EMDR Therapy / Trauma TherapyEMDR THERAPY/ TRAUMA THERAPY:

Are you feeling stuck in the grip of past traumas, unable to break free and move forward?

Why EMDR Therapy? Let’s explore…

Are you feeling stuck in the grip of past traumas? Does the weight of your trauma feel like an anchor holding you back?

Are you constantly on edge, your heart racing at the slightest trigger, trapped in a cycle of anxiety that leaves you feeling powerless? Do you find yourself struggling to get out of bed, weighed down by the heavy fog of depression?

Does the pressure to perform suffocate you with fear of failure?

I understand. It’s not easy carrying the weight of past experiences, especially when they continue to impact your present. I know that the journey to healing can feel overwhelming, and that is why I am here to support you.

EMDR therapy is more than just a treatment; it’s a beam of hope for those who feel lost in their trauma. It’s about reclaiming your power and rewriting the narrative of your life.

We also understand that taking that first step can be the hardest part. Maybe you’ve tried other therapies in the past and felt like nothing changed, or you’re afraid to confront your trauma, worried that it will only make things worse. These are valid concerns, and you’re not alone in feeling them.

I want to assure you that EMDR therapy is different. It’s not about rehashing painful memories or reliving past traumas. Instead, it’s about giving you the tools and support you need to process those experiences in a safe and controlled environment.

EMDR Therapy with an EMDR-Trained Therapist

Hello! I am Shai

I am an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’m honoured to be here with you on this journey towards healing. Think of me as your supportive co-pilot, ready to navigate the twists and turns of your healing process alongside you.

My journey of becoming a therapist was ignited by a deep-seated belief in the power of healing the mind and body. I’ve personally witnessed how trauma can echo through every part of our being—not just in our thoughts and emotions, but in our bodies too.

With EMDR therapy, we’re diving into the layers of your experience, exploring how your mind, emotions, and body all influence one another. Together, we’ll unravel the knots of trauma and clear the path for healing and transformation.

I know that taking the first step into therapy can feel like stepping into the great unknown, and I want you to know that my approach is warm, empathetic, and judgment-free—I’m here to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
