Integrative Massage & Body Psychotherapy

Body Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers help where one feels trapped or overwhelmed, or where one wishes to deepen their self-understanding and capacity for fulfilment in life.  It enables you to explore your 'inner world' and the conflicts that cause pain or that limit your potential.

The methods which may be used in our sessions can include, apart from the basic verbal interaction, a variety of bodywork techniques (ranging from body awareness and bodily impulses to biodynamic massage and bioenergetics), Gestalt, visualisation, dreamwork; and creative expression through movement and sound.

Body psychotherapy has its roots in Freudian, Reichian, Kleinian, Object Relations and Developmental Psychology. It includes Jungian and Person Centred approaches as well as being integrative and relational. Body psychotherapy is a United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists recognised discipline and adheres to their strict professional practice and guidance.

In addition to problems clients may bring around personal fulfillment, relationship difficulties, and issues involving change, I have specialist experience in Bereavement Counselling, Post Traumatic Stress, HIV and HEP-C.
