Psychotherapy

Katharine McLennan is a qualified psychotherapist through her studies with the Jansen Newman Institute.  She works with clients one-on-one using a combination of many modalities that include neurotherapy (teaching the client how our mind works), Gestalt (the awareness of emotions in the present and what they mean), hypnotherapy, meditation and visualisation.

The strongest of all modalities, however, is Katharine's art of listening to the client and focusing on drawing forth the client's wisdom so that they can hear it themselves.  She does not pretend to have the answers for the clients, instead focusing on being the vessel for the client to hear their own answers. 

Her philosophy is seeing the hero in each of us: "the ordinary hero," the perfect being,  who is not "broken" and needing "fixing."  She provides a safe and respectful space for listening and offering alternative perspectives--ways of seeing things that often are quite different from the ones clients have been using throughout their lives.  Most of us are simply not aware that another perspective is even possible. 

We all have transition points in our life where we do feel "stuck" or "depressed" or "anxious" or "angry" or "resentful."  It's often an independent and impartial person that comes along to give us a different perspective, reflecting back to us another way of thinking.
