You might have already heard that Flow Founder Lucy has completed an intensive level 7 Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching at the University of East London.
She has now set up practice in Flow under the new name of EMBARK Counselling and Coaching.
Read on if you want to explore the many benefits of coaching and work towards a more motivated, mindful, and joyful you!
In the yogic texts, we are encouraged to liken our bodies to that of a chariot and our senses to the 5 horses that pull us, our mind is the charioteer and our passenger, the soul.
Coaching is similar to this useful metaphor. In coaching, we honour the universal law of motivation and are ‘coached’ to steer our ship firmly in the direction we choose to go. No longer are we drawn any which way, feeling lost or directionless. Through coaching, we embody the charioteer, and we know clearly which path is right for us to offer meaning, motivation, and maximum fulfilment.
You will be asked to complete an information form before your first session which will include some simple boundaries and safety measures as well as questions about your medical history.
Counsellors and psychotherapists are not medically trained and so cannot, and should not, offer any medical advice. Should your form reveal anything that might raise questions or concerns, I will recommend a conversation with your GP before starting therapy.
I also recognise that complex or chronic mental health conditions, such as bi-polar or schizophrenia, are better handled through the expertise of a medically trained psychiatrist.
Lucy Parker, is a trained and qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, coach, yoga teacher, meditation teacher and breath-work facilitator.
A widow, wife and mother, she describes herself as a “living breathing human becoming – embarking on my own journey many years ago and continuing to bear witness to the adventure.”
Lucy has over 15 years’ experience working privately with clients as a yoga, breath-work and meditation teacher. Working therapeutically with hundreds of clients has taught her one key thing: “We are all ultimately searching for health, to feel truly whole.”
Registered through the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), Lucy has been awarded a level 7 Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London. This unique, pioneering model takes a fully integrated 360-degree view of every person, seamlessly and progressively exploring their past, present and future dynamics within the therapy space.
“Our bodies are much more than ‘taxis for our brains’. That’s why my personal approach to counselling respects and validates our bodies as much as our minds.”
Embark Counselling & Coaching sessions are £80 per hour [60 minutes]
You can choose to pay for one session or in blocks of 6. Details about how to pay will be shared during your first session.
Payment must be made at least 12 hours in advance of your session, via our online booking system.
It’s often difficult to make that first booking which is why I offer a FREE informal 15-minute telephone call before you make your decision.
Thank you so much for your interest in this awesome piece of self-reflection and discovery. We can’t wait to be there to see you flourish.
