As human beings we usually find comfort in sharing our stories with others. However, sometimes we need someone objective, with specialised psychological knowledge, who is not a family member or a friend, to listen and "hear our story", so we can get a better idea of our options or gain more clarity on our thoughts and feelings.

Therapy could be a great tool to improve our sense of well-being and move from surviving to thriving. People seek therapy for many different reasons, for example: anxiety, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, family issues, work related stress, bereavement, social anxiety, PTSD, feeling sad, loneliness, panic attacks etc.

You don't need to be in a crisis to seek counselling. You may already be managing fairly well in some areas of your life but maybe need support with an area or situation that you feel stuck in and find difficult to change on your own.

EMDR - a unique and powerful therapy.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful type of psychotherapy, recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It helps to recover from past traumatic experiences and is often recommended for PTSD 

EMDR therapy uses a combination of eye movements, sounds, or taps, to help the brain process and make sense of these memories. This can help to bring the memory to the surface, where it can be processed and understood in a new way.

EMDR therapy is typically considered a short-term treatment, with most people seeing improvement in their symptoms (intrusive memories, flashbacks, panic attacks, nightmares)  after only a few sessions. It is important to note that EMDR therapy is not suitable for everyone, and it should be done under the guidance of a trained therapist.
