Counselling is a very useful way to explore how you think, feel and behave and how you would like this to be different.
Together we can explore the things that have happened to you; explore your relationships with others and how these affect you. Being in a space where you feel safe, heard, free from judgment, focusing on what is important to you can be very impactful.
My role is to listen, reflect, to challenge stuck thoughts and behaviours and to bring theoretical models that allow you to understand what has been difficult for you and where change or acceptance is possible.
EMDR therapy offers an additional way to work with life’s difficulties. I offer EMDR as a stand alone treatment or as part of an integrated approach with counselling.
EMDR is an effective treatment for working with trauma. It works to help you reprocess stuck memories through activating the natural healing ability of the brain. EMDR has been proved to be effective for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief, intrusive thoughts, phobias, pain and addictions. It does not require you to talk in detail about specific traumatic or difficult events and can be very helpful when sometimes there aren’t the words to explain, or they are too difficult to find.
