Authentically You

Counselling & Psychotherapy with Sibi Harris-Moore MBACP

All the services on offer come from a mixture of professional experience and my personal passion for supporting individuals and families. Each offering is grounded in my approach of curiosity and the belief that taking the time to lay the groundworks of feeling safe and connected help to create deep and long-lasting changes.  

Authentically You is about carving out the time to get warm, dedicated support and discovering more about yourself and what can help you to flourish.   Authentically You offers support to those seeking therapy and parents/carers who may be struggling with how to respond to children in their care. 

If you are an organisation interested in group bookings, please go to my Group Workshops section. If you are unsure which service would suit you best, then please contact me. I am currently offering a free, first session so you can experience how I work and we can make an informed decision.

Psychotherapy & Counselling:

My experience shows me that you feeling safe, seen and heard help to build the relational foundation to a supportive therapeutic experience, and the research supports this. I aim to hold a space where you can unload and create a little more room to figure things out together. My approach is warm, explorative and authentic.
My approach integrates Attachment, trauma-informed practice, neuroscience, somatic (nervous system) work, Parts work, creative approaches and CBT.
I work with clients with a variety of backgrounds and identities and I am a systemic practitioner, aware of systems of privilidge and oppression that impact people on an individual and collective level.

Coaching for Parents & Carers

I have worked, for the last 5 years+, in social, emotional and mental health provisions. This included working with families for anywhere between 6 weeks and 2+ years, every week. I am familiar with the kind of challenges you can face in schools, such as applying for an EHCP or negotiating with school staff.  I also bring my experience as a counsellor with understanding of attachment to support you to build a secure foundation with your child, deal with behavioural challenges, know how to respond during conflict and how to put boundaries in place. I offer one-to-one support to help parents see the light at the end of the tunnel, feel less alone and create pro-active plans for their children. I know from personal and professional experience that it truly does take a village to raise a child.

Here are my offerings in this area: 
⁃ Incorporating elements of hand in hand parenting
⁃ The role of inter-generational trauma
⁃ Working with neuroscience and attachment
⁃ Inner child work and working with our triggers as parents
⁃ Resources I can share to support understanding
⁃ Actionable strategies to take home
⁃ Help with understanding and managing big feelings and behaviours of anger, sadness and worry in a way that is accessible to children and adults
⁃ Play, art, communicative musicality, drama, movement and therapeutic stories

Group Workshops

Attachment & Trauma-informed Psychoeducational courses for parents/carers.
If you are struggling to know how to respond to a young person in your life who is having social, emotional or mental health difficulties, then this course can support you. We will work reflectively to look at your relationship with your child as the base of their sense of safety in the world. Using attachment theory, neuroscience and trauma-informed practices we will learn as a group and apply new understanding and strategies to your specific situation, supporting each other as a group.

About Sibi

I have worked for the last 5+ years with individuals, parents and families in private practice and schools around Devon. I have experienced a variety of areas including, facilitating regenerative culture and wellbeing groups, working with children, young people and parents, and working with conflict. 

My own experience of therapy led me into wanting to work with others. I have a systemic view of the world and I understand the impact unjust systems have on the Earth and on peoples' emotional and physical wellbeing.

I love to spend time outdoors, in the quiet and in nature. I find movement and the natural world beautiful and regulating. I believe we have the power to improve our own lives and the lives of one another by inhabiting our authentic self.
