The counselling was really great, and I was even put in contact with a person who would support me with my inquiry at work, and represent me if needed. Having professional support in this matter took such a load off my mind.

I have an holistic approach to all my clients.   I don’t see them as an individual with depression or an individual with anxiety, I look at their history from childhood onwards I ask them when they first noticed that they were feeling what they feel now and see if there are any significant events in their lives at that time which could account for their dis-ease.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study revealed that most people who get sick have something in their past that predisposes them to do so.   So when I work with clients who are depressed it is important to discover what may have triggered this low mood, and if it is a single significant event, or even a series of similarly frightening or humiliating experiences, I may use EMDR to process it/them so it/they is/are no longer troublesome for the client.   I also look at what may be triggering the mood in the present, or any anticipated in the future, and, if appropriate, process them with EMDR also.   

I work on the basis that accepting the things we cannot change and changing the things we can is the recipe for a peaceful life. Harbouring resentments, or regretting things that have happened in the past prevents people from feeling comfortable in the present, so accepting fully the past is the past, and changing anything that is preventing you living comfortably in the present or the future, leads to a peaceful life.
