Janet Hand PhD

A warm welcome to new clients, I offer a holistic approach and a commitment to embodied experience as well as offering first-hand account of my own prior fragmentation & overwhelm with how I slowly came back to earth! I specialise in overwhelm & trauma, and work part-time in a residential farm clinic for mental health and addiction behaviours where I make full use of the landscape, the resources, the living creatures and large spaces for group as well as individual work.

I initially trained in anatomical release and contact improvisation both of which use visualization techniques that I now employ with clients. I spent many years working first in performance and then in fine art before re training in Psychotherapy and counselling. Recently, I have adapted to my own Rheumatoid Arthritis and am mindful of adapting to others’ physical needs, happy to make home visits locally. I offer an integrative approach with a range of modalities: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy , IFS, psychodynamic therapy and EMDR.
