About Soul alchemy
What is Soul Alchemy?
Soul alchemy is a service providing talking therapy. It is a common misconception that mental health is only in the mind. Mental health affects us both psychologically and physiologically. This is because the mind and body are not separate but connected, so anything we experience will affect our mind and bodies, especially in the context of trauma. Consequently, this can affect our relationships and lives in general. My philosophy when engaged in therapy; it's important to consider the person holistically and work with them in every aspect of their lived experience. Working this way helps clients explore all areas of their lives and reconnect parts of themselves which may have become disconnected somewhere along the line, either through learned behaviour or from a specific experience. This exploration process brings all parts of the self into alignment allowing the person to move forward with a positive sense of self and purpose. This is the philosophy behind the name, it reconnects the mind, body and spirit. Soul Alchemy is transformative and integrative.
