Hi, I’m Dr Nadia Balmain. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and an accredited EMDR Practitioner. I have provided psychotherapy for over ten years both in the NHS and in private practice. I offer therapy for many different problems, but I have a special interest in providing therapy for PTSD, complex Trauma, Anxiety and Depression. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is the gold standard treatment for PTSD and is recommended by NICE guidelines. EMDR helps clients to process traumatic and distressing experiences which are causing the present-day symptoms.
These symptoms could be flashbacks, disturbed sleep, anxiety, panic attacks and low mood amongst other symptoms. EMDR also has robust evidence as a treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. The research has identified that anxiety is often caused by distressing or sometimes overwhelming experiences that have impacted and set in motion anxiety symptoms.
Processing these experiences can treat the cause of these symptoms. It can be helpful to talk to someone outside of your family, friendship group or work. I believe it is important to provide a space where people feel accepted and understood. If you are interested in sessions with myself then get in contact today and we can have a chat.
Call or Dr Nadia Balmain now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01244 735026
