Solace With Lydie: Psychotherapy and Coaching

Lydie has experience working in various different mental health services, in juvenile detentions, safe houses, online and in her own private practise. She continues her mandatory CPD hours continuously learning more about mental health topics, protocols, treatments and procedures.

🔆 Psychotherapy:

She utilises integrative, evidence based techniques for clinical mental health trauma treatment. Following the trauma treatment protocol, starting at the foundational stages of regulation, stabilisation and containment of trauma related symptoms, then moving onto supporting individuals to safely explore any past stuck traumas.

Through Neuro Biological, Psycho-Social Theoretical Frameworks, somatic and cognitive therapy methods, the body and mind are supported through the process of moving through trauma.

Neuroplasicity and somatic work is at the core of why this treatment provides long lasting change. The exact models which are utilised in this work are as follows. Present centred therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, neuro effective relational model (NARM), IFEEL Cognitive Processing Restructuring - a Trauma Focused CBT model, sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, stress inoculation training and dialectical behaviour therapy.

🔆 Personal/Professional Development Coaching:
These sessions provide people with up skilling in emotional regulation, resilience and trauma informed psychoeducation. By exploring boundaries, communication, self awareness and more, a more nourishing relationship with yourself, others and the world is possible. This service is for everyone, helping to empower people to be more authentically themselves. Though this is a lighter touch than Psychotherapy sessions, major change processes occur, with similar neuroplasticity alterations. These are powerful coaching sessions which can help support you in life, through challenges and transitions with a present and future focused mindset.

🔆 Equine Assisted Services
Lydie also provides in person Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions in East Grinstead, East Sussex, UK. EquiSolace provides a range of Trauma-Informed Equine Assisted Services, where horses help humans to embody real, lasting change. By providing a safe space for the body, so the mind can be fully present, we can work through uncomfortable feelings, benefiting all areas of our lives.

Equine Assisted Services are where people have the opportunity to work with horses, inviting them to join them on their journey of recovery and self discovery of authentic self. The benefits of Equine Assisted Services are now being recognised worldwide, helping people to feel less stressed, less anxious, less depressed, the list goes on. By building resilience, emotional regulation, confidence and working through stuck beliefs and uncomfortable feelings, people are supported to feel more present in themselves and in wider community. Rather than traditional talk therapies and development strategies, an up to date, embodied, integrative approach with the help of horses, is providing a more established mental health and personal development experience for all.
