My approach

Searching for the right therapist can feel confusing and overwhelming. It’s important to feel understood and accepted in the therapeutic relationship, and to feel safe to explore painful experiences.

I offer a relationship in which you can feel deeply understood. I can help you gain insights into the meanings of your experiences, support you to come to terms with what’s happened to you, and identify ways of moving forward.

I can help you build your confidence as you explore new ways of behaving and relating to others.

I offer short-term and long-term therapy for adults age 18 and above. I work within the person-centred tradition, and integrate EMDR therapy into my practice.

Person-centred approach

I aim to provide an environment in which you can feel deeply accepted as you are. This can help you to experience and accept more of who you are as a person, and reconnect with your own values and sense of self-worth.

EMDR

Sometimes, old, disturbing memories can be stored in the brain in isolation – they get locked in the nervous system with the original images, sounds, thoughts and feelings. This old, distressing material gets stuck, and keeps getting triggered over and over, preventing healing taking place.

In another part of the brain, you already have most of the information you need to resolve the problem – the two just do not connect. With EMDR, linking starts to take place. New information can come to mind to resolve the old problems.

This may be what happens in REM (rapid eye movement) or dream sleep, when eye movements help to process unconscious material.

EMDR can also help you to reassess old negative beliefs and find new realistic beliefs that support you in the present.
