Having trained in various modalities over my 11 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.
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.
