GEMMA LEVITAS
What is Indivudation?
A short answer to a big question - and the heart of how I work.
Something I've noticed in my years as a Therapeutic Coach, is that most people are really good at being who others expect them to be. They're great at the role.
Polished.
Capable.
Often quietly exhausted.
The question I sit with, and the one I bring to every session is: But who are you, underneath all of that?
It is our life's work to become who we were always meant to be.
It is a journey of self-discovery - and you don't have to do it alone.
Individuation is a concept from Jungian psychology, and it's become the heart of everything I do.
Simply put, it's the process of becoming whole.
Of shedding the layers of conditioning, fear, and other people's expectations — and re-meeting yourself, perhaps for the first time in a long time.Not the version of you who performs a role.
The person underneath, your true self.
I've walked this hill myself, and will walk it with you - so get in touch to begin your journey.
Warmly,
Gemma

In an article for The Daily Express & Daily Mirror newspapers, Gemma Levitas shares tips on how to keep your relationship fresh and re-meet your partner:
Lost connection with your Partner?
AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT:
"Re-meeting your Partner" is a process Gemma created and use in my work with those wanting to encourage or rediscover connection in their relationship. It includes 7 ways to improve:
-
Communication
-
Conflict resolution
-
Trust
-
Boundaries
-
Empathy
-
Intimacy (both sexual and non-sexual)
-
Unity
The bonus is, following these 7 tips will encourage the brain to release oxytocin, the bonding hormone! So, as with much of my work, there's science behind it too.

AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT
Re-meeting Yourself
A few years ago, I started writing about the idea of re-meeting your partner — the small, intentional act of looking at someone you know well and deciding to meet them fresh.
No assumptions. No old stories. Just curiosity.
And then I realised: we need to do the same with ourselves.
When did you last approach yourself with that kind of openness? When did you last ask yourself - who am I, right now, in this moment?
Not who I was, or who I'm supposed to be.
Who am I, now?
That's Re-meeting Yourself.
It's one of the most powerful places we go in our work together.
