About
Hi! My name is Steff, thank you for visiting my page.
I love meeting new people, long walks on the beach and reading. My passion for helping others started when I volunteered with young people in 2016, I loved seeing them grow and develop their personalities. I also was struck by how already in their short lives they had faced hardship and difficulties navigating the world. I vowed to work hard to develop my skills to be in a position to work with others to thrive rather than survive.
​
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred counselling and I am a member of NCPS.
Membership number: NCS21-00442
As part of my membership I attend regular supervision and continued professional development.
I have also completed 2 courses, Embodiment and Healing Ground, in the Realization Process developed by Judith Blackstone.

Realization Process by Judith Blackstone
The Realization Process, developed by Judith Blackstone, is a somatic approach that incorporates non dual spiritual awakening with psychological healing, using embodied meditation practices to promote deep inward connection and self-awareness.
​​‘By inhabiting the body, and accessing the subtle vertical core of the body, we uncover an experience of a fundamental, unified ground of being: an unbroken, unmodified dimension of consciousness, pervading our own form and surroundings as a whole’ Judith Blackstone (2024). This dimension is described by Judith as fundamental consciousness, which arises spontaneously through the meditation practices.
​
This embodiment work can be woven into our sessions, starting with meditation practices, which act as a diagnostic tool. They can reveal holding patterns in the fascia caused by difficult experiences in our lives. As our therapeutic relationship develops we can incorporate the healing ground element which explores the emotional side of the work. Enabling you to become more whole and centred within your body, able to experience life to the fullest.
​
I offer online weekly meditation group classes for those new to the Realization Process or with some meditation experience. These classes offer a welcoming space to feel safer in your body and attune to the pervasive, healing space of fundamental consciousness with others.
​
Class runs for 1 hour and 15 mins at a price of £90 for 6 weeks.
