Felicity Grace - Counsellor

2023 celebrates my 20th year as a therapist. A wonderful journey into the body, heart and meaning of healing and thriving. I trained initally in holistic counselling a four-fold psychotherapy of Body-Emotion-Mind-Connection with Dr Patricia Sherwood at Sophia College. Using the body as a map and learning to assist clients to move from physical felt sense to feelings and emotions. Expressive Therapies, art and gesture. combined to unlock and heal traumatic experiences and intertwined limiting beliefs. In 2004 this was radical training at the cutting edge of somatic, trauma informed counselling.

In two decades of practice I have added:

Trauma informed somatic counselling with a focus on Dissociation, Panic Attacks, and Disorganised Attachment Repair
Somatic Experiencing – with Diane Poole-Heller’s interest in attachment repair
Family Constellations and family systems healing with Yildz Sethi
Emotion Focus Couples Therapy with Jenny Fitzgerald
Interpersonal Therapy with Scott Stuart
PBSP – made famous by Bessel van der Kolkub The Body Keeps the Score as the best approach to repairing disorganised attachment and healing self-worth
