The backbone of my work is the systemic philosophy, which draws from many different sources like psychology, cybernetics, biology and sociology. Another significant influence on my work is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. Elements of Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Somatic Therapy & attachment theory help give space to emotionally charged material and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques to integrate and anchor newly learned behavior in everyday life. Apart from this, almost every therapy school has made many valuable contributions, and they all have their spaces and moments in my clinical practice.
EMDR Therapy: EMDR is effective in processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact. During an EMDR session, as you focus on a specific disturbing memory, your brain naturally begins to reprocess the information, leading to a reduction in the emotional charge and intrusive thoughts associated with the trauma. The benefits of EMDR therapy include reduced anxiety and stress, improved mood and emotional regulation, increased self-esteem and confidence, enhanced ability to cope with challenges, and improved relationships.
Family Therapy (Systemic): I believe that families are complex systems, and by understanding the dynamics within a family, we can address individual and relational challenges. Family therapy helps families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger bonds. I focus on empowering parents to understand and support their children’s needs rather than providing direct therapy to the children themselves. I believe that children thrive best within strong family units, and by working with parents, we can create positive change for the entire family.
Systemic Therapy: During our sessions, we will focus on the interconnectedness of individuals within their relationships and social systems. We’ll work together to understand how your past experiences, current relationships, and broader environment influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We can identify and address underlying issues by exploring these patterns, leading to positive change.
Parenting Sessions: I provide supportive and informative parenting sessions to help parents navigate the challenges of raising children. These sessions can address various topics, including behaviour management, communication skills, and building strong parent-child relationships.
