What draws me most to Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is its understanding of safety and relationship, and the extraordinary possibilities it offers for healing the nervous system, particularly for people carrying the effects of long-term or complex trauma.

Working with the body as a whole system, BCST can bring relief from many of the physical and emotional effects of trauma, including anxiety, pain, digestive issues and emotional dysregulation. It is also particularly useful for chronic, systemic conditions affecting the nervous or immune systems. Importantly, the therapy works at the level of present-time body experience, meaning people can heal from the effects of trauma, including complex childhood trauma, without needing to revisit or discuss what happened to them.

I am also deeply influenced by Vipassana meditation, which I have practised for many years. This technique offers a simple but penetrating method for gaining insight into the mind and into the relationship between the body and consciousness. I draw on these insights in my therapeutic work.
