Jane Chippendale
I envision working together to be a collaborative, synergistic experience. Deep listening, commitment to the present moment, and a compassionate heart are the pillars of my practice. I have studied many techniques and interventions with esteemed teachers, but I always come back to these simple foundations. Although not always pleasant, sensations in the body can serve as an effective teacher.
First session
The first session is about building rapport and connection, and secondly identifying what areas you would like to process and cultivate growth in.
Strengths
I love garden analogies. If you planted a seed in your garden that didn't grow, would you blame the seed? I doubt you would. Instead, most of us would ask, what conditions in the environment stunted this seeds growth? A natural law of the universe is that time plus the right conditions , leads to growth, this is our natural evolution. How can I support your on your journey ?
Ideal clients
I work with all types of clients. I have tremendous empathy for clients who might hold skeptical belief systems regarding therapy. We live in a world that is built with systems that benefit some more than others, and in order to support the individual, we must understand the larger systems at play. Clients that are willing to try something a little bit different, are the ones that I see benefit to the greatest degree.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have extensive experience leading groups and working individually with Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and believe this is an exceptional tool that can support clients in working through difficult emotions and hardship; instead of pushing unwanted emotions away, I invite clients to practice self regulating and grounding techniques and connect with the soma (their body), to ultimately practice feeling, allowing this discomfort to move and change form, which is, of course, the nature of all things.
