The new song from Moana talks about a journey.
When you’re lost
In the rain
The tides are high and all the skies are grey
Find your strength
Find that voice inside
Remind yourself and find yourself along the way...

In working with you, I commit to working with you in these ways.

The list could be much longer but these are some of the core ways I work with you in our sessions together.

I offer Individual Sessions, Couples & Relationship Sessions.

I work in person in Central London and in Milton Keynes.

The people who work with me:
• Find themselves part of different cultures and heritages. 🧳
• Identify as LGBTQIA+🌈
• Hold Faith & Spirituality as important parts of their life.
• Want to explore a more meaningful and whole relationship with themselves and others around them.
•Find they are Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.

I am so looking forward to hearing your story,
Elliot

I used to believed that self care was selfish, it was all about being more important than others and all about making me ‘feel’ happy.

Attending to ourselves is a skill which takes time, effort, practice and sometimes intentionality. Here is a little glimpse into how I nourish and attend to myself so that I can show up for the humans I work with.

In what ways have you cared, stewarded or showed up for you?

Dear Therapist in Training,

(Read the end of the letter for some of the horror stories from supervision).

Supervision while training can be such a fantastic resource to grow, learn and fail in. It can also be a space where you might not even like your supervisor’s style or approach.

In this week’s free open letter, the link is in my bio,I talk about how I came to find the gold in supervision, and how I have had some pretty awful supervisors.

All in all, Supervision should be a place you feel safe to explore, challenge your work and grow. If this isn’t there, something is going wonky.

From your sibling therapist,
Elliot

Dear Therapist in Training,

We might not publicly talk about it, but when clients don’t show up for their session, do not respond or even ghost, it can be a real challenge. We might feel responsible, annoyed, confused or even relief.

In this free open letter I share about what might be happening for a client, what might be happening for you, and what you might want to do with your time if your client doesn’t show up to your session. Click the bio to read more.

It’s something we all experience, and something we all have to walk through.

For me, I now have a list of things I can do while I wait for a client: crochet or knitting, reading a book, watching old SNL clips, planning something creative or just doing admin.

To those who have experienced this, what do you do when you have a no show?

Take care of yourself,
Your sibling will therapist.

Dear Therapist in Training,

You are going through such a busy process, it is cognitively hard, emotionally challenging, your schedules are probably all over the place. You probably feel overwhelmed with deadlines, nervous about different skills you are trying to use. Training requires so much of you.

In this free open letter in the link I share about how I began to allow myself the space and eventually the permission to take care of my self, so that I could show up for clients and the different areas that life called me to.

I don’t get it right, and sometimes I go through waves of taking pauses and breaks to refill the cup. If you are feeling you are in need of a break, maybe that is just what you need.

From one human to another,
Take care of yourself sibling therapist.

Dear Therapist in Training,

You are learning your skills, taking in theories, doing assignments, seeing clients, and balancing all these plates around you.

Your care, your work, your diligence has a place.

And so does your championing!

In this short, free open letter (click the link tree in my bio), I wonder what it is like to champion and coach our clients, cheerleading and instilling that voice “you can do it!” - stepping into a human to human experience.

Your sibling therapist,

Elliot

Dear Therapist in Training,

My lived experiences, create the fabric of the chair upon which I sit.

I can hold deep pain. I can see the hard work. I hold the authentic expression of a human under pressure. I recognise those on the sidelines. I hope for those who have lost it. I know the power of dreams and movement. I am part of the space. It’s not about me, but I co-create this.

You are part of the therapeutic work. This free article is written to prompt you to consider how you are an active participant in the therapeutic journey.

Your sibling therapist,

Elliot

Travelling with to other places means trying foods, getting to know a local language and the people who live their daily lives.

The last few months I’ve been exploring what it looks like to still provide care and support through therapeutic sessions online, while I’ve been having a different approach to life and work.

If you have been travelling, what was a memorable location or experience you’ve had? ☀️🌊🥥🍭
