About Me

EMDR therapy surrey, trauma counselling surrey, PTSD Therapist, therapist near me

Approach

I'm a trauma therapist trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Therapy. Together, we can come up with a plan to achieve your goals and work through your deepest issues, whether that be PTSD, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, or depression.

Trauma-Focused Treatment

We'll get to the root of your emotional wounds, allowing you to heal, and understand yourself better in the process. In our sessions, we'll use trauma processing therapies that are proven to be effective and bring in somatic interventions to help you feel more grounded in your body.
