You will expereince person centred approaches and methodologies when you work with me. With a deep commitment to walk alongside you. I am passionate about exploring ways for you to live more fully and purposefully; to help guide you in ways that feel authentic to you, to thrive in healthy relationships to yourself, to others and to life.
As your coach and mentor I will support and guide so that together we can learn, heal and grow, to help to make a better world to be possible for yourself and those around you and your impact in world large or small. You will learn how to make wiser choices, you will develop a toolkit for living, thriving and relating that is applicable in any circumstance.
We will be guided and informed by working with your mind, body, feelings and intuitions - the many ways of knowing and intelligences. Developing psycholgical health, emotional awareness, the purpose of emotions and how to work wisely and effectively with them, meaning and purpose.
My work is trauma informed and engages Somatic (body) awareness as a core principle. There are also many other contexts may need to be explored including cultural, family and relational dynamics and influences.
As well as specific issues. sessions will explore what gives your life meaning, passion and purpose, exploring your sense of morals, ethics and principles which you choose to live by, as guiding stars to nagivate through life's challanges and complexities.
My sessions aim to co create a situation where it is safe enough for you to take some risks. To meet with and explore the edges of the trust and learnings you might have from past experiences. To help restore hope in yourself, in your life and more faith in a better future.
Challenge, where approriate, cultivates growth which is needed for a more authentic life. You will gain insights in how to resource yourself in practical ways, to nurture resilience and to live with greater efficacy.
Nature connection is an integral part of our work together. I have a deep curiosity about 'what is really going on here', and am often looking for the deeper meaning by sensing into the bigger picture. Exploring what is at the core underneath the surface story.
I am particularly experienced in engaging with and supporting mental health, wellbeing, working with teenagers and guidance and support to Parents and Carers of young people.
My work welcomes all sex and gender identification and orientations. I do not have a fixed idea about how we define masculinity and femininity and acknowledge that these are areas for rigorous exploration and deep enquiry. I acknowledge the complexity of sex and gender and that it is and we are multi faceted and complex beings.
I have a wide spectrum of clients and organisations who I work with in a variety of ways including personal, relational, and professional reasons.
As a 64 year old, with two adult children, I have gained a lot of personal and professionalexperience along the way and my learning/unlearning journey continues.
I live in Stroud, in Gloucestershire UK and I am both grateful and inspired by the people I have the opportunity to share this work with and those who have helped me get to here.
