My practice: I can offer Person Centered Therapy, Integrative Therapies, Systemic Therapy, EMDR and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
Hello! My name is Carmen and I am working as a private practitioner. I worked before in schools, drug and alcohol rehab and occupational health (EAP and assessments). I'll work with you in a way that will enable you to discover yourself, maybe the difficulty which probably causes you distress, increase your motivation and hopefully change your life in better. We can talk about what it is happening now but also we can address aspects from your past which are just on 'pause' at the minute but they 'creep' out whenever they want. Usually my sessions are based on your needs, purpose and action.

I draw mainly on EMDR, 3rd wave CBT and narrative approaches that involve building self-compassion, living with values and meaning, and being fully present.
My specialist area is helping people to improve their quality of life when challenged by physical illness. For example, helping people to problem-solve and prioritise meaningful and valued activities that have been interrupted by symptoms such as pain, fatigue, reduced mobility, changed appearance or social stigma. Therapy goals may include reducing feelings of shame and hopelessness, communicating assertively with others, adapting to new circumstances, finding new life goals, and processing trauma. I have particular experience in helping people with chronic pain and people with HIV. I also work with common mental health problems.

My approach is personalised, using techniques like EMDR to help manage emotional struggles and find relief.
Feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to move forward? It’s frustrating when you’ve tried all the mental health advice, yet nothing seems to help. Maybe you’ve been feeling more anxious or down lately. Perhaps you’ve lost someone close, leaving you with overwhelming grief. Or you’ve experienced something upsetting that keeps you up at night, no matter how hard you try to move on. If these challenges are affecting your self-esteem, know you’re not alone. And even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, there is hope.

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.
