There is no one-size-fits-all. We honour each person’s unique life experiences, situations and perspectives. We offer a variety of modalities to use as a basic framework while we work together, including; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive & Behavioural (CBT), Solution Focused (SFT). We also offer the benefits of expressive arts (writing and rhythm) and embodiment (using yoga-based movement, breathing and relaxation) – to discover more, please read below.
Creative arts-based therapies can be an effective, and fun, way to work through challenges and enhance wellbeing. They are offered in one-to-one counselling, or in small groups, as either a main focus or integrated with other modalities. One wonderful thing about them is they can be completely individualised to support a person’s experience, context and needs. Our particular focus areas include; the broad expanse of;
Therapeutic writing – expressive writing, journalling, reflecting, planning, exploring perspectives, poetry/metaphor, working though something specific, includes optional illustrations/visual art and bibliotherapy.
Rhythms – using drums and other percussive equipment to explore, express, discover, share, regulate, ground, collaborate and coordinate. We offer one-on-one sessions, couples, families and in groups. No previous experience required. Multiple benefits; including stress reduction.
We facilitate sessions using yoga-based movements, breathing and relaxation activities which encourage self exploration, increase self-awareness, compassion, and integration of body and mind. We offer these sessions one-on-one, in small groups or integrate some of the concepts into sessions with other modalities. Many benefits, including; improved focus, relaxation, sleep, self acceptance, calmness, confidence, balance and strength.

Modern life can sometimes feel demanding, uncertain and overwhelming.
… which can contribute to increasing levels of stress and confusion, affecting quality of sleep, relationships, work and general wellbeing.
People often seek to improve the way they manage their lives, to live in a more balanced way that’s meaningful to them.
Spiral of Life offers a variety of options to support people while they make positive changes. We celebrate diversity while embracing each person’s uniqueness. We listen, explore options which best suit each individual’s needs and circumstances, and facilitate sessions to support this. There are many potential benefits to making time for these sessions, including; feeling seen and heard, increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance, finding a sense of peace and relaxation amidst life’s stressors, and discovering skills and resources that help people to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful for them..
When things feel “right” within ourselves, we can move through life with more clarity and an ability to experience deeper, authentic connections within ourselves and with our external environment (people, places, planet). We share the belief in the human capacity to find ways to find and live meaningfully.
We hope that during & after our sessions you will
· feel seen & heard

· understand more about your experiences
· learn effective tools and strategies that you can continue to use
