Vanessa Murphy

Psychotherapist

In my thirties I felt the need to deepen my psychological work by bringing all my trainings and personal experiences together. I had been working as a drama teacher with children and ran my own school, and I also had a meditation practice and the love of yoga. I then trained as a Transpersonal Counsellor and psychotherapist with the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology in London and I have an advanced diploma in Transpersonal psychotherapy and accreditation with the UKCP. I have been experiencing Internal family system work. I have also trained in EMDR, in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for trauma.
