Stephanie Gooding B.Sc. (hons) M.Sc.

My degrees are in psychology B.Sc. and multicultural counselling M.Sc. I have worked in the NHS Clinical Psychology and the privately as a counsellor, and am now training in Counselling Psychology. I practice complementary therapies and have been practicing Buddhism for about 10 years.

I have worked creatively with energy for about 15 years. Over this time I have explored the healing journey through dreams, creative visualization, creative arts, shamanic healing and ritual, music and voice, dance and movement. I have also practiced Buddhist meditation for about 10 years within the New Kadampa Tradition.

I am offering a safe and confidential space to work through problems or explore and develop yourself further. My understanding of the healing process is that we are not isolated but grow and live as part of a cultural web. The problems we have are like threads in a tapestry of the culture we live in. The patterns of our lives are part of a bigger pattern of our surroundings.

My idea of healing is the return to harmonious relationships with all things- people, nature, ancestry and spirit, the same as the Maori understanding used in the work of the just Therapy team at the Family Centre, New Zealand/Aotearoa. This happens in as many ways as there are people. The aim is to find a way of living characterised by  freedom, belonging and sacredness (sacredness meaning relationships of love and respect).

I am happy to work with emotional, psychological or physical problems, with individuals, couples or families.

I have a particular interest in multicultural and social justice issues in counselling and am happy to arrange translation to work with non-English speaking clients or families.

An initial consultation is free where we can discuss your needs at this time. Sessions can either be counselling or energy work or a mixture of the two. We can talk through any issues before energy treatments or after if they arise during treatments. 

Please feel free to call me on 01382 667788 or call Chrysalis Health and Wellbeing on 480200 or email justtherapy@hotmail.com to discuss or arrange an appointment. I am based in Dundee, home visits are available.
