Thrine Sofie Goes, Integrative Pychotherapy(MBACP), Ever thought about going to therapy, but didn’t really know what it would be like? Or, have you been overwhelmed by a past or recent life event that has become increasingly more difficult to manage? These one-to-one taster sessions are an informal meet and greet, where you can come as you are. Many people may feel therapy is shrouded in mystery, only taking place in whispers behind closed doors, but I believe that it is a transformational experience that with the tools and perspectives gained, can make every day easier to bear.Within our session, I look forward to learning a bit more about you and why you are considering therapy. Importantly, the taster session is a place where you can gather information and ask any questions that you might have. You can meet with Thrine for a 30 minute chat to find out more about therapy and how it can help everyday challenges/past unresolved conflict/interpersonal struggles/grief/anxiety/low mood. This is a not a therapy session but a time to ask any questions you may have about seeking emotional support.

Carlo Volpi, Sound Therapist and Biodynamic Massage – Biodynamic massage is a form of psychotherapeutic touch that works on all levels of the human experience, from the physical, to the emotional and the spiritual. The therapist is closely attuned to the client and works with a range of movements that invite relaxation and integration. A stethoscope is placed on the client’s abdomen to monitor their ‘psychoperistalsis’: the noises that come from the gut are used by the therapist as a biofeedback to guide the massage and they offer a wealth of information about the client’s ability to self-regulate. A “sound massage” is a very gentle and non-invasive modality that works on relaxing both the physical body and the mind. A set of Himalayan singing bowls is used to work on the body: the soothing sound of these instruments is very relaxing for the mind and it sends gentle vibrations through the physical body, massaging the bones, the muscles, the organs and the skin. Sound therapy can help with many conditions, from chronic pain to stress, depression and anxiety. A sound massage is also ideal for those clients who may not be comfortable with physical contact.

You might not know exactly what it is you want to work on, or just have a general idea of needing some support with the challenges of your life at the moment. During our initial consultation, we will talk about your reasons for coming, your hopes and expectations, reservations and questions about beginning this process. We can then explore the options for how we might be working together and you can make a decision afterwards.
