Have you tried loads of talking therapies and now you are seeking a different approach? EMDR is a highly flexible and effective trauma-informed therapy, that we can carefully adapt to suit you. I work with people struggling with complex trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, as well as life transitions such as end-of-life. I walk alongside with you as a dedicated companion, deeply listening to what you are seeking and discovering together with you, how we can create a realistic healing pathway forward. With many mind/body/spirit therapeutic options to choose from, we will work on what most aligns with where you're at.
I will compassionately support you to find meaning and clarity, accessing different approaches that you feel ready for such as; EMDR or the the Arts in their diverse forms. I also draw on Polyvagal Theory, Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST), Mindfulness Therapies and offer a heart centred, non-judgemental and safe atmosphere as a healing space.
I support adults & young people and offer you a free chat, to see if my approaches may be the most helpful ones for your needs. I offer online sessions if distance is an issue. If you're curious to know more, reach out and ask any questions. I can also link you to other professionals, if I am not the right fit for you. I am NDIS Registered for Art Therapy.
