Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain. Carl Jung

Clay Field Therapy©
Clay Field Therapy is a specific way of working with clay for the resolution of Trauma. It is a sensori-motor art therapy approach which is incorporates the most up-to-date neuroscientific understanding of Trauma. It offers a safe and sound method for the resolution of Trauma which is increasingly validated by research.
The regressive quality of clay in a guided therapeutic process allows the client to address and repair early attachment issues, developmental setbacks and traumatic events in a very safe and mostly non-verbal way. The skilled 'bottom-up' approach neutralises the intensity of the effects of trauma in the body and facilitates neurological repair making it easier to work through issues in a thorough manner which precludes the possibility of retraumatisation.
Art Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents
The art psychotherapy process addresses developmental issues and helps work through the effects of various traumas, hurts, losses and challenges.
The initial consultation is with parents or carers. In this session the therapeutic needs of the child or teenager are discussed. Information that will be useful to the therapy is gathered and a system for feedback and liaising with parents and relevant others is organised. Therapy usually takes place weekly. The duration of therapy depends on the nature of the unique needs of the young person.

Reflexive Supervision For Professional Practice
The practice of Reflexive Supervision is increasingly recognised and adopted as a valuable wellbeing resource by a wide range of professionals.
This is a modern approach to professional support which offers a safe and non-judgemental forum for professionals from various backgrounds to stand back and reflect on all aspects of their work. It is a process that helps connect to and sustain the energy to grow and thrive in your professional practice and to prevent burnout.
Reflexive Supervision is designed to help:
· Enhance our emotional intelligence and our capacity to accurately resonate with the emotions of those we work with.
· Reduce the risk of burnout through processing the impact on us of the emotions of those we work with.
· Increase our access to the theoretical knowledge-base of our own profession.
· Decrease the risk that we simply impose our own emotional struggles and dilemmas on those we work with.
· Develop our practical skills and design more accurate interventions of greater use to those we work with.
· Limit the potential for silo-type thinking by re-connecting to our own source and to the collective wisdom that exists across professions.
Individual and Group Reflexive Supervision is offered.
