Vix Thompson
Integrative Psychotherapist
As an integrative, feminist psychotherapist, my practice is trauma informed and offers a safe and affirming space to explore your understanding of yourself through compassionate, respectful and embodied enquiry.
I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 2008 working with children, young people and families in the public sector and since 2021 with adults in private practice. Prior to this I was a dance artist working at the intersection of arts and health facilitating creative expression to support healing in people living with illness.
I bring these sensibilities to my psychotherapy practice to encourage embodied awareness as part of the talking process to help clients to move towards the changes that they want to feel, to navigate emotions, to feel more grounded and present in daily life.
I offer both short- and long-term work, depending on your needs and circumstances and we identify meaningful goals and work towards them collaboratively.
I welcome you and your body however you feel within it. I have experience of effectively supporting people living with anxiety, depression, illness or injury, childhood trauma, neurological disorders, strokes, bereavement, loss, ADHD, ASD, OCD, low mood, relationship difficulties, self harm and life changes.
I offer sessions on Wednesdays mornings The Wellington Centre. Fees : £65 per session.
I look forward to hearing from you. To make an enquiry or book an initial consultation email movingbeing@yahoo.com

I am registered to practice as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor with Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy UK. www.amdpuk.org I have appropriate insurance and comply with GDPR regulations and hold an Enhanced DBS.
