50. Where Psychotherapy meets Spirituali...

About this episode

Given our many mini voice note marathons on Whatsapp, Julia and I finally sat down to speak at length about the topics we usually talk about in private. In this episode, I got to interview one of my closest, sweetest, sister and friend. It was so special having her on the show to share her message, mission and path.

As a spiritual psychotherapist, she shares about why she has merged both spirituality and psychotherapy. Perhaps contrary to popular belief, these two modalities can act as a beautiful marriage giving you the tools and the language to heal more deeply.

Together we open up the topics of victim consciousness and how that had stopped us both from going down the path our souls felt called to exploring, as well as womb wisdom, endometriosis, spirit babies and plant medicine.

Julia is a psychotherapist working in private practice with clients both local to London and internationally. Formally trained at Oxford University, she cites her own (ongoing) journey into her mental, emotional, spiritual, physical energetic Self as her greatest teacher and guide to integrating multiple modalities and creating an adaptable language that will be most helpful to her clients and others.

She is passionate about leading her clients back home to themselves, exploring where they are unconsciously restricted by internal narratives, playing out harmful attachment patterns and abandoning their intuition. Because of her own experiences, Julia is particularly interested in the topic of womb health and birth and its correlation with overall consciousness.

Outside of private practice, Julia, together with a team of experts, have been devoted to bringing people together for transformative retreats featuring the ceremonial use of plant wisdom, Breathwork and combining her professional therapeutic skills to prepare, contain and help integrate her clients experiences.
