My Approach
“EK” in Gurmukhi means “One.”
​
Integration of the Soul, Mind and Body means we’re able to reach a more fulfilled state and way of living.
​
How does Oneness come into therapy? My approach is about recognising that the Soul, Mind and Body are all crucial for a person to feel wholesome, connected, grounded and safe.
The Soul holds healing potential but is often missed from Western Psychotherapy models. Some may call it their 'gut' or 'intuition' - we all have it, but may struggle to fully access it. You don't need to be 'religious' to feel connected to deeper layers of yourself or benefit from a space that is full of empathy, warmth and understanding.
​
Oneness is the very core of EK Therapy.
What does Soul, Mind & Body healing look like?
Stories & Creative Play, serve as symbols on pain, grief and joy, when the words are buried deep within.
​
Somatics (body-based), is an inherently Indigenous and Ancestral practice. Distress leads to separation between the three elements, but embodied work creates wholeness again.
​
Spirituality, where God, the Universe, or the Ego-less Self exists within all beings. It is ever-present and offers hope.
​
Social-Justice Led, means commitment to an anti-oppressive, anti-colonial and an Intersectional approach at all times.
A verbal and non-verbal approach to Psychotherapy.
Drama Therapy allows for us to communicate through gesture, body, play, imagery and symbolism. This is helpful for those impacted by speech difficulties, or simply those who struggle to express through words.

​
A way to access the unconscious.
Trauma is experienced through the body, senses and emotions, making it an unconscious reaction to difficult events. It is the residue of trauma within the nervous and internal systems that keeps people traumatised.
An indirect approach to your experiences and problems.
Drama Therapy offers distance through creative means, making difficult things feel easier to approach.
An embodied way of working.
The body does not lie. By activating the body in Drama Therapy, our deeply held stories and emotions can be acknowledged, discharged and processed.
A bottom-up approach.
My approach focuses on working with the body to feel safe and stabilised before any exploration. This reduces the risk of traumatisation by focusing on the nervous system, feelings and sensations first.
