Is online therapy an option?

Most definitely. All we need is a good signal and somewhere comfortable and quiet to sit. Nowadays this is one of the most popular forms, and this is my form of therapy which takes away the issue of travelling and transport.

How many sessions would I need?

With EMDR, eight phases of treatment are followed. It is a structured form of therapy that is not expected to be long-term, but this depends on each individual and the depth of concerns.

Person-centred counselling is a very open form of therapy, and its depth and time scale are very individual. We could talk about needs and expectations at the start

Sessions are often weekly.

What actually happens during therapy?

EMDR therapy

PERSON-CENTRED counselling/therapy will be an area to focus on talking and working through emotional troubles.

EMDR therapy for animals

EMDR therapy for animals to combat their emotional stress developed from past events. 

All mammals have an emotional brain. There is a natural process of emotional appeasement that enables us to reprocess information received during stressful or traumatic events. But under the effect of intense fears or if the animal has not had enough experiences in its youth, this process blocks and phobias appear. 

Animal EMDR is a natural approach that allows this innate healing process to start up again, relieving the stressful events. The individual will thus be detached from the painful emotion and stress.

Vegan Therapies

My experience as a vegan, activist and therapist has helped me understand the impact on people of the awareness of animal cruelty, the impact of activism, and the potential need for therapy. The range of feelings I know we can encounter is both broad and individual. They include shock, horror, sadness, helplessness, grief, guilt, pain, disappointment, anger, despair, a desire for escape, a yearning to help, and many more. Our ways of coping with these vary, and I think the important thing is to acknowledge our individual needs to help ourselves and ensure we do all we can for the animals. For more information about Vegan Therapies - please visit my website.

Vegan therapy skills include:

• Vegan trauma
• Vegan depression
• Activism trauma/stress

Other areas I can help with include:

• Addiction
• Adhd
• Animal EMDR (currently training)
• Anxiety
• Autism
• Bereavement
• Children
• Couples
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Family therapy
• First counselling session
• Grief
• OCD
• Phobias
• Relationships
• Trauma

Your first therapy session usually focuses on history taking & treatment planning.
