The following is a list of services that I provide, along with feedback
from clients,
to help you gain a better understanding of the benefits that you
will receive.
Together,
without judgment, we use various ways of exploring your experience:
| Dreamwork
|
Voice
Dialogue |
Sandplay |
Symbols
|
Drawing
and Mandala
(drawing done in a circle)
|
-
using Gestalt methods of identifying with dream symbols
you come to understand the amazing source of guidance available
to you when you dream. |
–
allows you to get in touch with the many selves that make
up your personality. By working with them in an active and
sometimes fun way you become conscious of exactly which
ones are running your life. |
–
by working using symbols placed in a sand tray, or by simply
working with the sand, you are given a very tactile and
visible overview of your current life issues. |
–
while you are no doubt aware of everyday symbols, such as
the red cross symbolizing medical aid, you will also become
aware of important personal symbols that can guide you to
explore new possibilities. |
-
considered to be a sacred space it allows your unconscious
to express itself in symbolic form. |
‘
The facilitation was gentle and nurturing yet I gained enormous
insight with seemingly simple yet powerful techniques.’
(Susan, 49) |
‘
The facilitation was fun, challenging and thought-provoking.
I am now aware of myself as a whole, made up of many parts
that are now sequenced better and I feel less stressed, more
relaxed.’
(Julia, 31) |
‘ The sandplay was more enlightening than
I ever could have imagined it would be. It not only brought
me through, but I discovered vastly more important things
that are going on in me that I hadn’t even noticed before!’
(L., 16) |
‘ The process allowed insights to arise
from within myself and I feel confident that will continue...I
was able to draw on more inner resources and understandings.’
(Gai, 52) |
‘
The art I did convinced me that I definitely need to do more
of it to get in touch with my spontaneity and creativity.’
(Jennifer) |
Using
these and many other methods helps you to:
| Explore
current issues and life patterns |
Release
hurts |
Gain
clarity around current and past relationships |
Discover
wonderful gifts. |
While
for each of us the rewards of such exploration are different,
they may include:
| More
energy |
Practical
life skills |
Better
health |
New
directions and possibilities |
A
sense of purpose or ‘rightness’ about your life
|
Better
relationships |
Above all you will have paid attention to the inner resources
that have always been available to you, yet untapped, and
learnt how to access them yourself. And so often in these
processes more is discovered on a spiritual level than you
now know is possible. Often too there flows into your life
warmth, humour and compassion for yourself and others. |
Who
would benefit from this therapy?
| ‘I
was a bit distressed and ‘all over the place’
when I started the group so the [work] shifted my focus and
the shift was a good start to de-stress and start the healing
process.’ (Jennifer) |
| ‘I
was experiencing confusion over past and present hurts and
fear about my ability to love. The facilitation was like an
adventure, challenging, exciting and bringing insight and
clarity. I feel as if I have lost a burden I have been carrying
for most of my life. I feel happier! I feel free to express
myself more fully in many areas of my personal and work life’
(Gai, 52) |
‘Carol,
I want to thank you for what you did for me. Your altruism
is something I have not experienced in a long time and it
was this, just as much as the sandplay, that gave me strength.
The transformation you brought me through amazed me. I have
never so quickly been from such a depressed state to such
a happy and carefree one.’
(L., 16) |
| ‘I
was struggling with a relationship breakup but quickly realized
that this was not the major cause of my stresses. The facilitation
was an amazing, motivating and rewarding experience. I experienced
myself as many things but ultimately appreciated myself for
who I really am. I am now enjoying life and trying not to
dwell on the past. My time with Carol has changed my life.
I am really appreciative of the experience and highly recommend
Carol.’ (Nicole, 33) |
| ‘I
was facing flatness, lethargy and discontent and experienced
myself as dazed – disconnected from my day to day self.
The facilitation was MAGICAL, it just flowed. The gift to
me has been a deepening of everyday experience, a resurgence
of joy and new insights into myself.’ (Ruth, 78) |
| ‘I
was struggling with comprehending the direction my husband
and I are going. Carol is an independent source of objective
feedback that allowed me to better understand the path. The
gift to me has been being conscious of my different personalities
and calling upon them when necessary but never forgetting
who I am.’ (Kim, 36) |
| ‘I
was facing the ‘most terrible experience of my life’
– losing my husband. The gift to me was to experience
myself as a stronger person than I thought I was. I now know
I have so many strengths that I can draw on. Carol kept me
on track when I seemed to drift. She is warm and gentle and
the facilitation was well guided.’ (Melinda, 32) |
Additional
comments:
| ‘It
was a fantastic facilitation, development of trust and confidence,
rediscovering my sense of joy.’ |
| ‘A
very worthwhile experience – I feel great!’ |
From
individual clients:
| ‘
Carol is able to help you find the KEY to your further development
and growth. She has a deep respect for the individual’s
journey and is completely non-judgmental. I like that as it
allows you freedom to explore at your own pace.’ |
| ‘Heartfelt
thanks for your work. I hope I have conveyed how much you
have helped me and how much more love and joy I feel and less
shame and confusion.’ |
| ‘I
have just been offered a job. I start at the end of next month.
I would not have been in a position to take the job without
your counselling sessions. Thank you very much. I feel like
I have a whole new lease on life and it feels great.’
