My integrative approach draws on EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), and Narrative Therapy.
You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel so difficult. Perhaps you’re carrying the impact of trauma or painful life experiences, struggling in relationships, or questioning parts of your identity. At times it may feel like you’ve lost connection with yourself or the direction of your life. You may want to better understand your patterns, make sense of your experiences, and feel more grounded and self-compassionate. Therapy can offer a space to reflect, process what you’ve been through, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

EMDR, TF-CBT, schema informed
You might be living with PTSD or complex trauma and notice it showing up in ways that feel hard to control - flashbacks, shutting down, staying on edge, or getting pulled into the same patterns in relationships. Often you understand what’s happening, but your reactions still arrive quickly and feel bigger than the moment. Together we can understand why they keep showing up and help you to have more choice, rather than feeling driven by urgency, threat, or shame.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
