My Approach
My approach has its anchor in integrative psychotherapy, and navigates 20 years of personal study and curiosity in healing and spirituality, as well as 25 years of travel, adventure and cross-cultural communication, giving me a perspective on life that is formed by many angles and orientations.I have a particular interest in the brain-body connection, biography work, how the nervous system develops through childhood and how it receives support and regulation now as an adult. These lead to an approach that is attachment-informed and trauma-informed, allowing for my work to support the whole person in therapy, healing, integration, regulation and transformation.
My work is supported by many trainings in movement, dance, brain games, meditation, breathwork, psychotherapy (integrative and attachment-informed EMDR), creativity and biography, all of which empower and enable me to understand and develop the self-care practices and emotional literacy which now form the tools and resources I draw from and offer in my work.In session, all of this becomes a foundation from which I offer empathic presence and dedicated attention to you on your journey, providing guidance where asked for, and witness where needed and offering tools and practices which are aligned to your goals and wishes, supporting long-lasting and empowering change and transformation.
The name 'Braynewaves' is a play on my surname and my passion for the brain, and for understanding and supporting brainwave functionality (especially Theta) through intuition, meditation, connection, conversation, curiosity and exploration. Theta is the brainwave dominant in dreams and REM sleep, which is where our brain and body digest the day's experiences and integrate them for development and learning (as children and as adults!). In trauma or stress, this can often get interrupted (notice how when you haven't slept much, functionality day-to-day becomes quite difficult?). Having an integrative approach to psychotherapy and EMDR therefore aims to support and nourish this process, and help you get back on track in a way that works for you.
I work predominantly online (with some hours available in person in Norwich, UK) and welcome you to get in touch if you resonate and wish to see what happens when we work together.
