Sessions

Psychophonetics practitioners offer a safe, confidential, & non-judgemental space for listening with empathy and compassion. 
 
Each person's experience & choices are respected.

In each session, there is usually a conversational & an experiential phase. 

The process is created in partnership - empowering you with new skills for creating new meaning in your life.



Practitioners bring a variety of skills & experience for a wide variety of issues including -  
  • Self-esteem
  • Stress
  • Fear
  • Anger
  • Overcoming reactions
  • Vocation
  • Anxiety
  • Relationships
  • Abuse
  • Life enhancement
  • Finding life purpose
  • Additions
  • Life transitions
  • Grief & Loss
  • Pain management
  • Releasing blocked speaking
  • and more...


The basic approach includes
  • Exploring your concerns in conversation until a mutual understanding and new insights are reached regarding your issue.
  • On this basis, you are invited to make a practical wish about what you want to change. This wish guides the direction of the action phase in the session - for example, you may wish to know more, become more empowered, and/or become more connected with your feelings, or the wish may be for a different type of change within your life.
  • A common starting point is choosing the experience of a moment in life relating to your issue.
  • This moment is then recalled and the process includes -
    • sensing this experience in the body
    • expressing the experience through gesturing, visualising, drawing, or claywork
    • entering, exiting and beholding imaginatively the inner dynamics
    • gaining insights 
    • through deeper experiential work changes can be made and using sound work the vibrational patterns of the experience held in the body can be changed. 
  • This non-verbal way of knowing offers a transformational and developmental approach for you to gain skills of self-management for you to use in everyday life, not just during the session.
  • Drawing, painting and clay-work may also be used at home, as well as in the sessions.


  Experiencing sound therapy

  • Using sounds feels like I’ve broken down a black box that I’ve been inside.
  • Each time I make a sound and gesture I give myself more space…
  •  I had negative thought patterns & behaviours I was able to break down with  sounds…
  •  I’ve involved the whole of me to heal the whole of me, not just the mind.


Psychophonetics practitioners offer an educational & therapeutic learning process that 

encourages the development of each person's knowing, inner strength, and the unfolding of their potential.


Experiencing a different perspective

I never quite understood what had happened to me and what impact it had on me, and why I was affected so much...it was amazing to find out and to have a greater clarity and understanding about past hurts and triggers… I mean first I had to gesture the situation, feel it, find a colour and sound and then at the end was the clay. The clarity of seeing the relationships, seeing it in clay was quite profound for me...there was a different perspective completely.
