In Person Consultations
Philosophy & Vision
I offer my full belief in each person, accepting all their parts, conscious and unconscious. I hold a person in their wholeness and greatly respect what it is for a them to show up to themselves and work with the challenging aspects within. This belief is built from years of exploring my own inner life with the help of my many mentors and has enabled me to not shy away from the difficult parts of the process. In session, we work together to expand our awareness of unknown parts and how they work, so they can be brought in and integrated. This is achieved by paying attention to what is occurring in the present moment and in the body.
Services
This work can be difficult at times, but ultimately one of the most worthwhile endeavours in a person's life, giving a sense of meaning and purpose. It is with this meaning and purpose people are better able to engage with the fullness of their lives. Both in the capacity to work through difficulties, and in connecting to what really matters to them.

A conversation with Rowan Druce
-
I was drawn to psychotherapy as I have an interest and care for people's inner worlds. I have benefited from others having held my experience of being an individual person with support and understanding. This enabled me to come into better understanding of myself and be able to accept more of myself. Few people have been properly listened to, or engaged with someone who tries to understand them without judging them. This is really something transformative and enables deep genuine growth. I am drawn to the profession so that I may offer this to people.

I have been influenced by the psychodynamic theories and Analytical psychology (Jungian theory), through to the approaches of Arnold Mindell with Process oriented psychology, as well as the Hakomi method and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I believe by holding the maps of the human psyche as envisioned by Carl Jung and many of the early psychoanalysts, the three modern approaches of Process work, the Hakomi method, and IFS can be used as complementary ways to explore a persons inner experiences. I believe It is with these three modern methods being used together that deep work can be done most safely and efficiently.

I have been transformed by therapy myself. I have developed a calmness and inner balance I never thought possible. I still engage in the therapeutic process.

The world is an interwoven web. To focus on a single problem as most significant runs too great a risk of losing perspective of the interconnected nature of life. Like the world, a person is not a single problem but an ecology that needs to be brought into balance.
