Performing was a kind of personal exposure therapy; it felt good to put myself out there, and to discover it wasn&#8217;t (always) as bad as I anticipated. My passion for music led me to study a <b>BSc in <i>Sound Technology<\/i><\/b> with the University of Glamorgan from 2010 to 2013.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>While here, my soon-to-be-ex-partner suggested I &#8220;get some counselling&#8221;. Not knowing what it was, I had a few sessions that were offered by the university. It felt liberating to let an impartial stranger into my inner life \u2014 someone who listened, who didn&#8217;t pressure me or bite back, who didn&#8217;t get uncomfortable with my discomfort.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Now inspired to learn more about psychology, myself and the world in general, I took up a string of evening courses with Cardiff University, including counselling skills, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, philosophy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Post uni, I attempted a short stint of trying to &#8216;make it&#8217; as a freelance music producer, but soon abandoned that project and went soul-searching in South-East Asia.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>After this, I was working odd jobs \u2013 bar work, busking, and handing out magazines at train stations. Somewhat lost, the question<em> What career path to follow<\/em>? naturally resurfaced. I wanted to do something fulfilling and meaningful, to help others, to challenge myself, and to learn more about how our minds work.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>So, I embarked on my core training, a three-year <b>MSc in <i>Integrative Counselling &amp; Psychotherapy<\/i><\/b> with the University of Derby. The course was based on an Integration of <b><i>Person-Centred Therapy<\/i><\/b>, <b><i>Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy<\/i> (CBT)<\/b>, and <b><i>Attachment Theory<\/i><\/b>. My dissertation was on Metacommunication, a central <b><i>interpersonal process<\/i><\/b>\u00a0in psychotherapy. I graduated in 2017 and have been practicing since.\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>In 2018 I volunteered in the research department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compassionatemind.co.uk\/\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">The Compassionate Mind Foundation<\/a>, founded by Paul Gilbert, pioneer of <b><i>Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). <\/i><\/b>Experiencing the\u00a0 psychotherapy research process and training in CFT both added greater depth to my practice.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>In 2019 I trained for a <b><i>Level 3 Award in Education and Training<\/i><\/b>, in order to teach and train others. I utilised this in 2020, guest lecturing at the University of Derby, and I have returned each year since. I now also facilitate fortnightly therapy skills sessions for students in-placement at a local counselling and psychotherapy agency.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>In 2020, I attained accredited member status with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a membership status which recognises <i>&#8220;&#8230;the achievement of high standards of knowledge, experience and development in counselling and psychotherapy&#8221; <\/i>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bacp.co.uk\/membership\/accredited-membership\/\" rev=\"en_rl_none\">BACP<\/a>).<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>A crucial aspect of my education over the years has been exploring my own personal issues with a number of therapists. I have had some transformational experiences, but also some unpleasant, non-empathic and re-traumatising experiences while in the hands of unskillful professionals, which have made a strong impact on me, not least by informing me how I <i>don&#8217;t <\/i>want to be with my own clients. They emphasised for me how important are the fundamental ethics of respect, empathy, acceptance, compassion, and the medical dictate of &#8216;do no harm&#8217;.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>I read psychotherapy textbooks for fun (seriously) and enjoy attending workshops and conferences to continue my professional development.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Outside of therapy, I enjoy hiking, tennis, and proudly fit the trope of the therapist that practices yoga and meditation as part of a lifestyle wherein I attempt to care for my body and mind.<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1143\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1143\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Continuing Professional Development (CPD)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1143\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1143\"><p style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Continuing Professional Development (CPD)<\/span><\/p><ul><li><em><b>GDPR: What Therapists Need to Know<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Counselling Tutor<\/span> (Online: 30\/04\/23)<\/li><li><em><b>Embracing the Erotic<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Nick Campion<\/span> (Derby: 24\/04\/23)<\/li><li><em><b>Introduction to Gender Diversity Workshop<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Rowan Hyde and Ellis Beardsmore<\/span> (Online: 03\/03\/23)<\/li><li><em><b>Menstruation and Menopause (from a Psycho-Spiritual Perspective)<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Sarah