How I work

What Is Integrative Transpersonal Therapy?

The integrative incorporates a number of different therapeutic modalities, effectively calling on different disciplines means that I can create a unique therapeutic experience that is authentically yours.

The Transpersonal works with the other than human experiences, the moments that ask us to be curious and find meaning where there seem to be no answers. 

When I started the journey of becoming a therapist, I was hungry for the knowledge of how to look inside the human condition and identify what was “wrong” or “broken”, so that I could identify it’s origin, diagnose it and use that information to help ease another’s pain. But the more I did the practise of sitting in the room with someone and hearing their stories, the more I turned away from the pursuit of understanding and found myself leaning into the vulnerable space of connection and intimacy that seems to sit in the silence between the questions. I am thankful for the integrative because it informs the questions and creates the boundaries and containment that surrounds and underpins the the two chairs that face each other in the room. But I fell in love with the transpersonal because it transcends my understanding and allows for something magical to happen in the entangled field between and around us, and it is in that part of the relationship where healing happens, not in the understanding or psycopatholougising of what went wrong, but in the connection that conveys the message. You are of value and there is meaning in your pain.

The Setting

I primarily work in person, in a private consulting room in Petersfield town centre. I can also offer online sessions via zoom. And in some circumstances via telephone or home visit. 

In The Room

In addition to talk therapy we will also work with dreams, drawing, music, stories, meditative visualisation and ritual.

The Work

The goal of our therapeutic journey will be to reunite the parts of you that have been cast out or unwanted, either by yourself or by others. We will do this by exploring the experiences of early childhood in to adulthood. By being curious about the stories that you have been told about who you are, we can discover the wounded parts. Which is where transformation and healing lives.
