We aim to support individuals in feeling better and navigating through life's difficulties. If you're considering seeking help to enhance your well-being, don't hesitate to contact us for guidance.

My Therapeutic Approach:

• Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT):
• Goal: Help clients learn coping skills for trauma-related issues.
• Techniques: Physical soothing, grounding, mindfulness, stimulus discrimination, and sleep improvement. Acupressure point to help reboot the nervous system.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):
• Goal: Assist clients in processing and resolving trauma and related concerns. Often used for specific events and PTSD.
• Focus: Integration of traumatic experiences for safe and positive progression in life.
• Attachment Informed EMDR (AI-EMDR):
• Goal: Healing from interpersonal and developmental traumas through repairing attachment stories.
• Focus: recovering from interpersonal injury, such as abuse, neglect, judgement, blame, shame, guilt, abandonment and enmeshment. Reparenting your younger self can lead to significant gains in self-love, self-compassion and self-esteem.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS):
• Goal: Understanding self as a system of different parts that work together.
• Core Concept: Developing compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calm, confidence, courage, and connectedness.
• Approach: Reducing inner conflicts, understanding fears, and healing wounded parts for an integrated sense of self.

Combining Therapies for Enhanced Healing:

Many individuals find success with CBT, but for those with conditions such as ASD, ADHD, and those with histories of complex trauma, CBT may not work. Even using TF-CBT and standard EMDR, there can be cases where effectiveness is limited. By integrating IFS with EMDR, we delve deeper into understanding internal conflicts and overcoming inner blockages to foster healing and build a healthier self-concept for a brighter future.
