"The longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches between your head and your heart"
Welcome into this space, the metaphorical 18inchesofdistance. My work begins here: 'in-between space', in the discomfort of uncertainty and the transition from 'here to there'.
I am not your regular therapist and this will not be a regular therapy session. I will not solve your problems for you, nor be prescriptive with solutions. In our space, I will invite you to... pause... and reflect, question and un-learn. In addition to my clinical expertise, we will use curiosity, critical thinking, uncertainty and liminality, atomic movements and moments. It will feel exhilarating, uncomfortable, uncertain, unchartered, ancient and new, filled with grind and possibility. In our busy world, a pause can be transformative, perhaps revolutionary.
'Not all speed is movement' (Toni Cade Bambara) Any forward momentum is propelled by minuscule insights, rather than grandiose 'epiphanies'.
My approach is a blend of philosophy, poststructural theory and intersectionality/ social justice, complemented by more traditional approaches (trauma informed, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness).
If 'therapy as usual' is not for you, connect with me. Together, we will walk the 18 inch distance between your head and your heart.
All that you touch, you change.
All that you change, changes you.
The only lasting truth is change.
