Support for Parents of Young Adults Struggling with Mental Health
Our philosophy for therapy is away from the old school formal setting and focus on ‘what is wrong with you’ to a trauma focused ‘what has happened to you’. Emma & Agata are trauma trained psychological therapists with extensive experience working in NHS complex needs services. Like all registered therapists we are trained to work across the lifespan with a range of difficulties but specailise in childhood trauma and the impact, sometimes this might attract a diagnosis of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, (EUPD) Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). We blend a range of approaches tailored to the individual whether that is for short term work or something longer term. We can adapt depending on your preference and blend a dynamic, engaging approach to help you learn new ways of coping with practical skills where needed but also a deep understanding of yourself, experiences and ways of relating to your self and others to enable you to live a more satisfying life.
‘I was really nervous about seeing a therapist as I didn’t actually know what was ‘wrong’ but Emma really understood me and I felt at ease during the assessment. She’s not just a ‘how does that make you feel’ therapist which I find patronising, she’s practical and genuine.’
‘I feel a lot more insightful to my problems and why I think the way that I do, and do the things that I do. Everything seems to finally make sense.’
‘My life has changed over the last year, I never believed I’d be any different but I now have friends and a job.’
‘I’ll always be grateful for you never giving up on me even when I gave up on myself’
