Have you seen any of these professionals before, psychologists, psychiatrists, energy healers or coaches and find you are not getting the outcome you want?
This is where I come in. I work beyond the mind (CBT) into the root cause of why we are getting the outcomes in our lives that are causing us pain and suffering.
A client centred approach that supports your own self discovery so that you gain confidence, clarity, direction and tools you can use for the rest of your life.
Your Inner Wisdom is expressed through your sensory system such as talk, movement, art, somatic and imagery (visual). I guide you with questions, psychoeducation (therapeutic tools and topics) and holding a nurturing space for you to express challenges and emotions that come up when you’re processing and resolving those challenges.
My approach to working with you is non diagnostic, where I believe our challenges in life whether health related, relationship or career are symptoms of underlying energy blocks, beliefs and stories in the mind and body that stem from our upbringing.
I follow your process and signals so you feel deeply heard, understood and sense of resolve with topics that you bring to therapy so you can take action from this awareness and change your life. We always ground the learning into your life.
The holistic approach I take is Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit.

DOWNLOAD THIS HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR TRIGGERS GUIDE
Have you heard the words such as:
"they are triggered"
"that's a trauma repsonse"
"that's your trauma"
"you are repsonsible for your emotions"
When we are upset, fearful, anxious, depressed or feeling emotionally vulnerable and fragile there's often a reason for this. Something in our enviornment or relationships has triggered a phsiological repsonse in our nervous system.
You can work with your triggers so they no longer have power and control over you. Giving you the chance to thrive in life and create healthy habits.

Client Feedback
Why did you choose to work with me?
The holistic practice you offered suited my style and needs both in my need for therapy/healing and life change.
I also felt safe with you.
How did working with me benefit you?
Opened my thinking to explore my behaviours in different ways. Gave me a deeper understanding about my body's physical response to trauma and stressors.
How can you use what you have learnt in your everyday life?
I am putting it into practise most days. Following my vision for the life I'm creating. Acknowledging and listening to my body in response to stress. Feeling more empowered by my choices and less worried about others opinions of how I live.
I've already met the most wonderful groups of diverse like minded people.
Thank you, you are an inspiration Thelma.
After 4 Sessions Working With Me
"The one on one sessions really focussed on my needs and concerns. You helped me address feelings and beliefs that were holding me back from moving forward. It was like you gently removed a veil that was obscuring my view of the world.
I have been shown a positive direction to move forward into. I’m armed with strategies and tools to use when feelings or situations present that have the potential to block my progress. You also showed me how to accept certain feelings that are ok to feel and also how to use them to my advantage.
I have a greater understanding of the values that are most important to me and how to build on the strength I have to make them a focus in my life. I understand that identifying goals is important for my personal and professional growth and satisfaction and I can achieve and have anything if I allow myself to."
After 1 Session.
"I found Thelma’s questions not only interesting and engaging, but was also asked questions I had never been asked before, including being asked by myself. Of particular note, was Thelma pointing out a particular habit/technique I use to heal myself emotionally and or physically. It is something I have previously not noticed that I did. This will give me cause for much attention and reflection. My time with Thelma was enlightening, seamless and constructive.
On Thelma’s suggestion, I can use this technique in stressful situations at work. This something I feel will be something of real value and utility for me. "
