Along with teaching yoga and being a Yoga Therapist (with 12 years experience) I am also a qualified Integrative Yoga Psychotherapist accredited by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists ….. but what exactly does all this mean?

It means I offer a unique approach to wellbeing which is seated in psychotherapy and neuroscience, but enriched by yoga, mindfulness, breathwork and other holistic traditions.

I am client led with an approach that is humanistic at source.  I listen deeply and ensure I establish a relationship of trust, empathy and non judgement.  In the work we do together I may integrate talking therapy with body based techniques such as movement and breathwork to support healing on every level: physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual.

I have deep seated respect and gentle curiosity for your story and help create a space to enable you to change old patterns of thought, behaviours, feelings and relationships, both with yourself and others. I help you make new choices in and for your life.

This is about witnessing your experiences and recognising your resilience; supporting you to retrace what it means for you to feel at home with yourself, with all parts of you truly aligned.

I am especially focussed on helping clients move from the hyper vigilant stress response towards a greater sense of peace, inner strength, authenticity and fulfilment, using research-driven methods alongside a personal approach to the client’s unique experience.

I work to relieve a broad spectrum of challenges such as:

• Stress, anxiety and depression
• Low self esteem and doubt
• Connection with other people
• Insomnia, exhaustion and burnout
• Social anxiety
• Grief and loss
• Shame, guilt, emotional wounds
• Trauma recovery
• PTSD
• Eating Disorders and Addiction
• Recovery from abuse
• Challenges in relationships
• Being stuck, finding meaning in life and direction
• Life transitions such as divorce, career, new parenthood, retirement
• Relationship challenges
• Health issues including cancer recovery, auto-immune disorders, diabetes, heart disease

Whilst much of my work is body based I may also include philosophical concepts from Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, including Buddhism and Yoga as well as psycho education about neuroscience.

I honour your needs with gentle enquiry encouraging you to explore your inner work with empathy, curiosity and self compassion, moving as slowly and gently as required in the moment.  The internal shifts that occur within you will be deep and long lasting.

The work is far reaching and very much tailored to what you feel you would like to achieve to lead a more fulfilled, enjoyable, peaceful and meaningful life.

Why not give me a call for a chat about how I might be able to help you? 

I believe that we have one life and it is never too late to change and grow and find a new sense of freedom from the constraints of the mind.

Every journey of a thousand miles starts with one step!!  Perhaps this is your opportunity to take that first step ….

I look forward to chatting to you …and meanwhile leave you with a testimonial from one of my recent clients:

“Judith took time to really put me at ease and fully understand my past and the areas that I wished to work on.

Through the weeks I learnt to calm myself through meditation and mindfulness and find a place in me  where I could really assess my thoughts and create a pause ,.

I learnt practises to make better , wiser decisions and understand my feelings and emotions .

I discovered better understanding that change comes from within and that my past traumas and relationships do not define me .

I cried a lot as trauma was unearthed but I gained an inner strength to grow and learnt new ways to be happy.

I was regularly getting overwhelmed with health anxiety since a child and I can now have a much better perspective and  the tools to self calm , reason and not panic.

 I now have the ability to create boundaries in friendship and family circles and have much more self confidence and worth. 

I can honestly say it has changed my life and I am eternally grateful for this wonderful opportunity” Client from Lyme Bay
