Addiction
ADDICTION
Addiction is a symptom of an unhealthy relationship that you have with yourself. The truth is the substance is not the problem you are. If you think there is no choice left but to use - I can help you find your way back. You only need to want to try.
Chemical Addictions - drugs and alcohol. Process Addictions - eating, gambling, sex, exercise and other compulsive, uncontrollable behaviours.

HOLISTIC COUNSELLING
Holistic Counselling is a highly personalised approach that helps you, help yourself when you feel the need for support or assistance.
The difference between Counselling and Holistic Counselling: Rather than treating just the symptoms, a holistic counsellor looks deeper and tries to uncover underlying causes.

HOW I WORK
To find sobriety, the addict needs to reconnect and heal themselves. This is achieved through exploring the depletions in their psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and social wellbeing. Addiction is a coping mechanism, grounded in these depletions, growing out of the necessity to survive, and becoming the conduct that destroys that survival.
As long as the person is acting out addictively there is no chance of personal healing and sobriety. This journey begins with making cognitive and behavioral changes. Little by little the person replaces the unhelpful addictive thinking with helpful actions. This, in turn, promotes helpful thinking and thus helpful actions, and in this way little by little the addiction is replaced with sobriety.
All the person needs is the willingness to want to make the change and to remember that they cannot do it alone.

WHAT IS EMI?
EMI (Eye Movement Integration Therapy) is a short term therapeutic intervention. Clients may experience a shift within two to three sessions. Seen as a neuro-therapeutic modality, combined with psychotherapy, it is a therapeutic tool to help the brain change traumatic memory networks and heal itself.
Research has shown that our eye movements are connected to our memory networks. Through guided eye movements, we can also access these memory networks and reprocess them. Through the eyes, we thus have a perfect entrance to the brain and old trauma memory networks.
