You will know by now that by profession, I am a BACP Accredited Therapist, an ICF Certfied Somatic Trauma Informed Coach ™️, and a Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™️.
After qualifying as a Therapeutic Counsellor in 2006, I went on to become certified as a Counselling for Depression Practitioner (PCE-CfD), a Rewind Therapy Practitioner (RT) (Working with symptoms of PTSD) and an Advanced Phase 4 Brainspotting Practitioner, working with trauma, Complex PTSD, nervous system dysregulation and self-limiting inner blocks.
But like you, I am more than just my qualifications and trainings; I am someone who feels deeply, cares deeply and strives to live a meaningful, purpose-driven life.
In my younger years, I never would have believed you if you'd told me that I would, one day, go on to have a thriving therapy and coaching practice - I was quiet, shy, and 'needed to speak up more' in class (at school) But here I am, and if I can achieve this, you can achieve your purpose-driven life too.
For years, I unconsciously carried around stuck experiences, unaware of just how much my life was being shaped by them.
It's difficult to put into words just how transformative body-mind therapy and coaching sessions have been for me, but where there was previously a feeling of being stuck and anxious, I now have a sense of clarity and flow.
It has been like coming home to myself.
Today, I'm more passionate about my work than ever, helping purpose-driven individuals find the most effective ways to reconnect to their own heart and intuition, and to break free from what’s truly holding them back from living the life they know they are meant for.
Sense of identity
I'm a dancer, dreamer, doodler and deep thinker. I describe myself as intuitive and empathic.
I never really considered myself to be a creative person previously , but my therapeutic work is deeply and powerfully creative...we are all creative in some way.
I use powerful interventions such as inner child work, imaginal Rewind Therapy, and the neuro experiential modality of Brainspotting...who was I kidding that I'm not creative?! ... and this is how powerful our inner blocks can be, telling us that we are not good enough, not clever enough, not creative enough to be creative!
I didn't know it at the time, but the complex trauma of narcissistic abuse was to eventually be my catalyst for change.
Maybe it's time for you to allow your experiences to be your catalyst for change?
I love making memories with the people that I love, and who love me.
I love sunsets and sunrises, although I'm rarely up early enough to catch the latter!
I love to sit on a balcony and just absorb a wonderfully expansive view...add in the sunrise or sunset and that's pure bliss!
I'm inspired by a good book and I love to wander by the sea, especially wrapped up snug and warm on a crisp cold, blustery day ~ there's nothing quite like blowing the cobwebs!
I love the changing colours of nature in the Autumn, the sound of the wind blowing through crisp leaves.
To get lost in a film is a real treat and I really do love to dance, even if just around my lounge ~ lots would say their kitchen but that's really not my favourite room in the house!
There was a time when I had no idea what I loved, I'd moved so far away from myself that all of this was completely off my radar. It really is a joy to be able to list these for you here now.
It's never too late to heal.
