Trauma Psychotherapy

A variety of techniques and tools are offered to address issues and traumas that may have originated in childhood. These may include painful losses and/or overwhelming stressful situations, where individuals have experienced more than they can bear alone. The key technique focuses on clients' memories, allowing them to work through and release 'held' emotions that have never been expressed, spoken, or processed.

EFT (Emotion-focused therapy)

Similar to acupuncture, EFT is used to focus on the meridian points or energy hot spots, with each point connected to a different emotion. Tapping these points restores balance to the body's energy and helps relieve symptoms caused by negative thoughts, experiences, or feelings.

Hypnotherapy (Ericksonian)

Hypnosis is used to help individuals access their 'inner well-being' while reducing 'resistance'. Hypnosis is a widely used and successful tool for treating cases such as PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This approach can also teach new skills and amplify existing resources that may still be dormant. It helps clients associate and grasp new ideas and perspectives that they may not have been previously aware of.

Family/Systemic Constellation

Family/Systemic Constellation is offered as a therapeutic approach designed to reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or relationship in order to address any stressors that may be impacting a person and their relationships with the aim of healing them. This alternative approach may help people seeking treatment to view their concerns from a different perspective, enlighten them to deep-rooted causes or triggers, and help them heal through awareness.
