Counselling Services

Your path to healing and growth starts here.

I offer tailored care to guide you through life’s challenges, fostering healing and growth in a nurturing and compassionate space.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a focused therapy technique designed to access and release deep-seated emotional pain and trauma. By identifying specific points in the visual field linked to stored memories, this approach taps into the brain’s natural ability to heal, facilitating profound emotional and psychological relief.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. By using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR enables the brain to reframe distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and fostering resilience.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet transformative practice that helps you overcome barriers, break unhelpful patterns, and achieve personal growth. Through guided relaxation and focused attention, hypnotherapy can address issues such as stress, anxiety, phobias, or unwanted habits, empowering you to make positive changes in your life. With a safe and supportive approach, hypnotherapy allows you to explore your inner world, discover solutions, and move toward greater confidence and well-being.

Social Work

Social work focuses on enhancing well-being by helping individuals, families, and communities navigate life’s challenges. Drawing on professional training and a compassionate approach, social workers address issues like relationship conflicts, trauma, mental health concerns, and social inequalities, providing tools and guidance for lasting change.
