Depression is often associated with negative beliefs about oneself and the world, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these negative beliefs, leading to a more adaptive and positive worldview. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and beliefs, reducing the intensity of the emotional response and increasing emotional resilience. By addressing the underlying negative beliefs, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall mood and well-being.

MY APPROACH TO COUNSELLING FOR DEPRESSION STARTS WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ITS OCCURRING: Small amount of stress can be managed easily and may not negatively impact your health, however, too much stress can contribute to worsening depression and anxiety, because high levels of stress increase adrenaline levels which makes it impossible for you to slow down, unwind and rejuvenate. That is when I come in to support you. I work together with you to identify the most challenging situations and find ways to manage them, determine how to discard your inner critic, develop tools to decrease stress, replace negative coping skills with positive ones, so that you gain your life back...

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings".
