General information

I see our work together very much as a collaboration, in which kindness plays a key part. I feel and explore your experience with you, so that you feel truly met, and are able to relax and open to a sense of wholeness and safety beyond any limitations, traumas, or sorrows. Through gentle probing and sensitive questioning, through guiding you into a deeper experiencing of your body's 'felt sense', through a sharing of insights that arise between us, I facilitate you into a deepening awareness of your own life.

My perspective is one in which I recognise a ground of being in us all, which is unchanging and ever present. It is infinitely kind, and is the source from which all our potential arises. From it too comes that subtle sense of 'I am-ness' which has been there from the moment we were born.

I create a safe space for you to feel into your feelings, and as you meet them, you may discover a new sense of freedom and aliveness within your life. Feelings, once acknowledged, are self-liberating, and fuel us into greater wholeness. It is only while we run from them, that they trip us up and trap us.

We will explore patterns of thought and belief - our conditioning - and feel how this impacts on us. Old patterns which have kept you hostage, can drop away as you recognise their limitations, and tap into your more natural state, allowing you to live a life of greater freedom.

At times we may explore dreams, use meditative practices, and sit in silence. You may in our sessions discover a stillness out of which all these experiences arise. And you may discover that this stillness is not separate from you.

I work with all issues, and have worked with a broad range of clients. I offer both long and short term work, and can also offer sessions on Skype.In my supervision practice, I work both with trainee counsellors and experienced therapists.For more information about me and my practice, and to read my testimonials, you may wish to go to my website: www.helenedemetriades.co.uk
