I am also trained in EMDR, which is effective in treating trauma- see my website hartsencounselling.
Do you value relationships and feel you would like to be more confident in yourself? Our challenges can be our greatest teachers but they may feel overwhelming when we try to face them alone, especially if we have suffered through trauma. If you have emotional injuries in need of healing or a relationship you wish to bring closer, by exploring these issues we may uncover hidden resources and new possibilities. We may work through unconscious beliefs or hidden traumas along the way. By supporting ourselves in new ways, we can free ourselves from old fears and become more of who we truly are.

I am also EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained, a technique that is quickly becoming the gold-standard therapy for working with trauma.
Sometimes life is hard and we don't know how to manage our current challenges. It's important to realize that you're not alone and support IS out there. Whether you're finally ready to face past traumas, dealing with depression and anxiety, crippled by grief, lacking self-worth, or struggling with addictions, there can be an end to your suffering. That end includes remaking your life, your relationships, and sometimes your very identity. Though it may not feel like it now, you are on an exciting journey! With a little guidance, you can make it through.

I utilize EMDR Therapy as it is very powerful in managing feelings of shame, guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness and helplessness.
The adolescent years into early adulthood are full of changes and challenges that can be hard to navigate and often feel confusing. Dynamics can shift within families, friendship groups, and within us. These are the years where you begin to reshape and solidify your identity and values, and this can feel both exciting and overwhelming. I offer an objective point of view that encourages clients to consider different perspectives which helps them learn to become more self-aware, compassionate towards others and themselves and more resilient.

I am trained and experienced in EFT, one of the highest rated forms of couples therapy, as well as in EMDR, a treatment for trauma and PTSD.
Do you and your partner get stuck in repetitive arguments, where neither one of you feels heard or understood? You both end up frustrated and hurt, but you still love each other. Are you struggling to keep your marriage together after an infidelity or some other betrayal? There may be nothing obviously wrong in your marriage, but you feel lonely and disconnected. Are you troubled by traumatic memories of assault or childhood abuse? Are you still grieving long after the loss of a loved one?

Have you ever wondered: How much of my problem is me generated and how much is other people or circumstances? You know you are responsible for making changes in your life and yet things happen that make that change seemingly impossible. How can I change my private self and how I relate outwardly? Can I move from victim to survivor, from bully to challenger from rescuer to supporter even when the world and those around me don't cooperate? It's a question worth exploring. Spoiler Alert! It's very possible!

My approach draws from somatic attachment, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology and eye-movement desensitization reprocessing ( EMDR).
Our past experiences impact us in ways we may not even realize. Our nervous system jumps in to protect us in ways that it has helped us survive in the past. This often prevents us from operating how we wish to. Working to reconnect the body with the mind to our present, adult self can help resolve this disconnection. I believe that we all deserve to experience connection, empathy, attunement and safety and that this is often the missing piece.

How long will this last? Am I doomed to feel like this forever? It’s possible that you may be asking these questions. You might also be feeling alone - like no one else truly understands what you’re going through. Your worries play over and over in your head like a broken record, and you can't seem to just enjoy life and be yourself. Maybe you even feel like you’re broken.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
