Hello,

📅 Availability update

Just a note to say that I am not taking on any new clients at the moment because I am fully booked. I have a small waiting list but I have also made the decision not to add any more folk onto this at present. I would rather people get help as soon as they need it with another practitioner.

I will review my availability and update again in December/January.

Friendship has a profound impact on mental health, a phenomenon supported by psychological theories like Social Support Theory.

According to this theory, individuals with strong social connections, such as friends, experience enhanced emotional well-being due to the availability of emotional, informational, and instrumental support.

Friendships provide a safe space for sharing thoughts and feelings, reducing the negative impact of stressors and fostering a sense of belonging and self-esteem.

The theory also suggests that social interactions trigger the release of oxytocin, a bonding hormone, which in turn reduces feelings of anxiety and depression. Engaging in positive social interactions with friends fosters a sense of purpose, meaning, and engagement, contributing significantly to overall mental wellness.

Tag your bestie here 🥰

✔️I am now officially accredited in EMDR therapy.

EMDR is a powerful scientifically proven psychological therapy to help people recover from traumatic events in their lives that have had a negative impact on their mental health.

Accreditation with the EMDR Association is a mark of competence and trustworthiness as an EMDR therapist.

Although practitioners can practice safely without accreditation, I wanted to hone my skills and develop excellence.

I completed my initial training in 2020 and I have been working hard at my technique and knowledge of using this therapy with different concerns. Thank you to all my lovely clients and supervisor who have been on this journey with me.

You can now find me on the EMDR Association UK register.

Get in touch today if you would like to find out more or book a session.
