I support individuals, leaders, teams, and communities in navigating processes of transformation, trauma integration, and human development. Rather than focusing solely on resolving problems, my work is devoted to cultivating the conditions that allow people and systems to reorganise toward greater coherence, agency, and ethical participation.

My approach is grounded in embodied presence and relational attunement. I draw from developmental psychology, trauma therapy, neuroscience, contemplative traditions, and systems thinking to create spaces where deeper intelligence can emerge naturally. I believe that lasting transformation does not come from imposing change, but from restoring the conditions in which our inherent capacity for growth can unfold.

Since 1993, I have been dedicated to the exploration of consciousness, trauma healing, and human development, seeking to bridge scientific understanding with contemplative wisdom. Since 2000, I have worked internationally through individual sessions, group facilitation, professional training, and organisational consulting.

My professional path has included extensive study and practice in Somatic Experiencing®, NARM, Family and Systemic Constellations, the Alexander Technique, Transpersonal Psychology, and contemplative disciplines. Since 2014, I have worked closely with Thomas Hübl as an assistant, mentor, and certified teacher with the Academy of Inner Science, where my work has increasingly focused on the relationship between individual healing and collective transformation.

Alongside my clinical and educational work, I participate in research communities exploring trauma, consciousness, and human development. My current interests include developmental processes, collective intelligence, ethical leadership, and the emergence of more coherent ways of living and working together.

My home base is Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland, and I work internationally, both online and in person.

“I was lucky enough to participate in a workshop led by Giselle in 2016. She brings an exquisite love, tenderness and clarity to her work, and a rare mixture of strength and deep listening. These qualities create an incredibly safe space in which I and others could feel held and seen, and where, therefore, deep inner work could be done.”  -  Belinda James, Coach, Actor; Tisbury, Great Britain.    

"Coming from Mindfulness, body psychotherapies, and Somatic Experiencing, I was searching for a personal therapeutic space which contemplated the different dimensions of these approaches. I found this and much more in my therapy with Giselle. Her approach combining Somatic Experiencing and Family Constellations allowed me to heal deep aspects of my life, which I had not been able to access in previous therapies. The work also facilitated various experiences of expanded consciousness, which could be integrated as we worked completely rooted in bodily sensations and presence. Giselle’s impeccable and loving presence was a great support in this process. It has been a great help in my personal and profesional development." Carlos Cabrera, Psychotherapist, Mindfulness instructor; Montevideo, Uruguay - www.herramientasparalasalud.com

I worked with Giselle during a period of over two years during which time she was periodically visiting the Findhorn Foundation community, where I live. We also worked extensively by Skype. Her work combining Somatic Experiencing, Family Constellations and spiritual practice was, for me, a remarkable combination of skill and sensitivity which helped me a lot in dealing with the effects, sometimes severe, of childhood abuse and trauma on my life. She supported me in learning skills which I can now use myself. I know that I can refer back to her by Skype in the future if I need further support. I am profoundly grateful for Giselle's support and found her to be a very trustworthy person to work with." Dominic Stuart;  Kinloss, Scotland.
