About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified EMDR trauma and relationship therapist with extensive experience working in both the charity sector and the NHS.

With 30 years of experience as a healthcare professional, I draw on a rich personal journey, offering you a warm, down-to-earth, and safe presence.  In therapy, you will have the opportunity to embark on a journey of personal growth by delving into learning about attachment styles, dysfunctional patterns and unconscious behaviours that impact you and your relationships. In addition, EMDR is an evidence-based, advanced, and integrative therapy that often works significantly faster than Trauma CBT and other approaches. On average, EMDR may require just six sessions to treat a single trauma, compared to twenty sessions with traditional therapies.  In addition, I have other tools, such as Internal Family System, Gestalt dialogue, Focusing, mindfulness, and attachment-based interventions, among others.  I tailor therapy to your unique strengths, preferences, and personal needs, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

In trauma work, I will guide you through:

1. Establishing a working therapeutic relationship 

2. Assessment 

3. Stabilisation

4. Processing trauma

5. Posttraumatic growth

About Me

My expertise includes depression, anxiety, birth trauma, childhood trauma, bereavement, abuse, trauma resulting from medical treatment, cancer, and relationship issues. I currently work as a psychotherapist with individuals and couples in the NHS and also maintain a private practice. Originally from Latvia, I have spent most of my life in the UK. 

Practice description

On average, each person goes through three significant relationships in their lifetime. We have a choice to stop chasing perfection and reinvent our relationships. 

In couples' therapy, the issues I can address are:

- Conflict

- lack of support

- betrayal of trust and affairs

- relationship crises

- poor communication

- separation and endings

- unfulfilling relationship

The root cause of unconscious defensive behaviours that create rupture in relationships, such as stonewalling, anxious rumination, fighting for your needs, angry escalation and avoidance, is childhood and past relational traumas. EMDR and attachment-based interventions are effective in creating lasting positive changes, allowing both partners to bring out the best in each other. Additionally, through coaching, you will be given tools to express your deepest emotions, advocate for yourself, and learn new ways to communicate.   

The stages of Couples therapy are: 
*assessment and goal setting, when we will take time to reflect on your relationship and identify the key areas you would like to address in therapy 
* identifying the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck, and the relationship type
* understanding how your history contributes to relationship problems today, and exploring your attachment style
* addressing differences and unresolved conflicts
*working through relational and individual trauma
