Welcome to the launch of Soul Repair - a new more flexible way to engage in psychotherapy.

Introduction to your counsellor

This space is a home for virtual online psychotherapy and I am your virtual counsellor. I work from a holistic framework, using my skills as counsellor, performance director and nutritionist. These three aspects of soul constantly intersect with Soul Repair’s therapeutics and your overall mental health.

As you can see on the Services page I work one-on-one, or in discussion groups, and / or with text responses to short queries. This ongoing engagement will regularly offer ideas and pathways that might help you in the areas of your soul’s wellbeing.

My background qualifications include the performing arts, psychotherapy and health, and the blog will include some unknown secrets to common illness problems.

To work holistically means to use a variety of tools on a case-by-case basis. Some therapy involves practical skills and practice while other people’s stories are seeking conceptual help; clarity, meaning and finding a greater purpose as they go forward.

Due to many years as a stage and screen actress I have some clients who are in the acting profession and their issues are very familiar to me. These sessions are sometimes viewed from a performance philosophy and with an artistic sensibility.

‍Introduction to counselling

To have yourself witnessed - heard in your time and space - can heal and drive you to a fuller sense of self and purpose.

Commonly, talk therapy commences with some fear and resistance to change. Then discussions about relationships and the external world can begin. Sometimes clients will talk about themselves objectively but overtime greater ease  in using the “I” word is found. This then allows for deeper emotions to be expressed.

As the therapeutic relationship grows in trust; the client grows in decision-making abilities; taking responsibility for their actions in relationship. Greater autonomy and  agency can be found. (CDC6-Casemore. 2011. AIPC)

‍Introduction to the three layers of care

Repairing our Soul involves these three layers of care, MIND, BODY and the SPIRIT. We'll unpack each of these in more detail in separate blog posts.

In the meantime, I'd like to thank you for coming on this journey - I'm looking forward to providing you with this service in the months and years to come.
