acknowledge our triggers, understanding why we are reacting to certain situations. It promotes taking authorship of our stories rather than getting caught in the narrative, understanding where we may have formed our core beliefs and perceptions early on in our lives. We can then develop compassion for and connect with the younger self, allowing us to see things from the child's perspective. This cognitive understanding is further deepened by connecting with and making space for the implicit emotions/feelings that come up in our bodies, experiencing them in the present moment in a safe, non-judgemental space. This allows us to be with what is there when triggered, remembering what it brings up in us from the past, learning to respond consciously rather than unconsciously reacting. This approach is hence both cognitive and somatic, helping to foster a stronger connection between mind and body and between the unconscious and conscious mind.

In summary, the process is about developing kindness and compassion for the self and others, rediscovering the truth of who we are and living with balance and authenticity. This inevitably leads to improvement in health and well-being as we make healthier choices, escaping the negative cycles we have previously been stuck in.

My responsibility to you as a professional is to be an empathetic, present witness for every minute we are together. I bring 100% confidentiality, honesty and transparency and complete faith in you to achieve your goals. It is not my responsibility to fix you or give you advice, but to accept you as you are and trust that you have the answers already. It is a client-led process that asks questions rather than giving an opinion or diagnosis.
