Counselling and Psychotherapy
​
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Northumberland
Beginning with the Body
As part of psychotherapy, I offer the option of a non-touch body oriented approach which helps you to develop awareness of your self through sensation and explore through movement. This may be guided or I may be simply an attentive witness to this process in you, without interpretation.
​
This approach is informed by Authentic Movement, a practice developed by Mary Whitehouse, Janet Adler, Tina Stromsted and others, with roots in Jungian active imagination.
​
In this way you can engage with your way of experiencing the world, often lodged non-verbally, deep in the unconscious.
​
This approach supports your capacity to connect with the great, instinctive resources for adaptation which your body contains, to regulate your emotions, to lay down new neurological experiences and embody a new sense of self based on safety, integration and connection.
