Hello and welcome, I work as a registered Psychologist who specialises in trauma. I work with individuals of adult age. I have expertise in a broad range of issues which are usually a product of trauma they include, addiction, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/self-worth, stress, relationship difficulties, personality disorders. I adopt a person-centred approach using a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches which include Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), RI-EMDR, Ego States, Circle of Security, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Gottman Couple Therapy (90mins)
You may have heard about how EMDR is the movement of fingers to process unwanted memories, it is actually more than that. It is the only intervention that does not cause retraumatisation when recounting memories. EMDR allows processing at your own speed in order to change negative core beliefs which can be detrimental to your mental health.
It is really challenging sometimes to find the right fit when looking for a professional in the mental health space. Listening , understanding, validation and feedback are key components to a solid therapeutic relationship. Without them therapy is not as effective as it can be. This is why building a therapeutic relationship is a top priority.
