Find answers to common questions about our services, counselling process, appointments, and online consultations.
Here are some of the questions people commonly ask before booking a counselling session.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based counselling for trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and other emotional concerns.
Services include trauma counselling, EMDR therapy, anxiety and stress management, depression support, grief and loss counselling, self-esteem and personal growth, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Each treatment plan is personalized to your needs and goals.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people process distressing experiences. It uses guided bilateral stimulation while recalling difficult memories, helping the brain reprocess them in a healthier way.
EMDR is commonly used for PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, medical trauma, grief, phobias, and other distressing life experiences. We can discuss whether it may suit your needs during an initial consultation.
Trauma counselling offers a safe, supportive space to heal from overwhelming experiences. Trauma can follow a single event or ongoing experiences such as childhood neglect, abuse, accidents, violence, or significant loss.
Together, we can understand the impact of trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, build coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and restore a sense of safety and confidence. Sessions move at your pace; you are never pressured to discuss anything before you are ready.
