Holistic Approach combining EMDR Therapy with Parts Work

Approaching mental health holistically and building a strong therapeutic relationship are foundational to my practice. I integrate the mind-body connection to foster self-awareness and resilience, while creating a trusting and collaborative partnership that supports effective therapy.
 

When working with trauma, I use a combination of EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy and a parts-based approach. This integration allows me to address not only distressing experiences but also the internal systems that hold and respond to those experiences.

 

Parts work is based on the understanding that we are made up of different parts of ourselves, some of which may support us while others may feel in conflict. When paired with EMDR, this approach helps ensure that the parts of you holding trauma feel seen, heard, and supported, making it possible to reprocess difficult memories more safely and effectively.

While this approach is particularly effective for trauma and complex trauma, it can also support healing from anxiety, depression, and a range of other mental health challenges.

“In order to unconditionally accept ourselves and ‘earn’ resilience, we need to develop a relationship to all of us: to our wounded and needy parts, to the parts hostile to vulnerability, to the parts that survived by distancing and denial - to the parts we love, the parts we hate, and even the parts that intimidate us.”
