Kara Woods, SEP and Integrative Psychotherapist
Initial Therapeutic Education
Awarding Body: BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
Primary Modality: Psychotherapy
I am an Experienced, Qualified and Professionally Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Mindfulness Teacher and Coach. I practise in-person in North London (N4) and online.
I have particular expertise and experience in working with depression, anxiety, trauma and other stress related issues including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also have a special interest in working with issues of identity, self-esteem, meaning and purpose.
I approach Somatic Experiencing through the lens of psychotherapy. As a psychotherapist my therapeutic approach is Integrative Psychosynthesis. Integrative means that I draw upon a number of different approaches and adopt a flexible way of working, responding to each individual’s needs. Psychosynthesis offers a holistic approach to living. It works with the mind, feelings, body and spirit, providing a context wherein each of us has the potential to unfold to our deepest sense of self and purpose. In addition to its own structures, Psychosynthesis serves as a point of reference for co-ordination of other ideas and approaches including Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Systemic thinking, which I draw upon, as appropriate.
My way of being as a therapist is also informed by my commitment to anti-oppressive practice, openness to individuals’ right to define themselves and their lives, trust in the creative process, and awareness of the interconnectedness in all life.
If you would like to know more, please see my website, or email me. I will respond to your enquiry promptly and if you would like to do so, I would be happy to arrange a brief phone chat and answer any initial questions that you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.
