Poly-cultural multipotentiality
We are all particular in our plurality
I always felt wrong.
I haven’t gone up the ladder of promotion,
the uni-linear path to success and approval.
I don’t have ‘a thing’.
If you ask me what I do,
I don’t know where to start.
If you ask me about my relationships,
I don’t know how to answer.
I never know
which bits to choose,
what to put in,
what to leave out.
People want a simple answer;
What me to tell them,
reassuringly,
I am a teacher
a mother
a coach.
A noun.
Fixed.
Static.
Defined.
I think I am more verb.
You see,
I have skittered,
rambled,
explored,
nosed,
poked,
meandered,
dabbled,
dreamed,
scrabbled,
bled,
cried,
danced,
laughed,
loved,
hated,
sniffed,
immersed,
pruned,
seeded,
mixed,
died back,
sprung up,
transplanted,
uprooted,
planted,
mulched,
woven,
imagined,
pollinated,
investigated.
I am more patchwork polyculture,
multi-potentialite, wild, hedgerow edges,
than mono-cultural field,
Thank you Jon Lydon for another great photo.

I have over 30 years of experience and qualification in various therapeutic and meditation/mindfulness based approaches. I work with change. Some changes we chose, others happen to us. Sometimes we know we want to change but don't know how. Sometimes we don't want to change but external events or people are forcing us to change. The menopause, children leaving home, the end of a relationship or job, becoming a parent, coming out, bereavement are just some of the personal changes I support people with. I also work with people who want to make changes to their life and wider world in response to social issues such as Covid, the climate crisis and racial, sexual and gender inequalities. Times are changing whether we want them to or not and we need to be nimble, agile, curious and open in order to part of the new story emerging. Work with me to get clear on what matters to you, what makes your heart sing and what kind of future you want for yourself and those you love. It is possible to live differently, get in touch to explore how.
