The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved.
It simply wants to be witnessed...exactly as it is.”
Parker Palmer
​
​
The human soul, as resilient and wonderful as it is, can sometimes also get hit by challenges and difficulties life presents.
​
This might show up in the form of the loss of a loved one, feeling disconnected from the people you love, never feeling good enough, not feeling secure in relationships, finding it hard to express your opinion and your boundaries to others, constant worrying, feeling anxious, nervous and lonely, constant struggles with energy levels, unpleasant physical symptoms, feeling depressed, or feeling controlled by things that happened in the past.
​
I work with a wide range of areas, such as trauma, attachment styles, relationship with self and others, relationship difficulties, bereavement, depression and anxiety, stress management, mindfulness and sexual abuse and violence.
This by no means is a comprehensive list and just as people's characters are very individual, so too are their challenges in life.

Kind words...
"Stephanie employs a variety of therapeutic modalities and is really skilled in getting to the core of the issue. I love how she brings in regulation techniques that I can use outside of the session, this is really empowering because she teaches that the tools are within & can be accessed anytime rather than external. She also frames our work within a wider treatment plan so I can make much more progress within a short period of time in comparison to other therapists I have worked with.
EMDR practices are new to me but I find they have been really helpful in creating more distance from trauma and I am able to explore a lot of unhelpful thought patterns & associations in a way that traditional 'talk' therapy does not facilitate.
I highly recommend Stephanie"

It is important to me to offer a balance between mind and body, emotional processing, meaning-making and nervous system regulation.
Expressive Arts
​
“Art is the meeting ground of the world inside and the world outside.”
Elinor Ulman
Using expressive arts in therapy is not about creating a beautiful image or having great skills.
It's a very powerful way to communicate from deep within. Things, which are difficult to express with words often can find their expression through images.
I hold a Professional Diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy and am delighted to offer this approach to my clients if they wish.
“It is difficult to convey in words the depth and power of the expressive arts process. Really, you must taste it to understand it.”
Natalie Rogers, PhD.
First steps can be difficult.
