From time to time, I find it helpful to go back to basics. Here are some points you may find it worthwhile to reflect upon:
- Acknowledge how good you already are!
- Consider why you do this work, and what you most like and dislike about it.
- Measure your skills by the results you get not just by your paper qualifications.
- Remember that some qualities are measurable, and some are not. Assess the importance and relevance of both.
- Consider the relative importance and roles of personal qualities and technical skills.
- How does your life experience impact on your work?
- What innate skills do you have? What do you enjoy and are naturally good at?
- Consider Boundaries. Psychotherapists, Facilitators and Coaches are sometimes expected to be jacks of all trades. What are your skills and when should you refer a client and/or co-work with a practitioner whose skills complement and/or enrich yours?
- Sometimes Facilitation can be stressful. Learning to recognise what causes you stress & what you can do to turn stressful and potentially stressful situations into constructive learning experiences can benefit your health and enhance your effectiveness.
- What works for one person may not work for another. I believe that it is important to discover answers for yourself which is why my work is experiential.
- Some of our inner strengths and resources, as well as the factors that limit our effectiveness, are often hidden and may require skilled help to access.
In my work I help you discover (a) your inner strengths and resources, (b) the barriers to your full potential, and (c) how to understand and deal effectively with stressful and emotional issues.
I draw on my training in somatic psychotherapy, developmental psychology, counselling and the fundamentals of structural dynamics, as well as my work and life experience, to enable you to
- turn stressful situations into constructive learning experiences,
- improve your health
- enrich your work and your life.
I am available for individual and couples sessions, sessions with parents and teenagers, supervision for therapists, and public and in-house workshops.
