EMDR

EMDR therapy is an effective and evidence-based approach to treat trauma. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and it has been shown to be successful in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other conditions. During EMDR sessions, patients can reprocess past events that were too overwhelming to process at the time. The therapist guides the client to focus on distressing memories while providing bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements). This therapy can help rewire the brain and regulate thoughts and feelings that have been negatively affected by trauma. My patients have reported significant relief from negative emotions and thoughts, reduced anxiety, and increased self-esteem.

NARM

NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) therapy is a cutting-edge approach to healing trauma that emphasizes the importance of working collaboratively with the client’s nervous system. The theory posits that the root causes of trauma stem from relational and developmental issues and that trauma can be addressed through the mind-body connection. By actively engaging the client's nervous system, NARM therapy works towards resolving the underlying causes of trauma rather than just the symptoms. NARM is a process-oriented apporach rooted in mindfulness. Informed by NARM, my sessions will be designed to help you restore balance and authentic connection to yourself, build inner resilience, and feel safe in your own body again.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a proven approach designed to help individuals dealing with trauma. TF-CBT involves identifying negative thoughts and feelings associated with past trauma and equipping you with the skills to manage them. This intervention can improve your mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve daily functioning. TF-CBT, is applicable to clients of all ages, adults, and children alike. The approach is individualized, evidence-based and focused on helping you heal.

DBT

DBT therapy is a type of psychotherapy designed to help individuals who struggle with intense emotions and difficulties managing them. It is particularly beneficial for people with borderline personality disorder, but it can also help those with traumatic backgrounds, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. DBT is driven by your personal life worth living goals and aims to help you achieve those. We will then aim to create a collaborative, safe, and honest space where healing can happen through teaching skills and making plans personalised to you.
