Our experience can shape how we respond to life and navigate our path through it. We can find ourselves reacting with protective behaviours and ways of being, so that rather than fully participating in life in a purposeful and meaningful way we are thrown about by it or carried along with it feeling anxious, depressed and out of control and knowing that we are not living life in the way that we want.
For me, this brings to mind how an oyster will cover grains of sand that get into it's shell with layer upon layer of nacre to protect itself and how sharp pieces of broken glass left on the beach are tossed around by the sea and worn down by the action of the sand.
It can be both powerful and freeing to:
Spend time exploring and understanding our ways of being
Explore how to let go of protective behaviours that no longer serve us
Develop self-compassion and kindness
This process can result in changes and new ways of experiencing life similar to the pearl produced by the oyster and the sea glass produced by the actions of the sea and the sand.
Therapy is led by you in an exploration of your experience and how you navigate the world, the strategies and ways of being that you use to cope and how and whether these serve you now. Together we can explore this and what change would look like as part of your journey to healing.
Sessions last one hour and there is the option for these to be either online or face to face.
Face to face sessions are held at the Lowport Centre in the small counselling room, which offers a private cosy space.
Monday: morning and early afternoon FULL
Thursday: morning availability, early afternoon and evening FULL
Friday: morning availability
I offer a free initial 30 minute online introductory session so we can decide whether we could work together.
Following that the cost of each session is £50.
