Henrietta Bowen
Psychotherapist
Coach
Facilitator
Performer
Therapy, storytelling and creative coaching - to tell, to feel, to heal and to transform. Through the stories we tell we remember who we are, we recover what was lost, we create our worlds.
Henrietta Bowen
Henrietta qualified as an integrative psychotherapist in 2010 and has over 12 years of clinical experience. Her work is enriched by personal practice, breathwork, ceremony, love of nature and a lifelong devotion to exploring the vastness of human experience and expressing it through creation. Whether in one-to-one therapy or community gatherings, she offers spaces where authenticity, playfulness, compassion and new possibilities can emerge. She is ever curious about how best to support the expression of those parts of ourselves we struggle with most, and to reconnect us with our power to choose and create a life we love.
Offerings
Therapeutic Support
Therapy, deep listening and thoughtful enquiry, drawing where appropriate on approaches such as breathwork and life story work, in service of greater authenticity, creativity and freedom. Through loving permission, we can make space for the full range of feelings and, in doing so, recover more of who we are, restoring lost vitality.

Testimonials
Henrietta Bowen is an extraordinarily talented space holder, facilitator and psychotherapist. Her capacity to see each and every individual deeply, and to sense what they might need in a space, brings an incredible amount of settling, safety and confidence when doing deep process work. I have worked with Henrietta for several years now and absolutely love sharing space and facilitating alongside her. She is insightful and wise, loving and generous, and brings enormous sensitivity and intuition to the work. And then there are all the other parts of her. She is an incredible performer, spoken word artist and writer. I sometimes think of Henrietta as the multiverse. There are so many dimensions to her, and somehow they all find their way into the spaces she holds and the people she works with.

Henrietta’s presence as a facilitator was a balm that kept our tender group of seekers well and grounded during our very intense season of story exploration together. Henrietta’s ability to infuse gravity with humor, at all the right moments, is a gift to those lucky enough to work with and be shepherded by her. She is deeply reflective and holds up a shining, smiling mirror to others so that they can see themselves more clearly merely through her connection and presence.

Henrietta has a wonderful mind and way of relating. She has the rare capacity to not only perceive the depth and possibilities of artistic ideas, but also to articulate them with a grounded clarity that combines her considerable intelligence, depth of insight, compassion and expansive imagination. I would highly recommend working with Henrietta to help bring forth what is true for you in your artistic and creative life.

Henrietta's breathwork has been one of my most beautiful experiences of a naturally altered state of consciousness, grounded in my body, reconnecting to the life that flows in and out of me. Over a few years of practicing with her, it has ignited profound insight and physical and emotional releases. At times flooding me with a renewed understanding of my essence, as well as inspiration for some of my most therapeutic artworks.
Henrietta works with incredible care. There is such quality in her presence, attentiveness and perceptiveness.
Her work is both gentle and powerful, and there is no doubt that she invokes something truly angelic to accompany her.
