I'm a cardiology nurse with 30 years experience of working with people. My biggest interest is in personal growth and that has led me on a transformative journey. A long training in Sweden at BaraVara called "Training for life" gave me the passion to work in the field of counselling.
I keep adding to this some more useful tools for working with people who have had some trans generational and/or physical trauma.
As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) I have learnt to trust the bodys capacity to self regulate. By increased body awareness and the exploration of the language of the nervous system, the body can release stored tensions and recover from stress and trauma.
For more information about SE™ go to www.traumahealing.org
Family Constellations is another approach I use, which is presented more in detail on my webpage.
