Integrative Approach

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, transformative, evidence based model of psychotherapy. It is based on the assumption that the mind is multiple and our psychology can be understood as a system of 'parts' or aspects of the personality that influence our daily lives by the thoughts, beliefs, feelings and memories that they carry.

IFS is a modality that integrates many techniques including cognitive and relational therapy, trauma reprocessing, somatic techniques, mindfulness and psycho dynamics.

IFS is an experiential and systematic way of working that can help to process and heal significant trauma, facilitating personal growth and freeing us to become more resourceful and connected in our daily lives and relationships.

 Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often called "tapping," is a simple yet powerful self-help method that combines elements of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. By gently tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on an issue or emotion, EFT helps release negative feelings, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance. It's an effective tool for overcoming fears, managing anxiety, and improving overall well-being in a natural, non-invasive way.

 Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), often referred to as "the User Manual for the Mind," is a powerful approach to understanding how our thoughts, behaviours, and communication patterns shape our experiences. It provides tools and techniques to help us become more aware of the unconscious patterns that influence our decisions, emotions, and relationships.

At its core, NLP is about developing a deep understanding of how our minds work and identifying the behaviors and repeated patterns we engage in. By shining a light on these patterns, we can assess how well they serve us in achieving our goals or enhancing our overall well-being.

Once we cultivate this awareness, we gain the ability to make conscious choices about our responses and behaviors. We can keep and strengthen the patterns that align with our values and aspirations while intentionally updating or transforming those that no longer support our growth or happiness.

 Coaching complements the therapeutic process by bridging the gap between understanding and action. While therapy often focuses on healing past wounds and gaining insight into patterns of behavior, coaching builds on this foundation by empowering you to take intentional steps toward your desired future. It helps transform awareness into actionable strategies, providing accountability and motivation to implement meaningful changes in your life. By combining a forward-focused approach with tools tailored to your unique needs, coaching creates a supportive environment where you can cultivate self-confidence, build resilience, and align your daily choices with your long-term vision. 

Hypnotherapy is purely finding the very natural state we all access daily, such as when nearly asleep, just as we wake, daydreaming on a beach, reading a book or driving home i.e. where we are less conscious in the here and now. Our sub-conscious is a powerful tool.

We automate most of our routine behaviours and beliefs in our lives, and operate on autopilot, in order to be more effective.

Understanding and reviewing some that may now be less helpful, we can update them. This can be a very powerful way to positively change our lives. Doing this in our most relaxed states is the most effective way to incorporate any changes we choose to make.

Yoga and mindfulness are powerful practices that deeply enhance the therapeutic process by fostering a stronger connection between the mind and body. Seasonal Yoga, with its roots in Daoism, nature, and Confucianism, emphasizes harmony with natural cycles and the body’s inherent rhythms. This approach helps regulate the nervous system, supporting the release of stored tension and trauma while cultivating inner balance.

Seasonal Yoga provides a safe and nurturing space to process emotions somatically, allowing you to connect with your body's wisdom. This connection not only facilitates the release of trauma but also enables a more profound integration of therapeutic insights, creating a holistic foundation for personal growth and transformation.
