Agnieszka Trenholme

I currently have limited availability within my practice. I work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 9-3pm. 

Hello, my name is Agnieszka. I am an integrative counsellor and certified EMDR therapist working with adults (18+). 

My aim is to support people in discovering what they need to live a more fulfilling life and reconnect with themselves and others.

My practice is trauma- and EMDR-informed. I integrate EMDR approaches where appropriate and when this feels right for you. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative therapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven for the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression and more. 

'When trauma stores incompletely the past intrusively comes up in your present. You can then be triggered anytime, having unwanted symptoms and reactions. The brain and nervous system react as if the past trauma is currently happening. EMDR corrects this mis-storage, so the trauma loses its charge and you can react in the present without the past interfering'. (S. Ruse)

I have experience of working across a range of client presentations including anxiety, depression, loss, difficulty with relationships, anger, low self-esteem, feeling stuck in life, PTSD. I have a particular interest in working with people affected by relational trauma. 

I offer counselling for both short and long term, in English or Polish.

I work according to Â鶹ԭ´´'s ethical principles and standards of practice and am fully insured. My work is overseen by a qualified and registered supervisor.

Training:

Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, level 6 (Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling), Evergreen Certification in EMDR therapy.

I find that clients often come to their first session feeling anxious and nervous about what is going to happen or indeed what to say. Please be assured that this is common, and I therefore intend to put you at ease as much as possible. Although there are some things I will need to ask in the first session, like what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to get from it, the first short session is a chance to meet and see what it might be like to work together. 

I offer a rate of £25 for an initial session (30 min).
