Trauma-informed
Ari works with the Clinical Trauma Professional approach that uses parts therapy. This takes a closer look at the different parts of ourselves that may overwhelm our nervous system, go unnoticed or need further support in order to re-enforce the notion that all our parts are welcome.
Inner-child work
Ari uses Inner-child work that involves reconnecting with and nurturing our inner child, the part of us that holds our innocence, curiosity, and creativity. Through this therapeutic approach, individuals are encouraged to explore and express their inner child's needs, desires, and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. This process can help uncover unresolved childhood issues, heal emotional wounds, and promote self-compassion and self-acceptance.
RLT Couples Therapy
Identify and address unhealthy patterns: RLT helps couples recognize and challenge negative dynamics, such as criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, or emotional withdrawal.
1. Foster effective communication: By teaching skills like active listening, assertiveness, and empathy, RLT helps couples communicate more openly, honestly, and authentically.
2. Heal emotional wounds: RLT delves into past experiences and unresolved traumas that may be affecting the relationship, helping partners heal and move forward.
3. Rebuild trust and intimacy: Through rebuilding trust, developing shared values, and cultivating intimacy, RLT aims to create a strong foundation for a thriving relationship.
4. Enhance individual growth: RLT recognizes the importance of individual growth within a relationship and encourages each partner to pursue personal development and self-awareness.
About Me
As a counsellor with 7 years of experience I have helped clients through navigating challenging self-talk that can often be the result of our life experiences.
In my experience this has led to change in the clients’ I support often proving that gaining insight into why we may have strong responses from our nervous system, helps to change the way we live. Yet not all therapy requires sharing our past experiences. I work dynamically with each person in an attempt to address what is true for you in the present.
From starting a new relationship, showing our vulnerability in social groups, managing addictions and addressing self-limiting or critical thoughts.
I aim to achieve this by using a personalised treatment that I explore with you. We do it YOUR way and find the best possible fit.
I find great joy and curiosity in each individual journey, in finding out how people thrive!
Using or changing and training our bodily responses through Somatic Therapies
Navigating our thought process and self-limiting beliefs. CBT
Through IFS we attempt to find your parts and their needs and find your core self.
And through the banner of Clinical Certified Trauma Professional training I share evidence based knowledge around why our nervous system may be feeling low, frightened or numb to specific circumstances.
Ultimately it is up to the client to see if this is the best fit and in the words of renowned psychiatrist Irvin D Yalom
“The effective therapist should never try to force discussion of any content area: Therapy should not be theory-driven but relationship-driven”
