PSYCHOTHERAPY

Process Oriented Psychology aka Process Work: This is a holistic psychotherapeutic approach that suggests our unconscious material can be experienced physically, interpersonally or environmentally. It is a post-Jungian paradigm exploring not only your thoughts, beliefs, memories, experiences and dreams but also body symptoms. Process work is unique in its ability to use your bodily sensations as a doorway to enter your unconscious mind. Walking through this doorway is the path to your innate wholeness. This is not a process of hypnosis nor anything it like it, it’s more about the deepest parts of yourself communicating with you through tension patterns, pain, and other body signals – I can help you translate the messages contained in these experiences.

Process Work draws from Taoism, shamanism and physics to harmonise your rational mind with your deepest essence. This kind of internal harmony is the key to embodying your personal power. Process Work helps you develop personal awareness and befriend your repressed thoughts, emotions and experiences that negatively affect your everyday life to create freedom. Although this work can be used to help individuals manage internal conflict, it can also be used to promote leadership skills or resolve social conflicts between small and large groups.

I am registered with the Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia.

 

COACHING

Recovery and Wellness Coaching: This paradigm is a solution-focused, results-oriented, systematic modality in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of performance, self-directed learning and personal growth of individuals and groups. The essence of it is to support you to rebuild recovery capital in the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual areas of life. Working together, we develop a personalised recovery plan in line with your unique goals, dreams and aspirations.

Where therapy can often be backward looking (e.g. dealing with your past), coaching is often forward looking (e.g. supporting the expression of your goals and then making them achievable). Together these modalities can move seamlessly between past, present and future to express your goals, remove your blockages and make them actually achievable.

I am an internationally certified coach.

 

PAIN MANAGEMENT & BODY SYMPTOM EXPLORATION

I love supporting my clients to shift their pain. I am a trauma specialist who supports people with all kinds of pain, whether it is emotional, spiritual or physical. I found out that I have a natural gift for supporting people with physical pain without medical explanation. I have helped many clients with:

  • Chronic back pain

  • Headaches, migraines unpleasant pressure in the head

  • Nausea, stomach aches & pains

  • Knee pain

  • Chest pain

Usually sentences like:

“It’s all in your head.”

“Your pain is psychosomatic”

“Your pain has no medical cause.”

Can sound judgemental and leave you feeling frustrated, alone and confused.

The truth is that many types of pain and other body sensations can be traced to disturbances with your mental and emotional states. This is a normal and natural part of human life and is not something that deserves harsh judgement. I specialise in supporting people who experience all kinds of pain and anguish and am especially good at resolving chronic and intermittent pain.

Even though I am well-trained and highly experienced, I work without technical jargon. I really listen to you and take the time to deeply understand you as a person in order to work out what you need. I am currently enrolled to complete my specialisation in trauma work using the modality Somatic Experiencing.

 

COUPLES/ RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

One of the keys to freedom from trauma is establishing resources that support you to regulate.

SCORPION WORK

Scorpion work is deep, explorative work using different modalities to uncover the hidden aspects of yourself existing in the unseen realms.

The scorpion has significance in the mythologies of many cultures. They have been associated with the cycle of death and re-birth. For example, in ancient Egypt the scorpion is associated with the goddess, Selket. Similarly, certain African myths tie the scorpion to the cycle of death and life and associate their sting with healing. In Greek mythology a scorpion was used to meet out Divine justice to Orion for his boastfulness.

Scorpion Work blends ancient wisdom and tools of self-exploration with modern psychotherapeutic techniques and training. For spiritually-oriented clients these sessions use cards and other tools for shamanic divination to support me opening myself up as a vessel for Spirit to work through me as I work with you. This type of session offers you a safe space to uncover or discover things that may support you on your journey. Our connection with Spirit isn’t just mediated through priests or sages, but through ourselves as it is our birthright. Once you remove the blockages that have kept you feeling separate from Spirit, you are able to restore your own unique relationship to the Divine. Relationship with the divine isn’t just for religious people, but to anyone who is ready to connect with their own unique power.

“The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.”

Carl Jung, Letters (1973).

These sessions are sculpted around the intention of unfolding of your unique experience to begin to heal the past and equip you to move forward.

“Sandy, thank you for facilitating a safe space during my Scorpion Work session. It helped me discover things & gave me the ability to release something that no longer supported me.
It was a wonderful experience & Sandy’s knowledge & care made me feel safe & confident in her hands.
I would highly recommend Sandy. ”
