Gill | Counselling/Psychotherapy/EMDR therapy
Counselling and Psychotherapy South Croydon
Hello, I'm Gill. I offer counselling and EMDR therapy to adults facing a wide range of issues. I am dedicated to assisting individuals in realising their full potential. This involves nurturing personal growth and authenticity. I recognise that no single approach fits all and so I take a holistic view using a combination of modalities to suit your needs. I offer a warm, non-judgemental, confidential setting giving you the time and space you need to ensure you feel comfortable enough to explore what is on your mind at your own pace.The first session can often be nerve racking and so I aim to put you at ease as you get to know me and I hear more about your life. Whether choosing counselling or EMDR therapy, we will work together to explore what you hope to gain from your sessions, to recognise issues that are troubling you and equip you with the tools, information and resources you need to resolve them and lead a more fulfilling life.
EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) has been proven to be highly effective for processing traumas in life. Our mind can often heal itself naturally, particularly when we are asleep during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. EMDR used this natural process to heal a wide range of issues. If you have had a disturbing experience which continues to cause you distress and affect your quality of life, EMDR can help you to process and overcome those traumatic experiences.
Online therapy
Online therapy may suit you more than in person and has been shown to be just as effective as in person theapy. I use Bilateral Base which is secure platform and as a client you just click on the link I send, similar to other video platforms.My online work is in a confidential space and I do not record (without your permission) or take photos of the session. I ask that you respect this and agree not to record or take photos without my knowlege.
I have completed a course on providing online therapy and adhere to all ethical standards and safety requirements.
