What is DreamWork?

“One never knows what one may be releasing when one begins to analyse dreams. Something deeply buried and invisible may thereby be set in motion.”

Carl Jung

DreamWork is a kind of counselling, of sorts, but differs to ordinary counselling as the method primarily holds space for the unconscious, and is heavily guided by it, but what is the unconscious? Deeply mysterious, by its very nature… and if one takes a proactive approach, they will find that being guided by our dreams, opens space for the higher-self – wisdom that resides within. 

I have been dreaming of the moon, beaming breathtakingly large on the horizon my whole life. If the Sun is the source of life on earth, then the moon reflects this light in the darkness. As a DreamWorker I’ve come to realise that these series of life-long Moon dreams, point towards my souls purpose: to reflect wisdom and to shine a light in the darkness.

I’ve integrated Person Centred Therapy from my Counselling Skills training in my work, meaning that I act as a guide and reflect wisdom indirectly to my clients, encouraging them to integrate and listen to their own intuition.

Both me and my clients are primarily lead by child-like playful curiosity and intuition rather than what we intellectually think. This is the major difference between DreamWork and standard therapy, although the analytical mind does come into play, but through the process, it’s is not allowed to block intuition and play.  This work encourages connection to our higher-self and intuition and the results are palpable.

1. First we must hold space and start from our feelings, creativity and intuition. We must except that our nighttime Dreams are experiences in consciousness, that are just as ‘real’ as the experience of you reading this text.
2. Secondly ground these non-physical night-time experiences in logic, reason and practicality.
3. Finally and most importantly, we must create Action Plans from these night-time experiences in order to integrate the wisdom of the dream into our waking reality so we can uncover psychological stones and take unexpected, and often delightful new paths that help encourage and nurture our growth. 

I bring in my higher-self, life experience and extensive dream examples to the table, but there’s some deeper intelligence beyond me and my ego in the mix. I have an uncanny ability of asking the right questions to the client, I might not have a clue why I’m asking the question at the time, but the client soon sets me straight, when they give the answer. It all becomes clear through the process. Clarity is all we can hope for in this life and clarity is especially needed when looking at our dreams.

This work is highly complementary along side seeing a therapist. The amount of times that clients have said that they brought up topics raised in our dream-sessions in their sessions with their therapist, and fed back to me that their therapist was surprised with and complimentary to them on their progress…

The difficulties we face in the dreamtime can almost always mirror difficulties we are facing in waking life and vice versa. Yet proactively processing the darkest of dreams can lead to the brightest of light, flooding into our lives, bringing perspective & clarity.

I will very happily act as a guide and lead you to your own inner wisdom via impartial, honest, and detailed feedback. 

I have studied Psychotherapy, Counselling Skills, Understanding Autism and have been trained in Dream Teacher Training and have a continued grounded practice in Vipassana meditation. 

No matter how long or even, incredibly short your dream is (or disturbing) don’t fear, we can unpack the wisdom of your dream together.

In order to honour the dream’s potency, please tell the dream in the first person, as it’s happening, I’ll then ask a series of questions and eventually give you detailed feedback.
