We work beyond traditional talk therapy and may incorporate:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing  (EMDR) 
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Aspects of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
• Somatic Therapy, grounding practices and body-based approaches
• Nervous system regulation
• Mindfulness 

All care is tailored to you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy that helps the brain process distressing experiences more effectively. It’s guided by standards set by EMDRIA. EMDRIA is the governing  body for EMDR therapists. For more information on EMDR qualifications visit https://www.emdria.org/

Not always. EMDR isn’t a fit for every person or situation. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively, and you always have control over the pace and direction of your care.
