Erin Ferguson

I  am only available on Saturdays at this time. 

I am an Integrative counsellor and provide a safe, non-judgemental and trauma-informed therapy space. I provide a person-centred approach meaning that I will focus on what you bring to sessions. I have recently trained in EMDR therapy and am keen to develop my practice with this and so particularly invite enquiries from clients who are interested in accessing EMDR therapy.

I am only working online at this time and can offer sessions by Teams. 

I offer the first session free and this can be a shorter consultation (30mins) to see if I am the right fit for you and to ensure that this is the appropriate approach for your needs. 

Whilst using EMDR therapy, the sessions will consist of the following:

Initial sessions - intake questions including history taking and identifying key areas which you would like to address. With EMDR therapy, I will be exploring with you some issues that currently cause distress and which you are keen to resolve.

After this, I will explain stabilising strategies such as safe place or breathing exercises. This is to ensure you have the tools to manage emotional regulation in sessions whilst processing and outside of the counselling room. 

Following this, we can begin reprocessing of past memories which may lead to a change in the present, a reduction of distress, and a new way forward. EMDR therapy can bring results in a relatively short amount of time, however I will go at a pace that is comfortable and safe for you.
