Co-Creational
Relantionship Mentoring

The co-creational Relationship Mentoring approach was developed in 2012 and is rooted in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytical theory. It is an approach that is grounded in the belief that human suffering is a path and not a pathology. We are always in relationship from conception right through to the end of life. It is the quality of those relationships that determines the wellbeing of individuals in all the settings in which we live

The art of this therapeutic approach to mentoring and psychotherapy is the depth to which we are enabled to go within ourselves.

Many of us have a reservoir of sadness, shame, hurts we carry (shoulder) with us from the past. Approaching human suffering from the perspective of co creation rather than conflict resolution is a core element of this approach.. It was important to me that in reaching out for help and support in my quest to understand this journey that what I needed was to feel safe to be able to tell my story, to not feel judged. For someone to help me see that my story mattered, I mattered.

Much of what drives our lives, personal or professional, lies at an unconscious level and will not come into conscious awareness until there is safety to do so.

Finding safety in adulthood often needs to find its start from the experience of a strong relationship with another who can relate in an unconditional manner. Through this safe and co creational relationship the individual becomes more consciously aware of what lies hidden in their story and brings awareness to how the past can influence the present. What may emerge is a realisation of how amazing we are as individuals in creating ways to protect ourselves in the face of hurts and suffering in our lives.

This Approach is applicable to all individuals and helps to support anyone suffering in the following areas;
