There is no one-size-fits-all
way to being human
Neither should our approach to healing be.
A relational, person-centered approach to life transitions, ALTERED STATES AND THE COMPLEXITY OF BEING HUMAN
Where healing meets being human
Life does not always arrive in neat, understandable pieces. Trauma, illness, loss, change, altered states, and experiences we don’t have words for can leave us trying to make sense of ourselves.
I don’t believe every struggle needs to be pathologised, explained or fitted into a particular story. My role is to offer a thoughtful, grounded space where we can explore what is happening with curiosity, honesty and care.
We begin with you, exactly where you are.
Areas of support
Trauma & mental health
Psychedelic & altered-state experiences
Relationships & boundaries
Grief, loss & life changes
Identity & belonging
Medical & mental health system harm
Chronic illness
Spiritual experiences & spiritual harm
Or simply whatever life is bringing that
you would like some support with.
My approach is person-centred, relational and integrative. I believe people are complex, and no single way of understanding or working with someone will fit everyone.
I begin with you, not a framework. Together, we find a way of working that makes sense for who you are and what you bring, through conversation, the body, different parts of yourself, meaning-making, or a combination of these.
The relationship is part of the work, not just the place where the work happens. I believe something can emerge between two people that neither could create alone.
ways of working together
I am based in the Deep South, Cape Town. I offer both in-person and online sessions locally, as well as online sessions internationally.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Carey. I’m a Relational Somatic Therapist & Integration Practitioner, and I also work with Energy Healing. My work draws on training and studies across psychological, relational and somatic approaches, altered-state integration and energy medicine..
I work with people navigating trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, altered states and experiences that don’t always fit neatly into conventional boxes.
I’m not a psychologist, and I wouldn’t describe myself as a coach. I use the word therapist in the spirit of its Greek roots, therapeuein: to attend to, to care for. That comes closest to how I understand what I do.
I’m heart-centred, with two feet firmly on the ground. I bring curiosity, honesty and care to this work, alongside a strong commitment to consent, autonomy, scope, continued learning and responsible practice.
