Overcome traumatic experiences in your past and feel free to live life joyfully. I specialise in trauma therapy to help you process and clear frightening, distressing and painful memories. Processing difficult memories is one of the most useful parts of therapy because all unresolved trauma memories leave us with negative beliefs about ourselves which damage our self esteem. I can help with processing remembered memories, pre-verbal ( age 0 - 3 years ) and pre-birth memories. A Safe Place I provide you with a safe space to resolve the experiences that are holding you back in life. I help people recover from post-traumatic stress disorder and survivors of a variety of experiences including: Life-threatening events Childhood abuse Childhood neglect Medical trauma Rape Physical violence Sexual abuse War Displacement Bullying Bereavement and loss

Trauma Therapy and EMDR

Therapy Methods My integrative relationship based therapy style includes the specialist technique of EMDR therapy, as well as: Transactional analysis Gestalt experiments Attachment theory Internal family systems Sensorimotor methods Compassion towards ourselves I am optimistic about personal change if we are able to think about our experiences and our influences and develop a more compassionate feeling towards ourselves. We do best with a therapy which is specifically tailored to our individual needs. I offer an approach that works well for your personality and temperament. Our relationship is important to the therapy process, so I work with you to develop a feeling of trust and confidence. What is EMDR Therapy? Rid yourself of difficult and upsetting memories with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy from Treasured Space. I introduce you to this simple and effective technique to address your past traumatic experiences. Most depression is a result of repeated traumas which can be cleared using this method. We learn to be depressed and we can unlearn this using EMDR. Self-Healing Regain control of your peace and happiness thanks to this PTSD treatment. My knowledge of this method means that together we access your whole memory system and integrate traumatic memories into your normal memory bank. Recall difficult memories and their associated thoughts, emotions, and body sensations while remaining in a safe environment. Both sides of your brain are fully involved during the EMDR process using bilateral stimulation through eye movements, tapping, or the use of buzzers in your hands. This method is recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) as an effective treatment for PTSD.
