"The places in which we are seen and heard are holy places. They remind us of our value as human beings.
They give us the strength to go on."

This Belongs invites you to claim your space and experience deep empathic listening and support.
We all need to be seen, heard and deeply understood and the places where this happens for us are sacred spaces, yet all too rare.
Deep empathic listening and connection can fill a depleted emotional cup. As Thich Nhat Hahn said: “One hour of (deep) listening can bring transformation and healing”.
I provide a safe space to explore whatever is present for you in whatever way you need. You may already know exactly what this is, or you may require some support around this.
I am influenced by mindfulness practices, attachment theory, embodiment and nervous system regulation, neuroplasticity, non-violent communication and Gestalt and psychodrama techniques. I am social work trained and have done two years of Gestalt group work and a further two years of psychodrama training, as well as mindfulness meditation training.
