Sometimes we need a non-bias“outside” perspective to hear our own voices. As an integrative therapist I utilize approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered, Solution focused, mindfulness etc. depending on the needs and requests of each individual. Pulling apart what may often feel like a tangled ball of wool in ones head in order to recognise, prioritize and cope with the sometimes over whelming thoughts, feeling and behaviors that present. Providing a secure, non-judgmental, confidential environment in which you can safely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at a rate that is comfortable to you

Pre-accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist, MBACP. It is ok not to feel ok. When we have experienced trauma or difficulties in our lives, we may feel a low sense of worth, lack of belief in ourselves, or struggle in relationships with others. We may feel a lack of motivation, stress, anxiety or depression and find it difficult to cope. The pandemic is a current period of great difficulty which may also lead to such feelings. The therapeutic relationship can support us to heal trauma, losses or painful experiences we have been through, as well as to understand ourselves better.

Therapy is a unique journey where we walk side by side to discover a better way of living. As a therapist my focus is to create a safe space, where you can be yourself and speak without consequence, where your feelings can be shared without judgement. Everyone is an unique person with their own experiences, but each of us deserves a chance to explore them and to become the best version of ourselves. The relationship we build is different than those we have in everyday life, where you can express yourself freely, without filtering your thoughts and feelings. We all deserve to be seen and heard.

Sometimes you might find yourself being really sensitive and feeling overwhelmed with emotions that are coming out of nowhere, often flying off the handle, or being tearful and upset. You might not be feeling yourself, like you are carrying a huge weight and you don’t know what it is or why. It might be that you feel really tense, and ‘on-edge’ and it’s difficult to relax. It can also be that you feel totally shut-off from others, detached and disconnected, feeling empty and numb. Life has lost its colour. Others constantly feel guilty, find it really hard to say no to others, and live in a constant state of never being good enough.

We think too much. But worrying and anxiety don't HELP. Instead, it keeps the pain of the past very much in the present. So what does help? Neuroscience shows that even though we are wired to be aware of potential danger, continually focusing on anxious feelings and prolonged low mood maintains those feelings. So, how do you WANT to feel instead? A free 15-20 minute no-obligation consultation will show you how you can regain control over how you want to feel, so you are not controlled by your feelings.

I help clients who are struggling with a problem which they know is possibly holding them back from being the person they believe they can be. Maybe you are someone who has tried with some success to deal with your own issues but have reached the threshold of your own ability and now need someone you can trust to get alongside to to complete your journey. You are not sure if you are able to trust anyone as you have always been independent and looking for professional help is not something you do easily. So maybe is time to try working with that professional someone who will listen non-judgmentally to get you over that last hurdle.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counsellors

How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?

Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioural therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behaviour therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?

Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.

Are there specific medications for dissociation?

There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom which may include antipsychotics, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety drugs.

How often and how long are therapy sessions?

Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
