​Connie Crawford is a BACP registered counsellor working in private practice. Connie had a somewhat unusual journey to becoming a counsellor. Before training as a counsellor, Connie worked as both a commercial lawyer and a yoga teacher. This means she has first hand experience of working in - and then leaving - a demanding service-based corporate profession. Connie tends to support busy professionals who are feeling anxious, depressed or close to burn out who want to make sense of what’s going on, develop new ways of coping and reclaim their authentic selves to live with more ease, meaning and joy.

 

Connie is passionate about the therapeutic applications of psychedelics and psychedelic integration work.

​

Therapeutic Approach:​

Connie’s therapeutic approach is rooted in Psychosynthesis, an integrative model that draws on Psychodynamic, Existential, transpersonal and Mindfulness-based approaches to therapy. Connie also has extensive experience in teaching yoga which means she is interested in nervous system regulation, including the body in therapy, supporting spiritual themes and integrating experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness.​
