Meet The UK Trainers

Lea (Vajralila)

I am a Lifespan Integration Certified Practitioner, Supervisor, UK Trainer, and Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist (PgDip) specialising in trauma, attachment, and complex living systems. With over 25 years exploring how humans naturally reorganise toward wholeness, my work integrates systems theory with deeply attuned, body-based therapeutic practice. I am particularly interested in how Lifespan Integration supports the nervous system to update implicit memory, integrate younger self-states, and restore a cohesive sense of self.

My clinical experience spans grassroots community organisations, addiction recovery settings, and LGBTQIA+ spaces, where I have worked with individuals and groups facing diverse and often marginalised experiences. These environments taught me the importance of attunement, relational safety, and the profound resilience of the human system when given the right conditions for healing.

Across all of my work, whether with trauma survivors, queer communities, or people in recovery, I hold a deep respect for each person’s inner wisdom — the “actualising tendency,” as Carl Rogers described. Lifespan Integration aligns closely with this belief, allowing the system to reorganise naturally, with the therapist offering presence, containment, and trust.

Outside of my clinical practice, I live with my wife and our two beloved Irish doodles, who keep life joyful and grounded. My personal inspirations include Buddhism and non-duality teachings, Kirtan, Joanna Macy’s wisdom, Peggy Pace’s discoveries with timeline repetition, Brandi Carlile’s music, and the raw, courageous poetry of the late Andrea Gibson. These influences continue to shape my understanding of healing, interconnectedness, and the creative unfolding of the human journey.
