Counselling and Energy Psychotherapy
More Information
When we experience the debilitating effects of anxiety, depression or traumatic events it can be very difficult to seek help. It was my own search for ways out of my emotional pain that led me to seek therapy and I remember how hard it was to take that first step.
In my work I provide genuine acceptance and an opportunity for you to have the space to express what is on your mind without ever being judged. I have the training and very wide range of skills to work with you in the ways that suits you as an individual to find the ways that will help you get peace of mind.
There are times when talking through issues is enough to resolve them but there are also some times when talking by itself is not enough to resolve the effects of distressing or traumatic experiences.
It is now recognised that only a proportion of trauma is held in the mind, most is held in the body. Because of this, after 15 years experience as a therapist I added to my skills by qualifying in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Energy Psychotherapy. Both work on releasing bodily held trauma. Both are relatively new in the therapy world.
These methods are based on sound research evidence. I find that they work powerfully yet very gently, even when addressing major trauma. They are not complicated – even children as young as five can benefit from them. My oldest client to successfully use EFT to address her severe depression was 90 years old.
The beauty of these therapies is that excellent effects can be obtained without having to talk in detail about what happened. Clients often express surprise that they can finish a session that addresses and releases deep issues feeling calm and grounded instead of feeling ‘all over the place’ or ‘an emotional mess’ as they know they would if they had talked in detail about the distressing experiences.
About EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Energy Psychotherapy:
When talking therapies alone are not sufficient its often because patterns of distress are encoded in the body as well as the mind. This is especially true for anyone who has suffered trauma - whether due to single traumatic incidents or through experiencing a pattern of repeated traumatic experiences as a child or as an adult.
EFT and other Energy Psychotherapies provide gentle yet powerful tools for working with painful experiences from the past which are still affecting the way you feel in day to day life.
Clearing the effects of previous distressing/traumatic experiences can lead to a new and more satisfying perspective on life.
