Cartography of the Soul
The meaning of the word psyche has shifted. Once it meant soul; in modern times it has come to mean mind. I use it in the more traditional sense. The work can include diagnosis and therapeutic buzzwords, but it begins before, it asks the soul what it needs to say and then listens.
We live in a culture that asks us to be productive, coherent, healthy and in control, often encouraging us to push away whatever feels difficult, contradictory or unwanted.
My work begins from a different premise: that there is value in making space for the whole person. That in fact that is where true freedom lies.
You might come because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, divided against yourself, caught in patterns you don't understand, or simply because something in your life no longer feels right. You don't need to arrive with a clear diagnosis or a neatly defined problem. We can begin with whatever is actually present.
At the heart of this work is individuation: allowing the unique individual to emerge unashamed.
There can be something very freeing in this — not only in becoming more fully yourself, but in no longer needing other people to be anything other than themselves and deciding what the relationship will be.
The seven sessions have an overarching form, exploring the undoing, and moving towards the becoming. Though the sessions remain open and responsive to what is present in the room on the day.
