embodied understanding

Welcome to embodied understanding. This website is here to help you find your own way to wellness, comfort and calm.

embodied understanding is when understanding is felt as well as known. An alignment of head, heart and nervous system. You live your truth; feeling, acting and speaking in a way that makes sense to you.

So many times, we think we know something, perhaps it is logical, or obvious, or we feel we should know. We tell ourselves to respond in one way but our body, or our nervous system does its own thing. Cognitive intelligence is part of the picture but not the whole story; many people come to therapy because they want to feel differently.

The type of therapy I offer does not just focus on what you know, but on how you feel. When our truth and understanding of others and the world is embodied, our thoughts, feelings and behaviour feel authentic. You will feel a stronger you and act in a way that is true to yourself.

Find what is right for you, understand what works for you, and embody your understanding.

My upbringing straddled different cultures and different world views. In my work I have come across so many family cultures, ethnic cultures, different experiences and points of views. Our experiences shape us, they can inform us and sometimes they can cage us. I believe we can shape our experiences too to some extent.

I began my training in 2006 as a psychotherapist and counsellor, and qualified in 2010 working for my local NHS service, MIND counselling service, and later Marches Counselling Service. I work with people 18+ in private practice, in the NHS and through a charity. I also work as a supervisor of other counsellors and psychotherapists, privately and in charities and the in NHS.

In 2017 I began teaching counselling and psychotherapy at Diploma, Masters and Doctorate level with Listening Post, University of South Wales and BCPC. I have been training manager for a number of different organisations and worked with BACP accredited course division and UKCP colleges to provide quality modern training. I believe in helping to shape the next generation of psychotherapists and counsellors.

I am aware how hard the first step of contacting me might be. I do not charge for the initial conversation as I believe it is so important that you find the right person for you.
