Having trained in various modalities over my 12 years in practice, I work using an integrative approach, catering to your unique therapeutic needs. My ideology is based on Humanistic theory; offering you a safe, empathic environment where we can experience relational depth in therapy, therefore creating the ideal circumstances for you to access your inner resources to heal.
Additionally, my approach is trauma-informed. I am a certified provider of tension, trauma and stress releasing exercises (TRE), a technique that releases deeply embedded muscular patterns of tension, calming down the nervous system and encouraging the body to return to a state of balance. I also work as a fully trained Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist; an innovative psychotherapy that uses bilateral stimulation to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. I have recently trained in Internal Family Systems (Level 1); a therapeutic approach that views the mind as made up of multiple inner parts, each with distinct roles, led by an undamaged core Self, capable of healing. By connecting with this Self, individuals can understand and heal their wounded and protective parts, fostering internal harmony and personal growth.
My interventions have been used to aid in the management of post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, complicated grief, anger, pain relief and relationship concerns among other presenting concerns.
