More than Western psychology

Working with the whole person…and with fierce compassion

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes"

Carl Jung

My
approach

The whole person

  • I work with you in a way that embraces your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing
  • We explore your challenges in a broad life, history and spiritual context
  • I work with you as the whole person, not just your work or family or other persona
  • I provide support to you non-judgmentally, as an individual

When working with Linda I felt accepted and valued and this encouraged me to flex my creative muscles and challenge myself. I felt braver, because I knew that any decision I made would be supported by her and my intuition and feeling responses to the world would be seen as part of my skills and talents. She helped me see that too.

We need to go deeper, broader and more intuitively to find our answers

Whilst training, I realised that a Western approach to psychology is not enough:

  • I suffered my own health and mental wellbeing challenges in my 20’s – and this inspired me to find a more holistic “whole person” approach to healing the mind and body
  • I began with yoga and meditation and trained in several holistic therapies
  • I studied the ideas of Carl Jung – personality differences, archetypes, our unconscious and how we are all connected – all of these enrich my practice so much today
  • Exploring imagery, journaling, your dreams and creativity are all welcome in my practice
  • I do not offer holistic therapies explicitly, but their wisdom and tools inform my approach
  • I may suggest practices to support your therapeutic journey…perhaps the hand gestures (mudras) of traditional Indian pathways to the mind, or a particular essential oil, a meditation or a breathing practice

Sometimes it isn’t practical for you to come to my therapy space, or you may just wish for me to come to you. This can work well for couples and families and for individuals who have private and calm space to meet. If you are on retreat, or taking a break away from the everyday, this can be a wonderful time to focus on your challenges can help you to make the best of your time for you.

I create workshops on particular challenges, such as self-compassion, menopause, relationships, wellbeing. I create a space for individuals to come together, be curious and to explore in a relaxed and supportive way. Together, we explore emotional, physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing. We establish meaning and purpose, values and life plans.

Please enquire about upcoming workshops

Ceremony and facilitation

I create ceremony for any life event that has meaning for you. It is very personal to you – and is to celebrate, heal or recognise significant life events. It can be for you alone or involving others. I create ceremony in a non-religious context, in psychological safety. I draw inspiration from the natural world, time honoured rituals and the Celtic circle of life

Sometimes, self-help can be the right place to start – or to support your therapeutic journey You are able to work on yourself at your own pace, using tools I have created from decades of experience helping people to reflect and grow

Insight assessments

I offer a series of psychometric and self-assessment tools, which can provide powerful information towards your life decisions. Understanding your personality, fundamental motivations and values can inform better life and career choices. Exploring the mysterious deep well where the universal stories and dramas of our human lives dwell through archetypes can be life affirming and transforming. Assessments are carried out online, on their own or as part of your work with me

Sometimes young people are confused, under pressure and not able to see the way forward that feels right for them. I work with young adults who are facing big decisions and who want to make the best choices possible.

Together, we unpick and unravel, and piece things together to make sense of their challenges and options. I help young adults make better decisions and feel confident in their choices. I offer online insight tools – either as self-help or as part of a series of meetings with me, to inform and empower individuals in their ambitions. In a family context – I work with your young adult to communicate and appreciate different perspectives and to build understanding.
