Individual Therapy
Find out about Psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing), and EFT (The Emotional Freedom Technique).
Psychotherapy
I offer one to one psychotherapy sessions to both adults .
I am an integrative therapist, this means that my approach is holistic and I will draw on different methods which are based on the individual needs of each client.
My aim is to offer a safe place to talk about essential aspects of your life.
My practice is evidence based, but intuitive and reflective. I have a passion to help others to find their sense of inner peace and emotional wellbeing by engaging in the power of therapy
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) is a specialist type of psychotherapy that works by focusing on triggers and memories from the past that are negatively impacting your wellbeing in the in the present.
EMDR will process and release those aspects of the past that may form as unconscious triggers.
EMDR will harness your natural problem-solving abilities, and in doing so, will enable you to move into your future in a more positive way.
EFT
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a very effective emotional healing technique which is also able to relieve many physical symptoms.
The theory of EFT is that the cause of negative emotions relates to disruption within the body’s energy system. EFT relates to a tapping sequence of the body’s meridian points to balance any dysregulation in this flow of energy.
EFT is a safe and effective way to rebalance your body’s energy system and rebalance your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Personal Growth Training
‘Knowledge is power’ is a common phrase but there is undeniably truth to the ability to feel calmer and safer within ourselves when we understand what something means. This is basically because we understand it more in relation to what it is and what it may mean to our own experiences. Once we understand something we change our perception of it which in turn can support us as we work through the difficulty we are having.

symptoms)

Book Series:
The Fear Monster® Part 1
This book will form part of a series. Working with those who feel fearful means a great deal to me, mainly because I know that what I hold inside me, means that I can help you. My mission will be to introduce to you my Step by step process of working with overwhelming fearful feelings, anxious feelings and panic, in a way in which will give you a lasting sense of confidence to maintain your own wellbeing. I know my Fear Monster process can empower others, as I have lived it myself. My wish is to detail all of the information you need to help you to work effectively with your fearful feelings in a way in which you will get back and keep your quality of life.
I do believe that the time now is exactly right to really introduce you to the Fear Monster and all he stands for. I wish I could have done this sooner as my work has felt incomplete, but you will come to understand why that has not been possible until now.
The Fear Monster is an amazing but complex character who you may have a certain perception of, but you would be very wrong! I hope for you to come to see that he has so many dimensions to him, some of which may feel frightening, but others are going to demonstrate his amazing capacity to help you.
Register your interest to purchase the first book of the three book series. I think that together we are about to embark on a very important journey. Myself and my Fear monster will look forward to welcoming you to our world.
(Once you submit the form- please rest assured I will have received it and I will be in contact with you once the book is available)
