Connecting with nature has immediate beneficial effects on the nervous system and mood.
Not only that, it can remind us of positive childhood memories of the natural world, where we were free, explored and played.
EMDR can help enhance these memories, clearing out negative or traumatic experiences that have been unprocessed, and leaving space for pleasant memories to come to the fore.

I'm talking from experience - it's a difficult present when memories of the past are distressing and sadly it us often the difficult experiences that our memory fixates upon.
My own therapy journey included EMDR, which has allowed pleasant memories to surface, ones that were forgotten or shrouded in darker associations.These memories often come by surprise, yet often when I'm connected to nature.
At these times, I connect more positively with my younger self, remembering long walks through cornfields, collecting tadpoles and climbing trees.

I recently found myself wanting to create, using natural resources and it was only when I came to do this that I recalled making fairy gardens, decorating Easter bonnets and making 'perfume' from flower petals as a child.

Positive associations are now making their way to my conscious mind and it feels good.

I realised that when you're looking for the right therapist for you, to invest your time and money in a process that will hopefully improve your life, you need some assurances, so I asked for feedback, and was overwhelmed by the responses......

My experience of therapy with Anna was very powerful and growthful for me. Anna is a very warm, attuned, sensitive and caring therapist. She brings a lot of experience and skill to the therapy relationship. I talked about things I never expected to feel able to. I felt held in mind by Anna and appreciated the gentle challenging. I had both psychodynamic therapy and EMDR. Having Anna suggest EMDR at a later stage worked really well as we had an existing relationship and I could see how I was getting stuck and the EMDR was very powerful for me. I highly recommend Anna as a very experienced and skilled therapist who can offer a really safe and contained therapeutic relationship through which you can explore and process, and find yourself again.

The first thing I think of when linking back to these sessions is that I always felt SO heard. For as long as I can remember I have felt unheard, like people weren’t really aware or I didn’t really let on what I was really going through. My time with you each week was progressive. You’d hear what I would say, you’d remind me of things that you’d heard and you’d help me to make sense of those things. I found myself feeling positively overwhelmed with how much you understood me and this lead to me being able to make lots of positive changes within my life and start to think about what I needed, putting myself first. I had rapid amounts of growth throughout the year and although that work was down to me, you had a huge positive impact on my life assisting me in that, and for that I cannot thank you enough.”
