Therapeutic Coaching

Therapeutic coaching sessions are structured around your intentions. For many people this usually includes expanding awareness and insight into your current issues, resolving any past traumas (big or small, simple or complex), dealing with problematic issues in the present and for visioning transfomative change and personal growth into the future.

Therapy and coaching combine powerfully together in this blended, IFS based, person centred approach that integrates from a variety of modalities.

Therapeutic Coaching is a core approach in itself but can also be integrated with the expressive arts and/or shamanism and/or nature based work - please see the offerings below.

Creative coaching offers the additional dimensions of using expressive art and the psychospiritual/transpersonal as both therapy and practice for healing, exploration, growth and transformation.

We work from a base of IFS therapy and integrate from the expressive arts, meaning that no prior experience is required. You do not have to be able to draw, write, paint… all that is needed is the desire to express your creativity and an openess to explore and unlock your latent talents.

However if you are already an accomplished artist, designer or other creative in your field, therapeutic coaching offers the potential to go much deeper into your practice, find new inspiration and release any problematic blocks and constraints that no longer serve you.

Creative coaching sessions take place online or can be face-to-face by arrangement in an art studio setting, with access to visual art materials and clay as mediums of expression.

Therapeutic coaching with shamanism is a psychospiritual approach to therapy and coaching that weaves core shamanic practices together with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.

Core shamanic techniques are a transpersonal, spiritual framework of methodologies to integrate ideas and access resources from beyond the usual limits of human existence and personal identity. Many people find these techniques facilitate a deepening and expanding of personal, ancestral, collective and community healing and invite a whole mind and body integrative experience.

Evidence shows that spirituality can significantly help people prevent and recover from mental and physical ill health and enhance all areas of their daily life. Core shaminism is not a religious practice, and the techniques from this approach are independent of any specific spiritual, religious or cultural tradition. As such they can be used to compliment, deepen and expand any existing spiritual dimension of your life in whatever way feels important and right to you.

Nature based coaching takes place either online outdoors or can be face-to-face by arrangement as a ‘walk and talk’ in nature. In these sessions we use the natural world as both container and mirror for the therapeutic work.
