Individual therapy or counselling can be a key ingredient in transformation. Human beings are relational creatures and we learn and grow through empathic resonance - by observing, interacting and tuning into each other. 

 

Therefore, at different stages in life, we need guides who can walk a little ahead of us and can show us the way, or people who will simply walk beside us and listen. 

​

I have many ways I can assist people and I draw from a range of modalities including the Hearing Voices Approach, Narrative Therapy, Embodied Processing Therapy (somatic work), Voice Dialogue, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems therapy, peer support, mindfulness and ceremonial practices. 

​

Because of the nature of my own lived experience, I often work with people who have diagnoses of schizophrenia, bi-polar, BPD, DID or complex trauma.

​

General counselling 

Let's talk! I'll work at your pace and comfort level, offering you a range of ideas, practical tools and different ways to approach your difficulties. 

​

Voice & parts work 

I can help you identify and work with different voices or aspects of yourself; this work is integrative and deeply healing, and is one of the major aspects of my own recovery journey.

 

Maastricht interview 

A one-off, in depth interview using a clinically designed set of questions to help you understand your voices and increase insight for recovery.  

​

Story mentoring

I can mentor people who wish to write their memoirs or capture their stories in other mediums, such as art or film. 

​

How an individual guidance session looks for you will be completely unique and will depend on your own needs and inclinations. I have some of the services listed below, but if you don't see what you're looking for, please ask! 

 

I can also provide support and guidance for family and carers of people living with mental illness.
