Services
Trauma therapy
Specialised trauma therapy addresses complex psychological injuries from abuse, accidents, or life events. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, this service helps clients process traumatic memories safely while developing coping strategies. Sessions focus on restoring emotional stability and rebuilding self-trust for improved daily functioning.
EMDR treatment
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy effectively treats trauma and anxiety disorders through structured protocols. This 90-minute session format combines bilateral stimulation with cognitive restructuring to reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact while enhancing personal resilience and self-awareness.
Counselling
Integrative counselling combines psychodynamic and cognitive approaches to address depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Sessions focus on developing self-awareness through collaborative exploration of current challenges and past experiences, while maintaining strict confidentiality within ethical practice guidelines.
Psychotherapy
Long-term psychotherapy addresses deep-seated emotional patterns and attachment issues through consistent therapeutic relationships. This service integrates mindfulness techniques with psychodynamic principles to improve emotional regulation, enhance interpersonal relationships, and promote sustainable personal growth through regular, structured sessions.
Attachment therapy
Attachment-focused therapy examines early relationship patterns affecting current emotional wellbeing. Using relational developmental approaches, this service helps clients understand and modify insecure attachment styles through compassionate exploration of formative experiences and their ongoing psychological impact.
