Specialising in high risk adolescents and adults, I offer contemporary psychoanalysis and EMDR resulting in powerful therapeutic benefits. Integrating several types of therapy (CBT, solution focused, problem solving), psychoanalysis informs my work in terms of the way I conceptualise the client's current problems and EMDR (as needed) results in a faster way of processing trauma. Combining these two therapies provides effective in-depth therapy with relatively brief therapy. If you have been suffering with unresolved psychological trauma, I can help you to overcome the problems that are keeping you from maximising your potential.
Psychoanalysis - bringing the unconscious into the conscious to recover repressed emotions; Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) - aims to reduce symptoms of trauma by changing how memories are stored in your brain; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - talking therapy that can help manage problems by changing the way you think and behave
The most important speciality - the ability to offer a warm, friendly and understanding space where you will be listened to, to recognise and hold your emotions and provide a safe place for your vulnerabilities.
