Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy
Life’s not always easy, we all go through difficult periods and times when we want more from life than feels currently available. Sometimes we feel the need to talk to someone neutral, someone who’s not enmeshed in our lives, who can listen with fresh ears and give us space to unfold and work out what we need, so we can go forward feeling a greater sense of clarity and hope.
MY APPROACH
The type of psychotherapy I practice and am training in, is Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy, combining the physical practices, the grounding, the regulating tools and the self awareness that yoga brings with the safe space of therapy, the fresh listening ear and the time to unfold and gain insight. This is a combination that can hold you, help you to feel safe enough to shine a light into dark corners, release old wounds and enable you to find understanding, healing and hope.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION
Key to this type of therapy is that each session can be customised to the person, rather than the person customising themselves to fit the session. Integrative yoga psychotherapy allows me to meet you where you are. We can begin sitting and talking, moving and stretching or practicing a breathing technique. We can talk throughout the session or you can talk when you feel comfortable to do so, maybe at the end lying down in a relaxation. We can intersperse talking with moving, breathing practices and meditation. Many people find it easier to talk about things when they’re not sitting down and this type of therapy allows you to talk in a way that feels most comfortable to you. You’re welcome to talk about all aspects of your life, nothing is off the table.
THE BENEFITS OF INTEGRATIVE YOGA PSYCHOTHERAPY
This type of psychotherapy is about the whole person. As well as listening and creating space, I can offer you techniques for regulating your emotions and your nervous system, postures to help you feel stronger and more relaxed, breathing practices to help with confidence, digestion and sleep and exercises to help you feel more compassion and friendliness towards yourself. All areas of wellbeing can be looked at and addressed.
