Curious about1:1 Psychotherapy?
Finding the right therapist for you & your needs can sometimes be a challenging process. This is why I invite you to take your time. Perhaps you'd like to listen to the meditations offered for free on this website, or book a 30minute consultation for a small charge of £15 - to get a feel for how you feel in my energy. The biggest guide will be your body - can you notice if your body feels drawn to working together, or whether you feel comfortable elsewhere? There is no pressure to start therapy if you book a consultation call, you may want to take a moment to check in with yourself after we speak, or as you read these words and listen to that voice inside. Is it a yes, or is it a no? Honour that quiet nudge inside.
​
In terms of how sessions may feel like - people very often describe me as a calming, grounded energy. I am here to hold space for the emotions, energies, human complexities you'd like to take a look at. I am not here to fix you, as you are not broken. My intention as a therapist is to hold up a mirror, and gently guide you towards reconnection with your own body, spirit, intuition. I do this by integrating various psychotherapy and shamanic healing modalities. I am however; mainly rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Psychotherapy as I find these approaches help us to access wisdom beyond the conscious mind and therefore expand the healing potential into mind-body dimensions. ​
​
We can create an online Zoom container in the comfort of your home - or there may be a possibility for in person sessions in central Manchester. Sessions usually last 55mins and are charged at £80. Availability is limited - please reach out by email on oliwiaifs@gmail.com or book a consultation call below to find out if waitlist is currently open.
​
From time to time I run a small group therapeutic container - this is a space for you to intentionally reconnect to parts of you that may have been forgotten about, learn somatic healing practices & experience healing in community. These are limited to 8 participants and run for 6 weeks at a time with weekly group sessions, support group-chat & access to resources. If you'd like to be placed on the waitlist please fill in the contact form at the Botton of this page.
