Counselling & Psychotherapy

Experienced, Accredited Senior Counsellor.
Worked in NHS and Private Practice for 25 years.

"We are not clones but individual beings with enormous potential and limitless creativity if we put the time and energy in." Francesca Rosetti

As a Holistic Therapist I offer support in a compassionate and non-judgemental approach using 25yrs clinical experience in NHS as a High Intensity Mental Health Counsellor and Supervisor integrating science and universal knowledge to help clients look at their life from a different perspective. Often clients can make great changes to their health and well-being by using simple techniques to help align, heal and nourish their mind, body & spirit.

Holistic means looking at the 'whole' mind and body.
We exist in a spectrum of consciousness... We are multi dimensional beings, transmuting through dreams, visions & creativity enabling us to explore & access our true potential.

Counselling/Psychotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy can give clients incite and understanding of "why they feel like they feel" by looking at past and present events and and how they can impact on the mind & body health years later. Manifesting as physical illness, blocked energy and inner chaos that manifests as physical pain, fear, anxiety, anger, lethargy and depression.

Mind/Body Therapy

We are not separate but interconnected as a "whole self" exploring messages from the body and how physical and psychological pain can manifest from suppressed trauma and life events can be life changing for clients. When we are out of balance caused by stress and illness we struggling to function from day to day as sentient being s with a high level of Conscious awareness and Social understanding, academic knowledge we have huge potential to change negative patterns often caused by other peoples emotional conditioning put on us as a child and now is outdated. Someone else’s rules for living will block our personal and spiritual growth and cast a shadow on our own potential.

My psychotherapeutic models from Freud, Gestalt, Bowlby, Maslow, Adler, Esoteric Wisdom, Religious, Spiritual, Quakerism and the Buddhist Path, ancient Philosophy of and my own life experience can help clients see a bigger picture of a "whole self disharmony". Mindfulness, Compassion & Acceptance Therapy helps look at healing one’s self from the the inside out. Having worked in the NHS for 25 years as High Intensity Mental Health Counsellor and Supervisor I have witnessed clients who have transformed their lives and found resources within themselves they never knew they had. Working in a non intrusive compassionate model, I offer gentle psycho education and support to help clients challenge and change out-dated thinking patterns that may be holding back their ability to heal by introducing psychotherapeutic models, creativity, mind/body therapy, mindfulness and visualisation.

Hypnotherapy

I was trained in Hypnotherapy at West London University. To bypass the analytical mind, working directly with the subconscious the all knowing part of ourselves, helping to overcome fears. Hypnotherapy is known to help auto immune conditions : Crohns, IBS and deep seated problems and sooths the central nervous system.

Trauma/Transition/Change/Transformation

Sudden or unavoidable cxperience and change can cause powerful emotional reactions within the psyche we know as trauma. Humans are programmed to react to sudden change to keep themselves safe, if however the change happens too quick ie loss of something or someone they are strongly attached to. The ‘abrupt rupture‘ will cause shock waves throughout mind and body, we feel this as fear which may reoccur throughout our life Puberty, Adulthood, Separation, Menopause, Redundancies, Illness, Retirement, Ageing and Death can cause us to feel frightened, anxious, out of control and alone. We may not be prepared or understand or know what is happening or how to cope with life changes. Counselling can help clients look within themselves and tap into their inner resources and build self awareness and courage to explore new beginnings. As an experienced Counsellor supporting clients through change and transition as they emerge, a stronger person with confidence to go forward and be the best version of their new found self.

Esoteric Healing and Transpersonal Therapy (beyond the body) We are embodied souls going through life experiences gaining awareness of who we truly are with an aim to be uniquely a authentic self.
