Individual Therapy.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach that was originally developed to treat individuals who have experienced trauma but has now been found to be effective in helping with a wide range of disorders. During EMDR therapy, the individual is guided to call to mind a particular disturbing issue or event, and notice what images, thoughts, feelings and sensations arise while focusing on bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping. This process helps the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing the emotional charge associated with them. EMDR can be beneficial for individuals experiencing PTSD, CPTSD and other disorders by facilitating the integration of traumatic experiences, alleviating distressing symptoms, and promoting a sense of empowerment and resilience.

Charlotte is trained in the standard protocol for EMDR, as well as Early Trauma Protocol (including preverbal trauma), the Flash Technique and EMDR for eating disorders and body image issues.

At the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the idea that we can accept what is out of our personal control, and commit to action that improves and enriches our life. ACT encourages individuals to embrace mindful awareness and acceptance of their thoughts and feelings (however uncomfortable) while committing to taking action that is in line with their values to build a rich and meaningful life, regardless of challenging internal experiences.

ACT is often useful in treating anxiety, depression, grief and adjustment difficulties.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) was first intended for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) but has been adjusted to help those with various mental health issues like substance use disorders, eating disorders, and depression. DBT is rooted in the idea of balance between acceptance and change. It teaches skills for managing emotions, fostering healthy relationships, dealing with distress, and controlling behaviour.

DBT is often useful in treating personality disorders such as BPD, and anxiety disorders.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. This therapy is based on the idea that what we think and believe affects how we feel and act. Through CBT, people can learn to recognise and change unhelpful thought patterns, swap negative behaviours for better ones, and build skills to handle life's challenges.

CBT is often used to treat anxiety and depression.

Ego states are thought to represent various aspects of the self, developed in response to past experiences and relationships. Ego state interventions (parts work) focuses on exploring and understanding the different parts, or "ego states," within an individual's personality.

The goal of utalising ego state interventions is to help the wounded parts heal, create harmony between all parts of the self, restoring mental and emotional balance. Ego state interventions can be used to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, among other mental health struggles.