Hinds<\/span> (Derby: 27\/02\/23)<\/li><li><em><b>Nature as Therapy<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Sarah Hinds<\/span> (Derby: 28\/01\/23)<\/li><li><em><b>Understanding and Working with Eating Disorders<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Kasmira Spence<\/span> (Derby: 05\/12\/22)<\/li><li><em><b>Archetypal Patterns in Dreams<\/b><\/em><br \/><span lang=\"EN-US\">Dr. Michael Conforti<\/span> (Online: 03\/12\/22)<\/li><li><em><strong>Grief and Bereavement Workshop<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Ian Hewitt (Online: 16\/09\/22)<\/li><li><strong><em>21st IAGP International Congress<\/em><\/strong><br \/>IAGP (Pescara, Italy: 21-24\/07\/22)<\/li><li><strong><em>A Biopsychosocial View of Attention Deficit Disorder and other Childhood Developmental Disorders<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Gabor Mat\u00e9 (Online: 29\/01\/22)<\/li><li><strong><em>Advanced Master Program on the Treatment of Trauma<\/em><\/strong><br \/>NICABM (Online: 06\/10\/21-4\/11\/21)<\/li><li><strong><em>Workshop on Eating Disorders<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Helen Warford (Derby: 29\/02\/20)<\/li><li><strong><em>Experiential Workshop in Family Constellations<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Reina Lister (Sheffield: 11\/01\/20)<\/li><li><strong><em>Introduction to Psychodynamic Theory and Practice<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Green Lane C&amp;P (Derby: 27\/09\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Attachment &amp; Compassion: Hypo-aroused States<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Graham Music (Derby: 23\/09\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>2nd IAGP International Psychodrama Congress<\/em><\/strong><br \/>IAGP (Iseo, Italy: 4-8\/09\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Working Creatively with Children &amp; Young People<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Green Lane C&amp;P (Derby: 08\/06\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Working with Shame<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Carolyn Spring (Nottingham: 18\/05\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Autism Workshop<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Green Lane C&amp;P (Derby: 06\/04\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Chronic Fatigue &amp; Fibromyalgia Workshop<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Green Lane C&amp;P (Derby: 16\/03\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Working at Relational Depth<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Mick Cooper (Nottingham: 23\/02\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Grieving &amp; Loss: A Practical Workshop<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Inspire (Nottingham: 21\/01\/19)<\/li><li><strong><em>Theory &amp; Practice of Compassion-Focused Therapy<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Chris Irons (London: 6-8\/12\/18)<\/li><li><strong><em>Embodied-Relational Therapy<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Stephen Tame (Devon: 17-18\/11\/18)<\/li><li><strong><em>20th IAGP Int.

the most important factor in you getting what you want from therapy.<\/p><p>From birth, and throughout life, we form beliefs and expectations from our experiences of being in relationship with others.<\/p><p>Similar to how you and I build internal &#8216;models&#8217; of the houses we grew up in (such that you could close your eyes and navigate that house in your mind\u2014try it!), we also build internal emotional models of the relationships we grow up in.<\/p><p>An individual&#8217;s relational models shape and determine her model of herself (or &#8216;Self-Concept&#8217;), because we learn who we are through the mirrors of, and in relationship to, others. These models also become the starting blueprint for future relationships.<\/p><p>Our models contain beliefs and rules about how the world, and the people in it, work, and include beliefs about ourselves: our competence, our social &#8216;rank&#8217; and our sense of worth.<\/p><p>Therefore, they impact all our interactions, interpretations, expectations, wants, feelings, thoughts and reactions, and even the thoughts and feelings we have with ourselves, when alone.<\/p><p>These models become the &#8216;truth&#8217; through which we filter reality. And yet we are so immersed in them that we may be completely unaware of them \u2014 like the proverbial fish, who, so immersed by water, couldn&#8217;t comprehend what water was.<\/p><p>Our relational models contain strategies for protecting ourselves from relational pain (say, from being judged, misunderstood, neglected, bullied, dominated, belittled, rejected, abandoned, and being in and around arguments and conflict).