Hi, I’m Jemma….
Welcome, I sincerely hope that you find a sanctuary here within my work offerings.
I journey with clients on personal, spiritual and psychological concerns using psychotherapy and coaching modalities combined with ancient alchemical practices and teachings, mindfulness and body awareness methods. This offers an increased focus on body/somatic experiences, and an individuals unique experience and process.
I aim to positively transform your sense of wellbeing and personal understanding of your beliefs about life from the experiences you’ve had. How these beliefs are expressed through your feelings, thoughts and behaviours in every day life. How you can live with more awe, wonder, alignment to your true nature, and expression of your unique potential.
We go beyond techniques, talk and solutions to a sustainable soulful approach that includes the body, soul, dreams, relationships, political and social environment. I teach you the meta skills to put new ways of your choice into practice in aligned and sustainable action.
I work with your brain, body, and spirit connection to create the life of your dreams. I acknowledge, understand and respond sensitively and respectfully for the best possible outcomes that you desire. I honour your individual process and timing.
I have over 20 years experience in guiding people from all walks of life to look within to understand who they are. They can then create an outer world that reflects their inner heart desires.
If this feels like what you need please send me a message or visit my services and events page.
What is somatic/body oriented psychotherapy?
It is a term for body techniques that develop and strengthen the ability to communicate with, explore, understand and potentially release experiences and emotions held in the body. Which then consequentially releases it from the nervous system, mind and belief system.
Body oriented psychological therapies build a connection between our mind and body. Deepening our connection to ourselves, others and the world.
My approach
Intentional dream development and analysis through lucid dreaming and Dream Yoga practices.
We explore our spiritual journey and practices in our sleep and dreams, a space where we can do more things than when we are awake. Where we can access a profound guidance far greater than our human experience, to then bring in to our human experience. We can facilitate a deeper understanding in our development and purpose, of the world, heal wounds and emotional difficulties, and practice ways of being we’d like to bring in to waking life, from the safety and guidance available to us within our dream life. Our dreams are greater truth tellers. Drawing upon the teachings and methods of Carl Jung alchemical approach to Psychoanalysis, Processwork Psychotherapy’s Dream Body, and Ancient Dream Wisdom practices.
Body-oriented psychological interventions (including Breathwork, Relaxation Therapies, Somatic Experiencing )
Somatic Experiencing/Trauma Resiliency (SE) SE is an integrative (mind-body) approach developed by Peter A. Levine (1997, 2005) that focuses on identifying the psychophysiological patterns that underlie the traumatic responses (Leitch et al., 2009). SE develops sensory resources (e.g., places in the body that do not feel pain but feel strong) that help the client feel safe in developing sensory awareness and the corresponding self-regulation (Leitch et al., 2009, p. 11).
Acupoint Tapping Therapies (Emotional Freedom Therapy, Thought Field Therapy)
Acupoint stimulation refers to a number of related energy therapies that are based on kinesiology and the Chinese Meridian system of medicine. EFT is an exposure therapy combining cognitive and somatic elements. It offers mindful exposure to traumatic memories combined with simultaneous self acupoint stimulation.
Mindfulness-based Therapy and Movement
MBT represents a clinical integration of mindfulness and western psychotherapies. Based on ancient eastern meditation and yoga traditions, MBT programs involve the key element of non-judgemental observation of feelings, thoughts, external stimuli from the environment, physical pain or psychological distress (Kabat-Zinn, 1990). Participants are gradually taught to become more aware of their own body, and to use this awareness to process and regulate emotions and intense bodily sensations.
Why choose somatic/body oriented psychotherapy?
Traumatic events, whether a one of experience or ongoing chronic trauma, are almost impossible to put into words. This is because during moments of trauma recall, Broca’s area of the brain – the part responsible for speech production – shuts down, compromising our ability to describe how we are feeling.
Forms of therapy that rely on talking recount the traumatic events and can retraumatise clients and hinder their recovery process.
By working with the body and nervous system through somatic therapies, we learn to slowly release trauma from the body, creating a space inside ourselves where healing can begin.
Our Services
-
Life is often overwhelming. We all have, and have had, experiences which create deep suffering and effect our ability to see, feel and behave as we would like to in our lives. Individualised sessions offer a safe space where you can talk about anything and everything. A multi-dimensional exploration of whatever it is that’s coming up for you. Gently exploring and releasing difficult thoughts, emotions and experiences to find clarity with customised techniques and tools that can also be used at home. Suitable for children aged 8 and above, and adults.

A woman has many transitions times throughout her life where she can flow through with awareness, or get stuck, impacting on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Our modern culture offers little understanding of, and support for, the impact of these times; menstruation, pregnancy, loss, grief, abortion, perimenopause, menopause, divorce, and ageing.
I offer one-on-one therapy and group programs beginning from our maturing young girls readying for menstruation, on through all aspects of a woman’s life cycle.
