Helping you reconnect with your personal power

Got to admit even though there is never any expectation for cards or gifts it is so lovely when it happens 😊 (shared anonymously with client’s kind permission)

Is therapy mind reading?

A lovely human being got me thinking about this yesterday when upon finding out my profession they said “oh no, are you going to read my mind now and tell me what I’m thinking”? This is a reaction that happens more than you may think and got me thinking, because I always say no but it occurred to me exactly why that is ..

Person-centred therapy and (in my view growthful positive therapy) is never about analysing or telling you what you think as the expert on your life.. But, if I aim to really listen and feel and experience your world as you do in a non-judgmental empathic way, perhaps we might hear and explore those things that are just out of your awareness that reveal themselves in the growthful conditions of our therapeutic relationship…. This feels very different to mind reading from a place of power and that’s why I always find the word empowerment doesn’t feel right - your personal power is not mine to give you but facilitating your reconnection with it is hopefully my aim..

Woo hoo! Just found out today that I have passed the rigorous BACP accreditation process and am now officially an Accredited member of my chosen professional body.

This process takes an average of 6 months to complete, logging anonymised client hours, detailed case studies, personal development statements, included in around 7000 words of essays, followed by a nerve-wracking wait as many applications can be deferred for resubmission if they are not up to scratch. I am officially now MBACP (Accred) - Time to celebrate!

🎉 Happy International Women’s Day!! 🎉

Celebrating cis and transgender women all across the world today ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Reflecting on how many countries are not flourishing through stifling the potential of half their citizens including this one, evidenced by how many women of all ages that I encounter who feel confusion in our ‘modern and progressive’ country…

Whilst schools and learning establishments espouse values of equality and diversity, we still live in a culture founded on, amongst other oppressive value systems, a patriarchy.

Often clients are confused - the message is we are equal but the feeling they bring is I am not, I am lesser than, because I live in a system ultimately and most often covertly biased towards power within the normative view.
This invariably seems to tend to lead to confusion and shame.

Empathic understanding, acceptance and unconditional love are the antidote to this shame and the conditions person-centred therapists strive to provide.

I have never believed in my work more than I do today and every day that I work with those covert sneaky value systems that have ended up coming to falsely pass as real representations of a clients identity, leading to an understandable denial of their true experience.

Here’s to breaking down those conditions of worth one step and one session at a time…

Here I am in a very special place to me that helps me relax and enjoy self-care….
something that however much I love my job, I realise having been feeling run down with winter illnesses is always important to maintain and remember. For me it comes in the form of seeing the sea, good food and cosy catch ups with good friends …self-care can look however you want it to, including the warm understanding and acceptance of therapy…in the run up to Christmas when who we are expected to be vs who we really are can really be tested, sending love understanding and acceptance to everyone xx

Currently my client list is full with a waiting list looking likely to offer slots from January / February and I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation if you would like to find out more about how we might work together either face to face, online or via telephone

Therapy is perhaps unique in the sense that the goal is for our clients to no longer require our services as they move forward..

I’ve had a few clients move on to the next stage of their journey recently - a privilege to work with every one of them and receive lovely feedback like this.

A few slots from late November are currently available and I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation if you would like to find out more about how we might work together either face to face, online or via telephone

A woman who certainly never seemed to be afraid of living…

Pets can often be such a comfort, sometimes seeming to effortlessly master the therapeutic core conditions - offering non-judgemental unconditional love and acceptance in abundance, comfort and empathic understanding when you need it, and complete presence and congruence when it’s dinner time and this one tells you he’s hungry 😂

Returned back from an incredible weekend with members of after attending their biennial practitioners conference this weekend, which was themed ‘sharing experience’.. Go to www.the-pca.org.uk to find out more about this amazing organisation I feel lucky to be a part of..

At last! My private practice room is finished and I hope to be able to offer all my face to face sessions here by April / May 😊

Therapy cat? Axel sat on the window of my new private practice room, looking very at home! Probably the most empathic cat I’ve ever met and happy to sit on the lap of clients that feel his presence is helpful..

Learning to love ourselves can sometimes be a really difficult process, and often, we have no space to be able to do that because others have ignored or invaded our boundaries. Through receiving empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard, we can create space to explore what self-love looks like for us and tentatively discover what we want our boundaries to look like and how we want them to exist...

Thank you .psychotherapist for sharing this quote by a few days ago, the first time I had read it and felt how powerful and accurate it seemed.
