Addiction, eating disorder, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, phobia, and insomnia etc. are most often symptoms, but not the root of the problem. Very often, through childhood and adulthood, many traumatic experiences (such as bullying and abuse) left us with psychological injuries. And we use various above-listed symptoms to deal with experiences that made us feel sad or scared, even for short-term. The real healing/solution is, therefore, to clean the injuries, and develop new coping skills. This approach also applies to unexpected traumatic life experiences, such as accidents, natural disasters, illness, and grief.
I am a Certified EMDR therapist, also a Certified PC (Progressive Counting) therapist, trained in DBT, CBT-Insomnia, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Grief Counselling. There is not a therapy that suits all clients. Therefore, I integrates therapies and tailor for each client, depending your goals, life experiences, and challenges.
I believe the power that all people have in themselves. If behavioral and mental symptoms are dragons, the therapy I will tailor for you is designed to assist you to slay all the dragons in life. I provide 15 minutes free consultation (or by email) before the first meeting. You will also find some most frequently asked questions and answers on my website.
