The Holistic Wellbeing Sanctuary is a mind, body and spirit focused healing. The model is used to treat the person as a whole rather than the symptoms they are experiencing. I implement trauma interventions from childhood or adulthood and use holistic therapy to heal the client. One of the therapies includes EMDR therapy which has a very successful rate in helping people recover from PTSD, anxiety and depression to name a few. All interventions can be found on the website. Other therapies I have experience in are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Hi there, I'm Chris. Have you or a loved one been struggling to cope with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or low? Maybe social situations are difficult to face, or work and studies are harder to manage? Perhaps you've been experiencing really difficult unwanted and intrusive thoughts, or feeling driven to repeat certain actions. Doing the things that you used to be able to do maybe just feels too heavy. If you're a loved one, maybe you've noticed your young person change from how they used to be. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges.

In therapy, I hope to offer a space that feels compassionate, empowering, and reflective. I don't pathologise your responses to difficult experiences. Instead, I work collaboratively to understand how the experiences you have had might have impacted your mental health. We will work together to get you to a place that feels more hopeful.

Sometimes life can feel very challenging and overwhelming for us all, it’s not unusual for us to feel stuck and need some form of support or connection at these times. I believe that being able to be our true selves and to feel safe is really important in therapy, so I work hard to provide a trusting and non-judgmental therapy relationship. This includes us spending some time really making sense of what’s going on, things that have happened in our past and how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact to keep us ‘stuck’. We then work together to find new ways of coping or changing some of these things that are no longer helpful.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Counsellors

Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?

Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.

Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?

Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.

How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?

While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.

What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?

The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
