What you seek is also seeking you
Rumi
When we face indecision, confusion, sorrow, pain, anxiety, anger – all that it is to be human – often our instinctive reaction is to turn away from the feelings; to try to escape from them or to brave them out, telling ourselves, “I’ll deal with this on my own”. We can become adept at escaping – through work, exercise, relationships, alcohol, substances, so many options – some more socially acceptable than others! The more we practice our chosen method of escape, the sense of brave independence hardens into isolation, where we shut down the parts of ourselves that feel love and joy, and disconnect from those around us.
As a qualified, experienced integrative psychotherapist and drama and movement therapist, my treatment plan and therapeutic approach are geared towards what the individual client needs – working in a relational way rather than blank-screen. I have a background in working with clients experiencing intense crisis, combining creative tools with a cognitive approach.
