Stephen Tame - Embodied Relational Therapy

Relational body psychotherapy & wild therapy for adults
Training for psychotherapists, counsellors and other practitioners.

Psychotherapy offers you the opportunity to take some time out and make some sense of it all.
You deserve to be met with respect, compassion and sensitivity, and to be supported to find your way through to a life of less distress and more peace and vitality.

We start by meeting, building safety and trust, exploring the strengths and resources which help you to move towards greater contentment and enthusiasm in your life.

If it feels safe and helpful to do so, we look at unfolding the stories which hold you back.

We work in a way which feels comfortable for you – usually talking and listening, other ways we can work together include:

-bringing attention to body sensations, movement impulses or symptoms
-working directly with your breathing pattern
-working with physical touch
-sand tray, drawing, writing, making
-working with nature, either in the therapy room, or outdoors in a dedicated space in the garden
-paying attention to what happens between us as human beings

We bring compassionate attention to what is happening right now, and support the process of positive change.
