Therapy and Yoga Trainings
Some of the key trainings that I use in my therapy work include:
EMDR

Internal Family Systems Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Systemic (Family) Therapy (AFT accredited)
Sound & Movement
Ecopsychology
Womb / Yoni connection
Much of this learning has occurred whilst undertaking my clinical doctorate in clinical psychology and in additional training courses. However, the real depth of learning has occurred through applying, critiquing and exploring what I have learned through my relationships with others.
I have undertaken over 1000 hours of training in yoga (with non-dual Shaiva Tantra as a unifying philosophy), and untold hours of my own practice, which has been a lifeline to me since 2002. My influences have included numerous writers old and new, various fantastic teachers I have found amid my world travels (too many to list here), as well as the incredible fellow teachers & students I practice with in Bristol. Key teachers over longer periods of time are the ever-inspiring and heart-centred Sarah Harlow, the fountain of knowledge Christopher Gladwell, medicine woman Mollie Moon and soul enchanter Tahawa Eli. Further training has included work with Sophia Ansari around de-colonising yoga, Ambra Vallo around hands on teaching, and Dianne Bondy & Amber Karnes around making yoga accessible for all bodies.
