Consultant Clinical Psychologist

Isabel Clarke is a consultant clinical psychologist with over 30 years’ experience working as a therapist in the NHS with people with complex problems. Meeting Mental Breakdown Mindfully: How to Help the Comprehend, Cope and Connect Way, recently published by Routledge, communicates her emotion-centred approach to mental health (CCC) to a wider audience. CCC is currently being applied widely within the UK National Health Service, where it both provides a holistic psychological understanding of their difficulties and ways forward for the individual, and enables a team to work psychologically.

Faith and spirituality are central to this holistic understanding and her innovative approach to psychosis, views it, along with spirituality, as a universal potential of human experiencing, which can go wrong. Psychosis and Spirituality: consolidating the new paradigm, edited, Wiley, (2010) and Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God, ‘O’ Books, (2008) explore these ideas. See www.isabelclarke.org

“My friend…care for your psyche…know thyself, for once we know ourselves we may learn how to care for ourselves” (Socrates) Whether it’s in our health, finances, work or relationships, fallibility and imperfection are unavoidable aspects of being human. Yet we often react to our inevitable human failings with self-criticism and negativity, which lead to stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. The antidote to this is self-compassion – something we can cultivate so we face our 'failings' with kindness, patience and understanding. This helps build positive and productive relationships with ourselves and others.

Coaching professionals through mental and emotional blocks using psychological, spiritual and energetic understandings

Since having a spiritual experience at 13 years old, which prompted the question “Who am I?”, Donna has spent the last 40 years seeking to answer that question for herself.

In her early 20’s, Donna started her career as a graphic designer in London’s creative industry. For 22 years she had roles at the BBC, then as a freelancer and then as a creative director of her co-founded design studio, Evolve. She worked with clients such as MINI, Ford Motor Company, Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces, John Lewis Partnership, NHS, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Horticultural Society, The Arts Council and The Design Council.

Alongside her creative career, Donna kept seeking to understand herself through psychological, spiritual and energetic experiences and study.

In the early 90’s, Donna joined the College of Psychic Studies in South Kensington, London, and spent many years developing her natural empathic and intuitive abilities. She completed psychic and healing trainings which led her to find her own ‘master’ in these disciplines, who she worked with for the next 10 years.

Donna continued to develop her understanding of psychology from her own experiences and study, from training in NLP, and from completing a 2-year certified coaching programme specialising in mind, thought and consciousness.

Throughout her career, Donna has maintained a deep desire to understand how creative professionals perform their best in the workplace which lead her to study high-performance states such as flow and its psychological, neurological and consciousness areas of research.

After spending many years coaching creative industry professionals, for the past few years Donna has also been working with clients outside of the creative industry, using the psychological, spiritual and energetic understandings that she’s gained to help professionals get beyond their deep mental and emotional blocks so that they can thrive.

World In Motion | Regulating the Human Race With the Vagus Nerve, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Breath & Movement

Lorna Evans | The Mind Movement 2022 | [email protected]

Trauma occurs when a choice is taken away from us. As humans, we need choice to self regulate, feel safe, create coping strategies and thrive. Self-regulation is essential for our sense of agency, positive self-esteem and wellbeing. We find equilibrium through the gentle rhythms of eye contact, smiling, crying, talking, laughing, hugging and unconsciously regulating the breath.

The pandemic, driven by a narrative of fear; isolated and silenced the human race. Our community is now working with the tsunami of mental and physical illness across all generations; children, young people, the elderly, caused by the dysregulation of a human race who had a primal need to feel safe.

Memory of trauma is housed and re-enacted in the body. Traditional Psychotherapy approaches trauma resolutions as something that needs to be worked through and understood. However, in this workshop, we will explore how various interventions can create change for trauma survivors.

We will explore the role that

Have as interventions to create state changes, using a framework of neuroscience. The workshop will give you practical tools to integrate the body into your client work both online and in person.
