Therapy Services
Approaches
My techniques are sound, and evidence based. My work is client focused – I ask clients for feedback on the process and what is working. As a trauma therapist I use methods derived from neuroscience, which help us understand how the brain processes information. I work in a holistic way, focusing on thoughts, emotions and sensations.
My methods
include,
but are not limited to, the
following:
Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy (EMDR)
A highly effective, evidence-based psychological treatment, EMDR is recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is also effective in treating stress, panic attacks, depression and the less obvious traumas that we all experience – family conflict, friendship difficulties, and being bullied at school or at work.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
A psychological therapy that addresses unhelpful thinking, feelings and behaviours.
Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT)
Is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change.
Interpersonal Therapy (IP)
Seeks to ease psychological stress by focusing on our relationships and social roles.
Mindfulness & Relaxation Strategies
Schema Therapy Schema
Expands on traditional CBT by exploring childhood and adolescent origins of psychological problems. We form schemas (our way of seeing and understanding the world and interacting with others) in childhood and adolescence. Sometimes our schemas are no longer helpful and we need to work out how to change them. This is a collaborative therapy between client and therapist. See www.schematherapy.orgfor more information.
