Transpersonal Psychotherapist
Welcome to recentreme.com
I am a Transpersonal Psychotherapist with many years of experience in the mental health field.
This site is here to help guide you and understand more about the therapy I offer, either face to face or online.
It can be difficult knowing where to begin with therapy. Please know that you are taking a step toward freedom just by intending to make a change.
"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there." Rumi.
Transforming the psyche through the Alchemical Journey
The Alchemical journey can be used as metaphor- a way to help us to see that we can transform our negative behaviours and unhelpful patterns (the lead of our being) into gold-the gold meaning a more fulfilling and enriching life. Moving
from a sense of feeling heavy or weighed down by life to lightness or freedom.
Jung called this 'alchemy of the psyche'.
He was talking about the very nature of our being that can change and adapt throughout life's challenges. This way of thinking gives us a road map so we can gain a sense of agency when life's challenges threaten to overwhelm us.
We can reframe it and understand much more about how we can develop the skills to overcome the challenges that life may have dealt. My work with individuals keeps this very much in mind as part of the process.It's a wonderful way to examine where we are at in life and where we need to balance out different elements.It is a way to keep in mind we are all on a journey and constantly evolving, even when we believe we are stuck.
"You were born with wings, why try to crawl through life?" Rumi
Recentre me
Being centred is essential to an individual becoming whole and integrated.
Often through life's challenges we can become thrown off balance. Therapy can help steer us back to our centre- to feel whole again and more complete, where we might previously have been feeling empty, confused or disconnected.
I have found that one of the most important aspects of working alongside people is the capacity for compassion and the more relational aspects of therapy. That's is to say encountering a space where you feel safe, heard, understood is imperative to healing and achieving wellness and a happier life. building the relationship is key.
With that in mind the therapy process naturally unfolds and evolves, it is an organic process of self discovery, a journey.
"Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that have built against it." Rumi.
One of the most difficult things about starting therapy is just starting!
So, if you are in distress, not sure where to turn, or if you are feeling lonely, in need of a safe space to just be. Please know that however difficult it has been to reach out, that you are now beginning a process to alleviate the suffering and pain you might be currently experiencing. Whether that's depression, anxiety, grief, loss, bereavement, abuse, or just feeling bewildered, deflated by life.
I offer a compassionate and safe space to talk. I will walk alongside you in the process of self discovery. Anyone and everyone welcome.ie inclusivity around race, gender, sexuality or age is important to me.

UKCP Registered.
Therapist, Group Facilitator, Mentor.
I have 30 years of experience in the field of personal development. I am trained as a UKCP registered transpersonal psychotherapist.
The Transpersonal way of working is a holistic style. it aims to encompass all aspects of a person's life, mind, body and soul.
It is also 'integral' which means the therapy integrates several different levels of psychotherapy from different levels of understanding.
It encompasses the pre-personal, personal and the transpersonal levels of human development and capacity to evolve. This was defined initially by Wilber whose philosophy on how humans evolve has expanded the breadth of knowledge in this field considerably.
Integral aims to blend the traditional psychodynamic style, the humanistic, with the more spiritual aspects of the transpersonal.
I offer an integrative way of working because it gives flexibility and versatility, so we are able to traverse different levels of awareness.
I like to work creatively too so art can be part of the way we work, or gestalt, or dream work, IFS, )internal family systems), or energy psychotherapy, energetically.
