One-to-One Sessions
An exploration that begins with you
A session shaped around you
You might come with something that’s been occupying your thoughts, a question you want to explore, something you’re noticing in your body or life, or simply a sense that you’d like to look at something differently.
We begin by listening. As we talk, we may draw your attention to something we’ve noticed – perhaps a word or phrase you keep using, a change in how you’re speaking, or something that seems to come to the foreground. Rather than interpreting this for you, we’ll explore it with you and see what you notice.
The body is always part of that exploration. We might invite you to notice where something is felt, what sensations are present or what changes as you give them attention. A session may also move into breathing, gentle movement, visualisation, meditation or another awareness practice.
There is no set format to work through. We follow what emerges and what feels relevant to explore together.
What might you bring to a session?
There doesn’t need to be a particular kind of problem or a clearly defined goal.
You may be curious about something you’re noticing in your body, movement or breathing. You might be caught up in a familiar way of thinking or responding, questioning something in your life, or interested in exploring an experience that is difficult to put into words.
You may want to explore something that has emerged through one of our courses or classes, or have a question about meditation, awareness or your own practice.
Or you may simply know that something is asking for your attention, without yet knowing quite what that is.
You don’t need to work out what kind of session you need before you come. We begin with what’s there and discover together where the exploration leads.
Amanda
I’ve been exploring meditation, awareness, movement and somatics for nearly thirty years. At the heart of my one-to-one work is acceptance – creating space for your experience to be met as it is, without judgement about whether you should be feeling, thinking or responding differently.
You don’t need to convince me that something is important enough to explore. Something that seems small, confusing or difficult to explain can still deserve attention. We can be curious about what is happening without dismissing it, making it into something bigger than it is, or assuming that I know what it means for you.
I listen closely, ask questions and reflect what I notice, while inviting attention towards your own experience. Conversation may be enough, or we might explore through sensation, movement, breathing, meditation or stillness.
David
My work has developed through many years of exploring somatics, movement, awareness and the nature of experience. At the heart of my one-to-one work is congruence – bringing the different aspects of experience into relationship and allowing wholeness to be present.
We can become very familiar with a story about something – what happened, why it happened, what it means or what should happen next. I am comfortable allowing space and using minimal intervention, guiding attention back towards primary experience: what is actually present before and beneath that story.
Through conversation, sensation, movement, breathing, meditation or simply attention and silence, we can explore what is present. Instead of telling you what your experience means, I support you in coming into contact with it for yourself.

Begin with a conversation
If you’re interested in one-to-one sessions, you can begin with a free 20-minute online chat with both of us. It’s a chance to meet, tell us a little about what has brought you here, ask any questions and get a sense of whether you’d like to continue with either Amanda or David.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want to explore before we meet.
If you’d prefer to write to us first, you’re very welcome to do that instead. Tell us as much or as little as feels useful, and we’ll reply personally.
In their own words
“I always leave each session feeling so much lighter: physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically.”
“Our last session was very transformative regarding language.”
“You clarify and question, so that it stops me from going in to made up stories and allows me to see what is true, and you’ve given me tools to begin to do this for myself … You offer a space where I can observe myself with more clarity, and you model how I can do this.”
“Less prescriptive … you met me where I am at … I feel nourished after I have spoken to you.”
