DESCRIPTION OF HEALING MODALITIES
Holistic Counselling Holistic Counselling is an experience of heart and soul which empowers clients to consider issues from different perspectives. It is a journey into your inner being to see, sense and feel who you believe you are and who you truly are. My approach style tends to be intuitive which allows healing to impact on a range of different life areas.
Soul Centred PsychotherapySoul Centred Psychotherapy is the name given to a form of therapy that focuses on relationship, mindfulness, attention, lived experience, meaning, honouring, enchantment, and the sacred. It is this focus that differentiates Soul Centred work from other approaches that use similar therapeutic techniques.
I use a range of techniques designed to educate you about how your mind and body are connected and how your physical sensations relate to your emotional well being, Information may also come in dreams, writing, drawing and giving form to images. You may practise new ways of communicating and changing behaviour in a safe environment which is designed to improve your capacity to discover and develop your resources; to discover the real you and allow you to live life fully in the moment.
In my practice as a Soul Centred Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I will incorporate the following therapeutic approaches and techniques as required:
- Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing - Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing has arisen out of the body of research stimulated by mind/body approaches to healing, including EMDR and energy psychology. Bi-Lateral Stimulation Processing incorporates muscle testing, sound and kinaesthetic processing, as well as eye movements to process traumas and install positive beliefs.
- Hypnotherapy – Imagery, Relaxation, Safety. Changing patterns and habits and accessing creativity.
- Thought Matrix Meridian Therapy – is based on current research in mind/body healing and incorporates meridian tapping, muscle testing, and specific treatment methods for phobias, anxiety, trauma and more; and is similar to other approaches that have arisen from this research, such as TFT, EFT, etc which make the premise that all illness is due to a disruption in the body’s energy system.
- Body, Breath & Expressive Therapies – Grounding, mindfulness, confidence, awareness.
- Dreams – Linking the unconscious and conscious messages and meanings; sorting through the personal symbolic. “It is much better for the conscious and unconscious to be connected and to move on parallel lines than for them to be dissociated. In this respect the production of (dream) symbols can be a most valuable function.” Jung
- Working with Parts – Identify many parts of self, alliances and conflict within and renegotiating new behaviours
- Working with Defences – Identifying emotions and feelings which have been avoided through anxieties.
- Working with Ritual – Healing the past through respectful ritual to bring peace and create a positive present.
- Myth, Metaphor & Story – Mythology, archetypes and fairy tales can anchor context and meaning in your journey
- Neuro Linguistic Programming – People use maps, models or representations of the world based on their own experience. One way that these representations are coded is based upon the senses, what one sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes. People are normally consciously using one or two main modes of reference. NLP uses anchoring in one state to access resources in other states.
“Your only obligation in this lifetime is to be true to yourself.” (Richard Bach).
My pleasure as a counsellor and psychotherapist is to assist you to explore and discover through our relationship with love and understanding, what it is to truly be your unique self.
Therapy can change the way you feel about yourself and others and open up a world of new possibilities. You can be sure that I will not ask you to experience something that I have not asked of myself. A good therapist will have had therapy themselves in order to minimise the possibility of them having any ‘blind spots’ of their own which can affect the way they work with you. I am here to assist you in researching and exploring your own personal truth. Change is often painful and difficult and a great deal of upset may resurface along the way, however it is possible to minimise this upset through my attending to you and through utilising the appropriate techniques that smoothly facilitate this process.
MY JOURNEY
My deeply personal journey has been truly amazing and finally led me be doing the work I’ve always longed to do. I previously worked for 30 years in administration studying part–time to keep my intelligence alive. My training at The Kairos Centre has allowed me to fit together all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of my life and understand how finely tuned our bodies are in order to allow us to survive traumatic experiences and how we make life decisions that arise out of trauma. I have discovered skills and abilities within myself which I never suspected and that I can now fully express and explore. Here are some examples:
Dreams“I am standing by a river or lake. There is an old fashioned wooden boat anchored in the water near the edge. Two men on the shore are preparing to go fishing. It is a beautiful place, calm and peaceful, with gum trees and bamboo at the waters edge. I look into the shallows and there are two fish swimming slowly about. I see them clearly; they are big fat colourful trout ...”
PoetryShe wanders near the cage door
He seems tame at first
She reaches in to touch him
He reaches back to hold her
Tightly
He pulls her to the bars and captures her attention
"I will never let you go", he says
"I will scream", she says
As he kisses her soft red lips
Her body goes limp as she falls in love
He steals the key
And carries her to the wild woods
Too late,
She screams in ecstasy
All night long!
Story/Fantasy“… The centre of your heart is opened and you feel the wings of your soul, unacknowledged for centuries, begin an awakening. You raise your arms and take off leaving earthly things behind. You become a spiralling sensation of emotions and feelings as your body sheds its rules and constrictions. She touches you and you are alight with electricity…”
DrawingDrawing, painting, working with clay and other forms of artistic expression can be very useful in exploring emotions. Images and themes from the unconscious: from dreams, from sensations, can be explored and transformed in a deeply satisfying way.
I can assist you to find your way of solving the issues or complexes that are preventing you from doing or being the way you wish. I know that for some people, asking for help requires courage. I am dedicated to the pursuit of your transformation through understanding, compassion and awareness.
“Who are you?” they asked.
“I am me, at last”, came the answer.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“I feel like I have been pushed out into life” (after some difficult and intense sessions). J.
“Now that I am overseas and travelling around a lot, I look back and remember those sessions in our room and I am so happy that I no longer suffer from motion sickness, fear of falling down stairs or having injections. D
“That’s the first time I haven’t been drunk on New Years Eve for 5 or 6 years”. C.
"I had my six-monthly performance review last week. The usual about my accuracy, attention to detail, business acumen, etc. AND A SPECIAL MENTION: "It was noticed that over the past few months that I seemed happier, less tense in my nature and that my communication skills (I think they meant "interpersonal" and not written) had improved immensely". This would not have happened without our lovely, friendly sessions (even though I find then confronting at times!)." A.
Thankyou so much for the work you did with me. Your techniques for uncovering my hidden emotional issues were both gentle and effective. I am so grateful to you for helping me. I can now move forward in my life with a genuine sense of happiness. J.
I have found that looking back at my life - I usually have one or more main teachers in my life. You have been one of my greatest teachers and I hope you continue to share your wealth of knowledge and skills with myself and others. K.
I play golf with a group of about 40 mates. My score was usually in the bottom third. After my first session with Julie, I came second by one shot. And after our second session I came first by 4 shots and I didn’t even play that well. P.
