Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy

What is the benefit of Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy?

Trauma, grief, anxiety, rejection, life changes, health conditions and illness. Technology overwhelm, lack of meaning or spiritual crisis. These are all some of the challenges that IYP can help with. This modality can also offer a safe and creative alternative to talk therapy if you fear ‘having to talk’ about a particular issue or a traditional therapeutic approach has not helped you.

What happens in a session?

A session involves talk therapy integrated with yogic tools, such as grounding, breath connection, visualisation or even movement to explore material as it arises. There is no fixed pattern and each week’s experience will depend on your need.

How is yoga integrated?

Yoga has never separated the body from the mind. Yoga has always been ‘holistic’ - integrating mind body and spirit. If you feel disconnected, have inner conflicts, or feel low, stuck or ‘fragmented’, yoga psychotherapy can help you to find peace, contentment and wholeness. If you feel emotionally overwhelmed or you 'can’t get out of your busy mind’ yoga offers multiple ways to alleviate the busy mind, to regulate intense, challenging emotions and through this, offers a very secure and safe space in which to explore your life.

What does nature connection look like?

My approach often weaves Nature and seasonal cycles into therapy. If you are curious about connecting with nature, we move the therapy to woodlands, parks or wild spaces when it feels appropriate - or we bring nature into the indoor therapy space.
