THE WOUNDS THAT NEVER SHOW
Trauma
TRAUMA
People think if it's not big it's not trauma. If it distresses you and interferes with your wellbeing, there is a possibility of trauma.

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
Trauma results from an emotional reaction to a disturbing event i.e natural disaster, accident or attack on a persons self.
Crisis is any changes in the human or their environment which causes instability. Being in crisis for long periods of time may result in the body and mind experiencing the crisis as trauma.
It is important to see trauma and crisis as a mind body affliction and to make space for the healing of both within the therapeutic process. I use EMI (Eye Movement Integration Therapy) when working within these settings as it is a highly effective short term model.

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.
