About Imke Wood

The vision

We are born with the ability to overcome adversity and obstacles of any magnitude and to develop the strength to be happy, engaged and fulfilled – wherever we come from, whatever we are facing

This vision has driven me to offer personalised service and support options ranging from home visits to my new retreat centre in Cornwall/Lostwithiel(hyper link to retreat page). It has also given birth to my charity work with Creative Expression, a charity working with the most vulnerable in society and their carers.

Qualifications and Experience

I am an HPC, BACP Arts Psychotherapist and BAAT Supervisor, MSc in Educational Science and Remedial Pedagogy, BA Drama, Dip in ILM Leadership and Management, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Open Space Facilitator.

My back ground is as performer and actress on German and international stage. I have used my drama training to understand the link between, body and emotion, body language and non verbal communication which has informed and enriched my psychotherapeutic practise over the years.

What do I practise?

I provide dedicated services to people who want to find their strength, make their right decisions move on and create their live.

Most people don't need ongoing, lengthy, costly and 'in depth' analysis but only want the brief support they need to 'get over' and 'get on' with their lives. I thoroughly believe in brief and effective support like that. Open and inspirational contact including creativity taps into our human blueprint, brings out vision and focus and ability to change. Guidance through Art Psychotherapy is an incredibly powerful method to engage with that blueprint fast and sustainably.

Our blueprint namely our inner most core is always on the search of balancing, enabling and creating the most whole and satisfying way of being for ourselves. When we tap into our core resources and knowledge we will feel tangible, real changes in our outlook, energy, professional and private ability and strength. Knowing and enhancing this strength will lead to enjoyable self development and success.

I have concentrated my training and work over the years around methods stimulating individuals to open up to new positive behaviour changing emotions, to enhance awareness and to support self-esteem and confidence within a safe and tolerant environment.

My work engages people with communication and emotional problems with others, teaching stress management, conflict resolution, assertiveness, communication. The new awareness and skills will increased ability to interact effectively within private and professional settings.

I coach both groups and individuals, training and supervision and have been working in training and facilitation for 20 years.
