Somatic, holistic and trauma informed, my private practice primarily encourages people to align with their true nature and embody the gifts they carry, so that they may live as powerful, healing influences in their communities.

Traditional cultures understand that we need guides in order to successfully traverse the many paths we encounter within a life, that it can’t be done alone.

With twenty years experience in transformational healing arts, I have guided hundreds of people on the path of self-realisation; those who have set out to find their true selves, to evolve and change. My offer is to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with you, champion, challenge, and support you in the serious commitment to you own individuation, healing and transformation.

Whiles this work can be healing, liberating and empowering, it can also prove challenging to the identities and fantasies we have gathered along the way. This work requires an investment of time and money but more importantly it requires your commitment and energy.

My ‘super power’ is connection; connecting with people, understanding them and helping them grow. This is where I have focused my time, energy and skills throughout my adult life.

My approach draws on Gene Gendlin’s focusing method, Generative Coaching, my own Buddhist background and training in deep nature connection together with somatic approaches that respect the intelligence of the body.

Please see below for an overview of the modalities I draw upon.

I prefer the title mentor or companion to coach or therapist. I work online via Skype or Zoom, and in person where possible.

How I like to work with clients

  • Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy

    My approach to somatic therapy draws on my background in Gendlin’s Focusing method, Levine’s Somatic Experiencing and Broughton’s IoPT (Identity-orientated Psychotrauma Therapy).

    The main focus is to support clients in developing their capacities for healing, integration, self-regulation & resilience.

  • Embodiment Coaching

    Somatically tracking our own body sensations or ‘felt-sense’ enables the nervous system to show us trapped survival energy felt in the body and its release.

    This body-aware approach enables you to connect with your deeper authentic voice and navigate the world from a place of centredness (your inner compass). This ultimately shows you how to be at home within yourself with natural confidence.

  • Integrative Approaches

    If you don't welcome yourself at your front door no amount of deadbolts will keep the back door secure.

    Sooner or later we will be ‘invited’ to accept, and bring curiosity to those places inside of ourselves that we reject and suppress. When we learn the to skilfully respect and offer presence to all of ourselves this becomes the craft of self-love. This is not some rose-tinted sentimental ideal, this is necessary to become a mature human presence.

To be authentic means to be true to oneself.

It is a very, very dangerous phenomenon, rare people can do that. But whenever people do it, they achieve such beauty, such grace, such contentment that you cannot imagine…

- Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Human Growth

There are particular points in your life when something needs to change and you have the feeling that you want to evolve into the next chapter. An identity shift, if you will. These shifts are as natural as life itself. Whether from childhood to adulthood, or singledom to marriage, or marriage to divorce we all know something of these passages.

There are also more nuanced passages but no less important; times when it might seem like the hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves.

When we ask, Who am I? Really? Aside from what family and society and conventions tell me. And how do I get to that place of self knowledge and conviction where I are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, ‘This is who I am, this is what I stand for, this is how I intend to live my life’?

These are all death and rebirth moments within a life; when we die to what is no-longer so that we can open to what is new. Natures cycles of death and rebirth are inherent to all life, human and more-than-human.

My passion is to share ways in which we can live in harmony with these cycles, and to support people in navigating the different seasons of their lives.

When you speak from the heart,
when you speak as one
who has been touched by life,
you speak not only
to the face I show to the world
and the self I wish to be,
but to the rebels and outcasts in me;
to the tender longing
and the quiet yearning
that has yet to be expressed;
to the love of what is unfinished,
what is still forming,
and what is forever left behind.

- Nick Leforce
