Therapist Kapiti
Welcome Friend, my name is Ahly and I offer mind-body-soul support using the psycho-spiritual compass of Hakomi; a mindful somatic (body-based) psychotherapy approach that gently leads us towards our own heart-intelligence and wisdom.
I work with people at their own level through personalised embodied practices such as mindfulness, breathing, somatic tracking, and experiential embodyment using an integrative, body-inclusive psychotherapy model. I have found that Hakomi Psychotherapy is very effective in helping people to understand themselves more fully, and to bring about a greater sense of choice and freedom.
My approach is both gentle and direct. I hold an enormous compassion and sense of wonder for the wounds that come from being human, as well the capacity to see beyond our woundings to that part in each of us that is whole and complete. Together we will cultivate the ability to welcome whatever needs a 'voice' or attention in any given moment and make space for that.
Our bodies know how to heal our emotional pains and traumas, and through the Hakomi approach of facilitated self-enquiry and somatic resilience, you will see positive changes emerge in your life.
As I accompany you on your healing journey, I honour and delight in supporting you in coming home to your true nature; your true Self. This is the foundation of how I work; supporting your natural healing impulse to move towards your own sense of wholeness, and to mindfully study what gets in the way of this impulse.
Together we can create a safe and supportive space to help reconnect you to your innate wisdom leading to healing and growth. I am super excited to join you on your path of self exploration to living an embodied, heart-centered and meaningful life.
I offer a confidential, warm and non-judgmental space for you to share what’s going on for you.
Feel free to reach out If you'd like to know more or make an appointment, I look forward to hearing from you.
