EMDR for Trauma

Relationships; individuals, couples – I see couples initially to look at presenting issues and goals for therapy. I then quite often ask to see individuals separately to look at core beliefs/convictions, past unresolved issues, intimacy issues, expressing emotions, etc., – issues that may need exploring in more depth before therapy as a couple resumes.
