I work with you to understand your unique challenges and therapy needs, to develop a tailored treatment plan and help you achieve your therapy goals. I bring experience and a high level of clinical skills in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:

• EMDR
• Schema Therapy
• Ego State Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

I integrate these therapeutic approaches within the framework of EMDR to address your individual needs and circumstances, supporting you in processing past trauma and difficult experiences. My aim is to help you build a strong sense of self and enhance your sense of confidence and esteem.

As a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), I adhere to their recommended phased treatment approach, which includes:

1. Establishing safety, stabilisation, and symptom reduction
2. Addressing traumatic memories
3. Developing a more coherent, collaborative, and continuous sense of self

Whilst structured this approach is also highly flexible and adaptable. Phases are revisited as needed during the treatment process, and therapy is tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
EMDR is adapted and modified to ensure a safe and gradual trauma processing at a pace that is attuned to your readiness and capacity and foster a sense of empowerment and a sustainable therapeutic progress.

I work with individuals aged 17 and older. Having been formally trained in family therapy I recognise that young adolescents benefit most from a systemic approach rather than individual work, and therefore let specialised family therapists/psychologists work with the younger adolescents.
