While working to unearth traumas and issues impacting individuals and their ability to participate in life, Jan gently but firmly, 'holds' and contains them during their process of 'unravelling.'    In addition to traditional psychotherapeutic methods, Jan uses a variety of techniques including visualisation, breath work and analytic therapy to assist individuals uncover, work through and understand their own personal myths and stories.  Jan also works somatically - "Soma" from the Greek meaning "the living body."   Somatic psychotherapy recognizes that any system of personal change needs to be based upon an understanding of the integration of both mind and body.
