The 5 Freedoms, by Virginia Satir

1. The freedom to see and hear what is here instead of what 'should' be, was, or will be.

2. The freedom to say what you feel or think, instead of what you 'should' feel or think.

3. The freedom to feel what you feel, instead of what you 'ought' to feel.

4. The freedom to ask for what you want, instead of always waiting for permission.

5. The freedom to take risks on your own behalf, instead of choosing to be only 'secure'.

Barrie Foster - Lead Practitioner
Barrie Foster - Lead Practitioner

"Through study, life experience, spending time with different influential people, and nurturing my abilities, my current work has evolved into the honed skills I can use with you today.

I believe you are a unique individual, and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity: everything you share with me, I will treat in the strictest of confidence, and without judgment. There are many therapists out there who will apply therapeutic models onto you as a client: ask you to complete an online course, even suggest that you take part in a zoom therapy group. Then perhaps put you back on a waiting list. These are helpful, they serve a purpose, but I fear can be limited in your progression. Often keeping you in a circle of frustration instead of goal achieving.

I work with your own unique process to help release stuck or trapped emotions. The subjective experience of being able to physically sit in front of your therapist, in person, face to face, cannot be fully replaced by an intermediary. Although, knowing you have the freedom to telephone or email your therapist to make an appointment sooner, can be reassuring and help you feel more in control of your well-being and future. I believe we should all be treated holistically, subjectively, and individually, to help bring out the strengths within our own personality: to help process our own emotions, to help you grow as a person, to help you heal as an individual, and to help you live your best life possible. Instead of struggling through alone: With Steps 2 Healing, together, we can work as a team, and help you create a better, brighter and happier future."
