About Me
I’m an advanced student in Process Orientated Psychotherapy (or Process Work) and registered with the Gender Intelligence Network for Therapists and Counsellors. Being an ethical therapist is central to my work, I am accredited as a trainee psychotherapist with the UKCP (United Kingdom Counselling and Psychotherapy) and work within their code of ethics.
Process Work is a dynamic and systemic approach to understanding and facilitating individual and collective change. It was initially developed by Arnie Mindell in Zurich in the 70’s and has grown to be used in diverse fields such as 1:1 therapy, couples therapy, group work, conflict facilitation, organisational development, theatre and the arts to name a few.
There are many sides to Process Work though one of its main tenets is the concept that every conflict, issue or disturbance holds the seeds to its own solution or way forward. Process work is also useful in undertanding complex dynamics orientated around power, privilege and diversity.
I have trained with Cardboard Citizens in London, learning ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ (Augusto Boal). Theatre of the oppressed uses theatre as a tool for individual and social change. I bring these skills to my facilitation, whether devising scenes to explore difficult topics, creating games to explore relationships or finding fun ways for groups to get to know each other and much more.
I feel passionate about sharing our personal and collective histories as a way of building cohesion and strength within communities.
I currently support organisations and communities along with the themes of class and race.
