Support with Mental Health & Supervision

 

Welcome to my website.

I specialise in reminding people of their capacity to heal using twenty eight years of experience within integrative health spaces.

 

For whatever reason you find yourself here, you are most welcome. First and foremost I am an integrative therapist who believes that everybody needs to be seen through a holistic lens. This might mean considering childhood adversity, trauma, neurodiversity, their biology, lifestyle, menopause stage, their psychology and attachment style, their personality type, major changes in life, sleep, self-care and the nervous system. This approaches applies across all my work, supporting clients, supervisees and students or when delivering training.

A journey to re-claim your power from stress and anxiety , Introduction to The Gateway Journey

I am the founder of The Wellness Gateway Charity.

www.thewellnessgateway.org

I am passionate about education and have an accredited training school, am an external trainer on trauma-informed practice for the NHS and provide internal verification services for other colleges and training schools. I do not offer therapy for the charity.

About My Work 

Holistic and Somatic Psychology is not about symptom elimination, but to see symptoms and behaviours as a way the body communicates and asks for a person’s conscious attention and awareness in relation to the problem. 

I am a supporter of my clients rather than diagnosing, fixing, curing or treating what is “wrong” with them. I offer activities, therapy models, stabilisation, psychological education and topics of conversation that will help clients grow and learn.

 I have written two holistic mental health and wellness books – “The Gateway” and “The Gateway – Junior Edition” series which are an introduction and modified version of my work with a choice for anyone to continue their journey. Both books are available on the ‘shop’ page.

 

My Approaches

My approaches support and empower clients through Western Psychological approaches such as trauma-focused EMDR  (eye-movement de-sensitisation re-processing), Treating Trauma with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Advanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Biopsychological education, Biofeedback, Inner Child Therapy,  Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), Crystal Singing Bowls. Western Psychology blended with Eastern philosophies and ancient time honoured techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, touch therapies and energy psychology. I have personally dealt with trauma, anxiety, panic and depression so my approach is from two perspectives, one as a survivor with hard won experience and as a trained practitioner. I can support clients to “treat” their symptoms and also take therapy a step further to discover the roots causes of emotional pain in a safe and professional environment.
