Hakomi Psychotherapy - Ecotherapy
Joyce
Psychotherapy Te Awamutu
Welcome. If you are reading this, chances are life is presenting challenges for you and you're seeking support to find a way through. Whether in-person or online, I provide a safe and nurturing space where we can explore your concerns with gentle curiosity. My approach is person-centred, supporting your inborn abilities while working together to find the best direction to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
As we look at the challenges you are experiencing, I will guide you into noticing, in a non-judgmental way, what your body is telling us through its habits such as tensions, movements, sensations and postures. Exploring these somatic habits and patterns with mindful curiosity allows the coming together of your physical, emotional and mental wisdoms. This holistic approach opens new possibilities for moving away from current painful limitations into freedom and choice.
Additionally, I am trained in Ecotherapy which adds the richness of the Natural World to our therapeutic work and deepens your connection with Nature and yourself. We may work in a garden designed for mindful sensory experience or indoors using nature-based techniques. Ecotherapy combines easily with Hakomi and Nature is a very supportive setting for therapy. We will discover what combination of therapies works best for you.
Having witnessed both personally and professionally the profound effectiveness of Hakomi and Ecotherapy, I am committed to supporting you as we address your challenges and you move into a calmer, more connected, and rewarding life.

Online therapy
Online therpy is via Zoom. I will send you a link for your session.
Although in-person therapy adds an extra dimension, both body-based somatic therapy and nature-based ecotherapy are effective online.
