WELCOME TO EAST KENT THERAPY

I can help you overcome trauma through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a popular therapy. It is like resetting or rebooting the software of your nervous system that has become dysregulated because of a shock or adverse incident.

This isn't only single issues like an RTA or an assault. But also deeper long-term problems like neglect or shame from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Even codependency and  attachment issues can be helped by processing out trauma stored in your nervous system. When we do this your sense of self improves and your whole body is restored to good health.

Discover and befriend your inner world using IFS and live your authentic Self. Internal Family Systems is a modern popular trauma-informed therapy where we focus and befriend parts of you that are too busy or shut down, like panic or depression. The assumption is that these parts of your nervous system have been wounded in some way. 

 Imagine that you are the conductor of an orchestra. You sense of self is the conductor and you are conducting the instruments (parts) of your self, some of which are playing and behaving nicely. Say for example a part is overplaying you might develop OCD or anxiety. The task is to begin to regulate that part so it is under your control. 

If you would like regular counselling and psychodynamic therapy this is absolutely a good way to go, focusing on the therapeutic relationship. Over a period of time you can discuss in confidence any aspect of your life: relationships, career, sexuality, fears, ambitions, grieving. If you have medical and health problems we can discuss these and use various techniques and approaches to addressing your concerns. This can include coaching and professional issues

Imagine yourself walking along a hilly track with a bulging backpack. You can feel the weight of it, the baggage and bits and pieces of a lifetime. It is often worth wondering if the baggage you carry actually belongs to you. Maybe it belongs to your ancestor? Often this is called transgenerational (handed down) or intergenerational (more shared out everywhere) trauma. We can process and unburden these burdens and often hand them back to your ancestors. Or help your relatives let go in other ways. Perhaps this relates to karma. Often our ancestors also bestow blessings and gifrs, which we can newly invite back into us.
