At first we will explore what brings you to therapy now, what your 'perfect day' might be, and what will help you achieve this. As we work together, I will be alongside you to understand impacts of trauma, childhood, and family legacies, and to develop behavioural, interpersonal, and communication skills, through CBT and, if appropriate, to resolve trauma through EMDR and expressive therapies.
