Suitability
Sometimes you know what the problem is — but it doesn’t change
Perhaps you have already tried to reason your way through something.
You may recognise where a reaction began, know that an old belief about yourself no longer fits, or want to respond differently to a familiar situation, but can’t.
Yet understanding this does not necessarily change how you feel.
We can begin with what you already understand, or explore the issue together if it is not yet clear.
Logosynthesis gives us a way of working with the reactions, memories, beliefs and internal images that can continue to influence us even when we consciously want something different.
You might come to me because…
- You feel stuck and cannot quite explain why.
- Anxiety or worry is taking up too much space.
- A particular situation repeatedly triggers a strong reaction.
- Something from your past still affects you.
- You keep falling into the same relationship or behavioural pattern.
- You have lost confidence after a difficult experience.
- You procrastinate over something that matters to you.
- You are affected by painful or controlling experiences in a religious or spiritual setting.
- You are dealing with change, loss or uncertainty.
- You feel blocked creatively or professionally.
- You know what you want but something seems to stop you moving towards it.
- You have already done a lot of personal work but there is one area that hasn’t shifted.
You don’t have to tell your whole life story
We begin by understanding your history and current situation so that I can work with you safely and appropriately. You do not have to describe every experience in detail or share everything at once.
Once we have that understanding, we can focus on the experiences and reactions most relevant to the issue you want to work on.
Often we can identify a specific memory, image, thought, belief or reaction and work directly with what is happening now when you think about it.
For some people, that feels like a relief.
Development and personal change
Not everyone who works with me is trying to resolve something painful.
Sometimes the problem is simply that life has stopped moving in the direction you want. You may want to:
- make a decision
- change direction
- become more confident
- stop procrastinating
- deal with a creative block
- change an unhelpful pattern
- feel less affected by another person’s behaviour
- pursue a goal or dream you have been putting off
- understand why a particular goal feels unexpectedly difficult
Business and professional life
Work can bring personal patterns into sharp focus. You may be facing a difficult decision, holding back from sharing your ideas, struggling with a working relationship or finding it hard to make a change that matters to you.
My background in psychology, creativity, Innovation and Design Thinking informs how I approach these conversations. We can consider the practical situation alongside the beliefs and emotional reactions that may be making it harder to respond as you would like.
Purpose and connection
Sometimes what brings you here is a sense that something is missing. You may feel disconnected from yourself, from others, or from a deeper sense of meaning. You may have a strong feeling of purpose yet find it difficult to express that in your everyday life.
Purpose and connection are central to the Logosynthesis model. We can explore what prevents you feeling connected and following your own direction, using Logosynthesis to work with the memories, beliefs and reactions that arise.
When another kind of support may be more appropriate
Logosynthesis is not emergency or crisis support and does not replace medical care.
Sometimes another professional or service will be better placed to help with a particular issue.
If, after speaking with you, I believe that your needs are outside my professional scope, I will be open about that and, where possible, suggest an appropriate next step.
If you are receiving medical or psychological treatment already, please consult your Dr or practitioner first.
Logosynthesis can be used alongside what you are already doing in most instances, and it often provides a useful complement. Your safety and care are my first priority though.