<\/p><p>And the ongoing use and consequences of these defences often become the reasons that we come to therapy. They include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Stress, anxiety, panic, fear, terror, vigilance<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0trauma<\/strong> (threat reactions)<\/li><li><strong>Depression, lethargy, lack of joy, pleasure and drive<\/strong> (powerlessness and helplessness reactions)<\/li><li><strong>Anger, rage, resentment, hate, vengeance<\/strong> (injustice reactions)<\/li><li><strong>Avoidance<\/strong>, such as <strong>withdrawal, procrastination, perfectionism, alcoholism and other drug use<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>People-pleasing<\/strong>, such as <strong>hiding your preferences, opinions and feelings, lacking assertiveness and boundaries, doing things you don&#8217;t want to do<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Low self-esteem, shame, guilt, self-criticism<\/strong><\/li><li>Control strategies such as <strong>eating disorders, vigilance, obsessions, obsessive-compulsions<\/strong><\/li><li>Cognitive defences such as <strong>worrying, catastrophising, ruminating<\/strong><\/li><li>Distraction, self-soothing and self-medicating leading to <strong>self-defeating habits and addictions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>Our tasks in therapy, then, are to make sense of your suffering and self-protective strategies, process the pain from which they attempt to protect you, and to create new experiences of being in relationship \u2014 with others in your life, in <em>our<\/em> relationship, and in relationship with yourself \u2014 in order to transform outdated internal models.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"integrative-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item \" data-title-link=\"integrative-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Integrative<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>I have gained value personally and professionally from all the major approaches to psychotherapy \u2014 psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive-behavioural \u2014 and integrate aspects of each into my relational approach.<\/p><p>This integrative approach looks to bring the different therapies together: to acknowledge similarities, and be curious about and differences, in order to move towards a more unified field.<\/p><p>This is a movement away from the more tribal &#8216;Us vs. Them&#8217; mentality that can be found at the extremes of different psychotherapy schools.<\/p><p>I also resonate with the second meaning of &#8216;integrative&#8217; put forward by Erskine &amp; Moursund (1988), who propose that an aim of therapy is to help clients integrate their conflicted or fragmented aspects of self, to form a more congruent, harmonious whole.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">References<\/span><\/p><p>Erskine, R.

This is a completely normal starting point for therapy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left\">It&#8217;s also common to start therapy off the back of a difficult life event, such as a loss, break-up, career or education change.

It is commonly referred to as &#8216;talking therapy&#8217; because, on the face of it, that&#8217;s what we do \u2014 talk.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Initially we talk with a focus on the circumstances, problems or suffering for which you are seeking help. We then talk about the ways in which you would like things to be different. These might include both the external circumstances of your life, but generally we focus on your internal life, that is, your perspectives, thoughts, assumptions, fantasies, worries, moods, emotions, sensations, urges, desires, dreams, wishes, hopes etc.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Through this exploration, you&#8217;re likely to get to know yourself more intimately and discover patterns in the ways you think, feel, react and relate. We might explore how long these patterns have affected you, and in what ways they might have been influenced by your family, friends and society, as well as your temperament and choices. Talking in this way requires a trustworthy partner who can help you feel comfortable, a good listener who is open, receptive and validating. This is my, the therapist&#8217;s, job.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>Once this relationship is strong enough, I will help you challenge and face various perspectives, beliefs or adaptations that are blocking your growth and well-being. I may be open and frank about how I experience you, providing you the kind of open feedback you&#8217;re unlikely to receive in polite society. Of course, this would always be done tentatively, with respect and compassion.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>These experiences we gain through talking in this unique relationship called &#8216;psychotherapy&#8217; can emotionally dislodge and liberate us from the unconscious beliefs, assumptions, rules, maps and scripts that otherwise direct and colour much of our lives.<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"eael-accordion-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"is-everything-i-tell-you-confidential\" class=\"elementor-tab-title eael-accordion-header\" tabindex=\"0\" data-tab=\"2\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1472\"><span class=\"eael-advanced-accordion-icon-closed\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-accordion-icon fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"eael-advanced-accordion-icon-opened\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-accordion-icon fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"eael-accordion-tab-title\">Is everything I tell you confidential?<\/span><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-toggle fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i><\/div><div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1472\" class=\"eael-accordion-content clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" aria-labelledby=\"is-everything-i-tell-you-confidential\"><p>An essential aspect of therapy is knowing that what you speak about won&#8217;t be discussed with anybody else.
