When words are hard to find, we may work creatively
Being an integrative therapist means that I bring in various different theories and approaches to my work. This allows me to work in ways that will support and help you process your story and bring a deeper understanding and self-awareness of how you can manage life’s difficulties. Maybe you find talking about what is happening in your life really hard, you may not know how to explain how you feel or even know where to start. We may therefore explore using creative interventions to help aid this work, such as emotion cards, visual images, sand trays, drawings, writing etc. These can help you reflect and deepen your understanding of yourself when words are difficult to find.
Understanding your story, to start your healing
Through therapy, we can explore, reflect and look to increase self-awareness around the impact that trauma can have on our lives, bringing an understanding of how our lived experience and story so far, can shape and impact us in the here and now. I will bring a trauma informed phased approach to our work, which promotes safety and stabilisation, to help increase your overall wellbeing and provide coping strategies for day to day life, which can then provide the safety needed for the deeper work.
An individual approach helps us understand our own stories in greater depth, as our life journeys are all unique.
