THERAPIES
Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Hypnotherapy
You survived your childhood. Now it's time to stop merely coping and start healing.
You may have spent years putting on a brave face, appearing successful on the outside whilst struggling on the inside. Perhaps you find yourself battling low self-esteem, anxiety, people-pleasing, relationship difficulties, or a persistent feeling that you're not good enough.
The experiences we have in childhood shape how we see ourselves, others and the world around us. When those experiences involve abuse, neglect, criticism, rejection or emotional invalidation, the effects can continue long into adulthood.
As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, I help adults understand and heal the emotional wounds of childhood so they can build healthier relationships, develop greater self-worth and create lasting change.
How Childhood Trauma can affect you and how I can help.
You may:
-
Struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth
-
Feel responsible for everyone else's happiness
-
Find it difficult to trust others
-
Feel guilty when putting yourself first
-
Attract unhealthy or emotionally unavailable partners
-
Experience anxiety, overwhelm or emotional numbness
-
Blame yourself for what happened
-
Defend or excuse those who hurt you
-
Feel disconnected from your true self
-
Wonder why life still feels difficult despite your achievements
If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone.
How I can help you
People who have experienced childhood trauma often learn to survive by becoming hypervigilant, independent, perfectionistic, people-pleasing or emotionally disconnected.
These strategies may once have protected you, but they can become barriers to the life and relationships you want today.
My approach is warm and compassionate. Together we work at a pace that feels safe for you, helping you move beyond survival and towards a greater sense of confidence, connection and self-acceptance.
I provide Counselling (Integrative), Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Hypnotherapy. You can choose to have just one of these modalities ...or all three! These therapies work extremely well alongside each other.
Therapies Offered
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT).
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a very effective therapy and is said that IEMT works on "most of the people for most of the time". It is particularly helpful in addressing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Phobias, Anxiety, Depression, Negative unwanted thoughts and undesired identity traits. Being a 'non- disclosure' therapy means that clients can address long standing problems without having to disclose anything to the IEMT practitioner.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a fantastic way of accessing your subconscious mind allowing you more control over your own life. It can help you address any unwanted habits such as smoking, and other issues such as fears, phobias, stress or self-confidence issues. You will always remain in full control of your mind and your dignity will be always respected.
I saw Sophie last summer for IEMT and it was life changing for me. My anxiety and stress levels are much lower now than they were before, I was easily triggered in stressful situations, and I am now much calmer, even 6 months later. Old unresolved trauma is not causing the anger and anxiety it once did and is actually a distant memory in my mind and does not invoke the same reactions as it once did.
The therapy itself was non-invasive and set in a calm and very peaceful environment
I would highly recommend IEMT with Sophia".
