Growing Awareness COUNSELLING

for Relationships and Individuals

Awareness and Compassion

 

Awareness and Compassion are the central pillars of the work, each supporting the other.  Where there is Compassion and emotional safety, genuine enquiry into the nature of our current experience becomes possible.  And as we deepen our Awareness of the underlying human needs and histories that drive our challenging patterns, empathy naturally flows for ourselves and those we are in relationship with.

 

 

 Therapy for the Whole Person

 

We work with the information and wisdom which emerges from our bodies, emotions and unconscious – as well as our minds and thoughts. Tending to all of these facets supports their integration and synthesis into our whole selves, which includes our relationship to others and the world.

 

 

A Collaborative Process

 

This is doing therapy with you, not to you. You are encouraged to guide and co-create a process that makes sense to you and fits your unique needs. Whilst I bring existing skills, knowledge and experience to the encounter, you help me learn what works for you and what doesn’t.

 

 

An Opportunity for Healing and Growth

 

Times of suffering and challenge can contain seeds of the positive change which grow from them. Coming into awareness of the unhelpful patterns which have co-created the difficulties we face gives us an opportunity to change. When wounds that we have long kept hidden or adapted around are exposed we are granted the possibility of deep healing. Life’s trials can ask that we expand beyond our current selves in order to meet them. These frames around healing and growth can be useful as ways to view our experiences. They aren’t imposed on or expected from you, but often emerge naturally through simply being with what is here.
