Veronika Appleford Divincova
Veronika believes that everyone has the capacity to access a state of curiosity, courage, playfulness and deep appreciation, to be the wise and compassionate, loving parent to our internal system of parts.
Throughout the sessions she will provide safe space and gentle guidance, respecting your pace, so you can welcome all that is present, without judgement. You will be able to bring new depths to the relationship with your internal landscape, to heal, and to start relating to yourself, others and to the world in a more connected way, with a renewed sense of amazement and joy.
“What strikes me most is the amazing design of our psyche geared for survival. When we start to really appreciate the parts of us that we previously disliked or wanted to get rid of, for their tremendous resilience and skill, the gates of self-compassion open and we experience ourselves in a new way. And that’s only the beginning.”
Veronika is currently based in a small village near Edinburgh and enjoys singing, music, gentle movement and walks in the hills with her husband Mark and their two gorgeous spaniels, Ceilidh and Zeke.
