About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for landing on this page.The personal message of the day is this: whatever worries and anxieties overwhelm you, please remember that you are bigger than your feelings and thoughts. Being with parts of you without pushing them away is a starting point of healing. And you don't have to face your fears alone.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a qualified EMDR trauma and relationship therapist with extensive experience working in both the charity sector in London, including the refuge for people with chronic suicidal thoughts and experiences, and the NHS Talking therapies. Currently, I work in the NHS as a psychotherapist supporting individuals and couples who are facing the life changing diagnosis of cancer. In my private practice, I focus on treating PTSD, childhood trauma and couples therapy. Originally from Latvia, I have spent most of my life in the UK.
In therapy, you will have the opportunity to embark on a journey of personal growth and self discovery. The starting point is mindfulness and self-compassion. Some other things that might be useful will be learning about attachment styles, dysfunctional patterns and unconscious behaviours that impact you and your relationships.
I recommend EMDR because it is an integrative approach which absorbed the best parts of major therapeutic schools. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy practiced over the last forty years, which produces fast and lasting changes not only in healing psychological trauma, but also if you suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD.
I hold certificates in:
EMDR accredited by EMDR Europe
Certificate in Couples Therapy
Certificate in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy
Person-Centred Counselling for Depression
Trauma Treatment Certificate
Working with suicide and self-harm
Reproductive Trauma
Complex PTSD certificate
Master of Science in Therapeutic Counselling
Practice description
Trauma-focused approach like EMDR is a unique take on couple work that will be especially useful if one or both partners have attachment issues, childhood trauma and mental health issues.On average, each person goes through three significant relationships in their lifetime. We have a choice to stop chasing perfection and reinvent our relationships.
In couples' therapy, the issues I can address are:- Conflict
- lack of support
- betrayal of trust and affairs
- relationship crises
- poor communication
- separation and endings
- unfulfilling relationship
The root cause of unconscious defensive behaviours that create rupture in relationships, such as stonewalling, anxious rumination, fighting for your needs, angry escalation and avoidance, is childhood and past relational traumas. EMDR and attachment-based interventions are effective in creating lasting positive changes, allowing both partners to bring out the best in each other. Additionally, through coaching, you will be given tools to express your deepest emotions, advocate for yourself, and learn new ways to communicate.
The stages of Couples therapy are:
*assessment and goal setting
* identifying the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck, and the relationship type
* understanding how your history contributes to relationship problems today, and exploring your attachment style
* addressing differences and unresolved conflicts
*working through relational and individual trauma
