Frequently asked questions
I offer body based (somatic) psychotherapy which uses sensory input to change your emotional/survival brain. The tools I use are havening, EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) and EFT (emotional freedom technique or tapping) within a trauma- informed framework. We work to establish emotional safety first and then we will explore the issues that are coming up for you.
To discuss with me please book a Discovery call on my website Alchemy Therapies.
That is impossible to answer as it depends on the individual.
However in general most people find 6-15 sessions is enough to get them on the road to recovery. However there is no upper limit (although 6 is my minimum to be effective).
The process begins with a Discovery call and then if we are a good match you will be invited to book an Initial Consultation with me where we will go through your history to identify the specific issues and experiences which are contributing to your pain or suffering. We finish with a session of havening, a psychosensory soothing tool, to explore your body's reaction to a new message of safety.
Please go to my booking page on my website here.
Select whether you want an individual or group service and find Discovery Call which is where we will start to explore what issues you are experiencing and how I might help you.
This cost a nominal fee (£20) which is refundable should you decide to go ahead.
Anxiety is both a body-based experience and a mental one. which results from unresolved emotional threat you experienced as a child. It cannot be fixed by thinking about it (that only makes it worse). In order to heal you have to find the root cause - which usually relates to overwhelming experiences in your childhood coupled with a sensitive nervous system (which 20% of people have).
For more info see my Youtube channel and this video where I show you what you can do to tackle your anxiety and heal yourself from this debilitating condition.
I have successfully reduced the anxiety of hundreds of people by resolving memories buried within their bodies. Your body has to know it's over and then the anxiety has no need to be there. To discuss with me please book a Discovery call on my website Alchemy Therapies.
