Overcome anxiety, worry, panic, nightmares, flashbacks, depression, PTSD, stresses etc. EMDR therapy is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and has been found to help treat the affects of difficult life events. It can reduce fears, calm intense emotions and bring about peace of mind.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I help people get to the root of, and free themselves from their anxiety, fears and depression, not to just manage the symptoms. Many people think that they are doomed to a life of fear and anxiety saying things like ‘‘this is just the way I am’’, like it is some form of affliction that they have to endure. Research has shown that a lot of our anxieties and fears have their roots from childhood experiences in our unconscious mind. This is why we don’t understand why we can at times be at the mercy of irrational thoughts and fears that can cause a lot of inner turmoil and distress not only to ourselves but to those around us.

Many people may be unaware that they could be holding unresolved trauma/s, an event that the brain was unable to process at the time, and is stuck in their nervous system. These memories may be triggered unconsciously and cause distress leading to symptoms like fear, upsetting emotions and memories that won’t go away. Some people may also feel numb and unable to trust or have difficulty in connecting with others. This can cause many of the unpleasant symptoms of anxiety; feelings of fear, sadness or anger, feeling on edge or having emotional outbursts. You may push people away and yet feel alone. Physically you may feel tired, have unexplained aches or pains and have little or no energy, as well as difficulty sleeping. You may find it hard to concentrate and have little interest in life.

I can work with you to uncover and heal unresolved issues or traumatic events still affecting your life today. I can also help you to release and clear the underlying negative beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck as a result of these life experiences, such as:

• Traumatic childhood experiences, abuse, bullying, lost
childhood innocence
• Anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and trauma
• Adult children of alcoholics/addicts/abusive parents
• Bereavement, loss, significant relationship break-up
• Negative thinking loops and self-criticism, like telling yourself
that you are not good enough, having low self-esteem and
lack of self-belief
• Life changing health issues as well as pain and chronic
physical conditions/illness
• Fears and Phobias
• Working on self-confidence and connecting with your innate
courage and wisdom to heal, grow and facilitate change going
forward.

Please feel free to contact me, I will be happy to talk with you about how I can help you.

EMDR THERAPY

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. It enables healing from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life events.

If you think events from your life are still having an impact on you today and you are having difficulty with recovery and moving on, then EMDR can help you to process and heal these experiences and the unresolved emotions such as fear, anxiety and worry.

Often people think that there is something wrong with them when in fact their symptoms could be the result of something that happened that was outside of their control and they were left feeling powerless and overwhelmed. Even though it was not their fault, people are often left blaming themselves and feeling self-doubt, rejection, guilt and shame.

EMDR can help with:

• Anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and trauma
• Traumatic childhood experiences, abuse, bullying, lost childhood innocence
• Adult children of alcoholics/addicts/abusive parents
• Bereavement, loss, significant relationship break-up
• Life changing health issues
• Patterns of behaviour that sabotage your relationships
• Negative thinking loops and self-criticism, like telling yourself that you
are not good enough, having low self-esteem and lack of self-belief
• Self-development, gaining insight and connecting with your innate
courage and wisdom to heal, grow and facilitate change going forward.
• Fears and Phobias
• Pain and chronic physical conditions/illness

REFLEX-PSYCHOTHERAPY

Reflex-Psychotherapy is a new innovative therapy which I have created that incorporates counselling with reflexology. Reflex-Psychotherapy may benefit you if you have difficulty getting in touch with your emotions or accessing how you feel. It is a gentle process of listening to your feelings and giving them a voice.

As you hear and accept the messages from your inner self you will gain access to your inner wisdom. You will also have the benefit of reflexology to balance and revitalize you by releasing tension and bringing a greater sense of ease. This is a wonderful holistic way of working with a body-oriented focus to bring about self-awareness and emotional healing.

There is now a greater understanding of the body-mind connection and how we store our emotions in our body. Sometimes talking about our issues is not enough to get to the core of something, and getting in touch with our felt senses can bring us back into our bodies. When we sense inside ourselves we connect to ourselves on a deep level and gain clarity on what we feel or want in our lives. We get in touch with our feelings and what is real for us while also obtaining new insights about our current life situations.

Feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more, I am happy to talk with you, Mary.

Many situations or life events can bring us to a crossroads in life. It may be a relationship difficulty or breakdown, stress and anxiety, chronic pain or illness, dealing with feelings of grief, anger or fear. It could be a change in career or direction in life. It is different for everyone and talking to someone in a safe and supportive environment can help release some of the built up tension and stress that change can sometimes bring. Change can be difficult and it takes courage to make the changes we want to make. Counselling can be a way to figure out what we want to do and gives us support through this. It can help by learning to cope with and understand the feelings that life changes bring. When a person is able to adapt to and process change whether 'good' or 'bad' they increase their ability to take charge of their own lives and find meaning in their experience.

If you think I can help you feel free to get in touch, I will be happy to chat with you.
Warmest Regards,
Mary

Many people feel lost and unsure of themselves. They may feel that they don't fit in, lack confidence in their abilities and feel like they are not good enough. Everybody has self doubts from time to time, but if these doubts and self judgments are continual and causing fear and anxiety, it is possible that unconscious self-limiting thoughts and beliefs are creating emotional patterns that may not be helpful for their happiness and well being. Counselling and psychotherapy can help to uncover these unhelpful emotional patterns and beliefs and aid in healing old woulds and emotional pain. At times this can be a painful process but the rewards are an empowered sense of self, and the freedom to experience life with more ease and happiness. For any further information or to make an appointment, you can contact me in confidence at 0876351634.
