Counselling can help you to process the experience and the emotions that left their mark. In the process, you can find what works for you and hopefully a new meaning.

Types of Therapies
Person Centred Therapy
In this approach you are the expert in your life. I will make very precise and short interventions using counselling techniques to help you reflect on or connect with your emotions when necessary. I will not offer you answers, solutions, try to fix you, or rescue you from a situation. Instead, you will have a supportive, non-judgmental environment based on empathy, authenticity, congruence, and unconditional positive regard to talk about what you are experiencing. I will encourage you to understand the situation from your own perspective, which will help you develop a deeper capacity for self-reflection and self-acceptance.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a unique and innovative therapeutic approach that sets itself apart from traditional methods, where it is not only about talking, but processing the memory in a different way.
If you have experienced a traumatic event, EMDR will help your brain in processing traumatic memories and events, ultimately diminishing their emotional and physical effects by unlocking your nervous system and enabling the effective process of the traumatic experience(s).
We can work with eye movement, tapping with the hands, with combined movements, or by using online tools designed specifically for bilateral stimulation.
Counselling for Children and Young People from age 11+
In the sessions, many young clients are still developing their communication skills. To meet their unique needs, I incorporate creative strategies such as using cards, whiteboards, drawings, and dolls. These engaging tools help to young people to express their experiences, needs, and emotions in a relaxed and supportive environment.
