find support on the journey back to your true self.

Healing truly begins when we can find a way to look beneath the surface of our struggles and tune into what they are really trying to tell us. As Gabor Maté says, “trauma is not what happened to you; it’s what happened inside of you as a result of what happened to you”. Beyond the memory of the events themselves, we often, subconsciously, learned that parts of our being were not acceptable - we were not worthy of love, or we were too much, or that some part of our emotional expression was not welcome.

These ingrained beliefs play out across our lives as patterns of behaviour that limit our experience of the world and keep us from becoming all we could be. I help my clients bring these programs and patterns into conscious awareness so they can finally be integrated. In this way, healing is really a process of finding more peace and acceptance for who you truly are.

Embrace Everything is run by James Garside - a psychotherapist, workshop facilitator and men’s group leader. I offer integration psychotherapy services, in-person from my space in Kettering, Northants, online over Zoom, or out in nature. I also run workshops and retreat days, and men’s support circles as part of Brotherhood Men’s Groups.
