Services
Counselling
Counselling at Lou Kemp provides a supportive environment for individuals to explore emotional challenges and life difficulties. Tailored to each client's needs, sessions focus on fostering self-awareness, addressing trauma, and developing coping strategies. The practice combines Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to create a client-led, empathetic therapeutic journey.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy sessions address long-term psychological issues through evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Inner Child work. Designed for clients seeking deeper emotional healing, this service helps resolve patterns linked to past trauma, anxiety, or depression, promoting lasting personal growth and resilience.
EMI Neurotherapy
EMI (Eye Movement Integration) is a neurotherapy that reduces distressing PTSD symptoms by processing traumatic memories. This technique helps clients reframe negative experiences, alleviate phobias, and regain emotional control. Many report significant relief from anxiety and intrusive thoughts after integrating EMI into their therapy.
EFT Tapping
EFT (Emotion Freedom Techniques), or Tapping, combines acupressure and verbal affirmations to release emotional blockages. This accessible method helps manage stress, anxiety, and negative thought patterns. Clients learn self-help techniques to maintain emotional balance between sessions, enhancing overall well-being.
Workplace Supervision
Workplace supervision offers professionals a structured space to reflect on their practice, manage stress, and enhance decision-making. This service supports those in high-pressure roles by providing ethical guidance, reducing burnout risks, and fostering professional growth through a supportive, confidential dialogue.
