About Me and My Approach
My dream was always to be a therapist! From as early as my teens I remember wishing to become a therapist. The vision of a couch floated somewhere in my consciousness and a sacred space to listen to my fellow life-travellers and reflect on the mystery of living.
In my early 20s I moved from Sweden, where I grew up to the UK in search of adventure and following what I would later come to define as a soul calling. A strange pull through stories, music and landscape was becoming too strong to ignore. Eventually, finding my way to the wild west of Cornwall I feel in love with the ancient Celtic landscape and put down roots.
I have always been engaged in stories, nature, art-making and self-reflection, often with the aid of astrology. I hope to bring these resources to the healing journey to support our work together.
I am a qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor as well as trained in Psychological and Evolutionary Astrology. I also hold a BA(Hons) in Fine Art.
Why CERES?
The mythology and transformational journey of Ceres (or Demeter) and her daughter Persephone, resonates with me strongly, so it was no surprise when I found that this asteroid in astrology was right next to my Sun when I was born.
Ceres, for me, holds most connection in terms of her association with the cycles of Mother Nature and the transformational journey the seasons illustrate of death and rebirth.
She also places emphasis on self-care and self-nurturing. In the myth she suffers the bereavement of her daughter Persephone being abducted into the underworld by Pluto, her grief causing winter on earth. As a result Persephone was allowed to return for half of the year, when Ceres made the Earth flourish again, creating the cycle of the seasons.
This myth of Nature's change process symbolises the inner natural journey of healing, growth and transformation which I embark on in my therapy practice. On an archetypal level these myths tell the inner stories of many of us, validating and contextualising our experience and challenges
