- A Powerful Therapeutic Approach -

RECONNECTION weaves contemporary advances in neuropsychology with ancient knowledge and practice.

We will explore your interior worlds through a blend of evidence-based somatic, neuropsychological & psychotherapeutic techniques combined with ancient wisdom sourced from Tantric and Taoist traditions.

Our sessions will combine deep inquiry into your current and past relationship habits with active transformative practices and meditations. We will consolidate new ways of relating with embodied somatic experiences.

Somatic experience is a highly effective method of grounding intentional change into your nervous system. It provides a lived experience template for future growth, which when combined with conscious direction allows deep transformation to occur.

Peak transformation occurs with repetition. Intentionally repeated somatic experience rewires your neurological pathways so that you automatically choose to act from your desires rather than your fears.

The powerful transformations experienced during sessions are integrated into your nervous systems with gentle release and meditation practices between sessions.

Reconnection engages a therapeutic approach that recognises your inherent wisdom, allowing you to be the experts in your relationship.

Together we will take a journey that supports your relationship to repair and thrive.

• How is somatic relationship psychotherapy different to life coaching or relationship therapy?

  Somatic psychotherapy involves an active investigation of your focus issues.

  We will identify relationship goals, and work with current and past issues as they arise.

  The majority of time in a somatic psychotherapy session is spent doing focused exploration, skill building, embodied transformational practices and personalised guided meditations. Somatic psychotherapy uses both the mind and the body to access and transform your personal and relationship issues.

  My experience in both counselling, psychotherapy, somatic sex, love & relationship coaching & somatic experiencing allows me to combine traditional relationship therapy, psychotherapeutic techniques, skill building, and mental health care with the added support of coaching.

  Relationship Therapy includes many different styles of talk psychotherapy, and relationship counselling.

  Relationship therapy can support you though a relationship crisis, help you to gain new perspectives, and learn supportive techniques for managing your relationship.

  Life coaching supports you to identify, plan and meet goals with the support of a trained guide.

• How will we know if Reconnection is for us?

  I am happy to offer you individual or joint intake session(s) so that we can meet each other, explore your presenting issues, and you can ask me any initial questions about what to expect in the therapeutic process.

• What if my partner is non-committal or resistant to working on our relationship together?

• If your partner is resistant to working through your relationship issues together, we can still work on your side of the relationship! I have supported many people to make changes in their relationships without ever having met their partners.

  My individual clients report experiencing satisfying changes in both their personal and relational lives.

  I suggest you consider my THRIVE program that is designed for individuals who are keen to work on their relationships and general life satisfaction.
