Sheena Oxer

I have a degree in Molecular Biology and have worked in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Genetics Research, and as a Research Fellow in my local medical school co-ordinating a research project. My recent years have been focused on raising my children/ my family.

All my life I have been searching for something.  I have been on numerous courses, listened to many people on line and read many books. I have been given many tools and things to do but never anything like this.

I had an intellectual understanding of so much but embodying the ideas felt at best effortful, and at worst impossible.

I was searching, I thought that there was something wrong with me, that I needed fixing in some way in order to be a ‘normal’ human being. Through this understanding of how my mind already works I see that I am working/functioning beautifully, that nothing needs fixing. Through this lens of the understanding I see life differently. The anxiety which has been with me since childhood is falling away, the judgment of myself is falling away and hence also the judgment of others. I say falling rather than fallen, as there is always more to learn.

I have gone from a feeling of searching to a feeling of peace and of coming home to myself, to who I have always been. From a feeling that I had a core of sadness running through who I really was to a knowing that this is, in fact, not possible.

This has been gently impactful on my life through insights and although I see that others are working beautifully too, I see that our ideas of suffering can be alleviated for us through this understanding. I work with individuals and groups to share this logic of how our minds really work.

I am particularly interested in working with you if you are looking for anxiety counselling, as that is part of my history. I feel that this could be the things that you are looking for. I work from home in Devon. I also work internationally as most of my work is online via Zoom as well which is like Skype.
