Introducing Janet Thomson, Hakomi Therapy Eurythmy Movement Therapy

About Hakomi

​

The Hakomi Method is a gentle, compassionate form of therapy based in mindful awareness of the body. It draws from several other evidence-based therapies and incorporates concepts from the latest neuroscience research.

​

Mindfulness allows the non-judgmental study of our present moment-to-moment experience. By becoming aware of what is happening in the present, we can recognise our hidden patterns and habits. Once awakened to these previously unconscious processes, we are then able to make new choices about our ways of behaving and being in the world. Many people find this to be powerfully liberating and healing.

​

The therapist works with an attitude of loving presence, encouraging a stance of curiosity, compassion, and acceptance for all that may arise during a therapeutic session.

Acknowledging the connection between mind, body and spirit leads us to a more unified, integrated sense of self. Hakomi honours the essential self as the instrument for transformation and healing.

My approach to my Hakomi work

​

I have found Hakomi to be a powerful and effective therapy for alleviating depression and anxiety, healing past trauma, working through grief, navigating relationships and self-empowerment. I invite my clients into a warm partnership where we can slow down and safely observe their present self-awareness. This starting point allows a deepening into core issues. I create and hold a safe space that allows the client to witness their challenges with curiosity alongside resistance. By maintaining an open, non-reactive attitude, transformational insights, new horizons and choices can arise for the client.

About Eurythmy

​

Eurythmy is an active movement therapy which stimulates the life forces and powers of healing in the human body. It involves movements and gestures to express the sounds of speech or music.

​

Eurythmy generates an experience of integration and alignment between the sense of self, the emotions and the body. It strengthens self-connection, promotes calmness and activates the will in the healing process. Many clients also notice improved posture, mobility, balance, breathing and circulation.

​

​

My approach to Eurythmy Therapy

​

After an initial consultation I develop your personalised programme of movements, to be practiced daily at home. I will often use imagery from nature or ordinary life situations to evoke associative feelings that add meaning to the gestures.

​

Typically, a course of therapy will consist of 7 to 14 sessions, on a weekly basis, although this can vary depending on individual needs and circumstances.

​

I also facilitate weekly group sessions and lead professional workshops.
