At Spacious Minds, therapy is guided by Processwork, a depth psychology approach developed by Arnold Mindell that honours both conscious and unconscious experiences. Rather than fixing symptoms, it views body signals, dreams, emotions, and conflicts as meaningful expressions seeking awareness. By exploring the tension between primary identity and secondary, unfamiliar aspects, clients uncover growth and change. This method integrates Jungian, Buddhist, and trauma-informed perspectives, recognising all experiences as valuable (deep democracy). Holistically weaving these traditions, the aim is to support clients in building awareness, resilience, and wholeness, while accompanying them in exploring their inner world and unfolding potential.

Limerence, an intense and involuntary state of romantic obsession, often hides beneath layers of shame, confusion, and fantasy. Coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov, it’s more than a fleeting crush, it's an all-consuming “unintentional desire” that can blur reality and trap individuals in emotional turmoil. The Limerent Therapist unpacks this complex experience, exploring its roots in attachment styles, hidden traumas, and the silent struggles many face alone.

Limerence isn’t just a crush, it’s an intense, involuntary emotional storm that blurs fantasy and reality, leaving many trapped in confusion and longing. The Limerent Therapist (Part Two) explores how limerence reveals deep emotional needs and hidden wounds, offering a path to healing and self-discovery for those willing to look inward.

Life, mine included, is full of rupture. Although these two words flow like an old married couple, repair does not always follow willingly with rupture. And with enough ruptures and no repair, relationships can become resentful, mistrusting or even toxic.

Early attachments shape our relationship patterns, influencing how we connect and handle conflict throughout life. Exploring attachment styles in therapy can transform these patterns, fostering deeper understanding and healing for ourselves and future generations.

Struggling with addiction can feel isolating, but it’s often a response to deeper pain or unmet needs. At Spacious Minds, I help uncover the hidden messages behind addictive behaviours, offering a compassionate space to explore, heal, and rediscover yourself. Recovery isn’t about willpower alone, it’s about understanding what your addiction is trying to tell you and finding authentic, lasting relief. Ready to take the first step? Let’s walk this path together.

Trauma has become a buzzword in pop culture, tossed around to describe everything from minor upsets to major life disruptions… But pop culture aside, what is trauma, really?

Death and grief are two words often intertwined, yet they each represent distinct experiences. At Spacious Minds, I am cautious about grouping them together.

Conflict is, undeniably, painful. As much as we might long for a world free from disagreement or distress, that vision of harmony, a life untouched by conflict, is a flight of fantasy.
