Philosophy

We view things in the outer world through the eyes of our history i.e. experiences that determine who we are and how we behave. When we begin to explore our inner world of feelings, memories and images, getting in touch with the parts of ourselves and experiences that are difficult to accept our transformation begins. The process of therapy takes you towards a deeper understanding of the impact of your history, significant events and experiences of shock or trauma on your sense of self, as well as working with somatic experience; the way in which psychological and emotional distress manifest in the body as pain or illness. The integrative nature of therapy engages with the purpose and meaning of your life, assessing your inner values, questioning what you do and how you want to live in today’s world.
