Lisa Daitz
EMDR psychotherapistAbout Me
Anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, loss or a feeling of being 'stuck'...whatever the challenges you face, I am here to help. I provide a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space to allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings and help you make sense of your own unique situation. I work with you to gain better understanding, identify choices where previously there often seemed to be no choice, and see the possibilities for possible change.
I practise existential-phenomenological psychotherapy, a philosophically-based, yet down-to-earth approach. Its emphasis is on working together to understand how you make sense of your life and its meaning. Within this are the values, assumptions and attitudes, all of which inform the way that difficulties and issues are understood. As we become more aware of the way we live our lives, we open up choices and the potential for the future. Through greater self-awareness we have the ability to make the necessary changes to manage life in a more fulfilling way. Alongside existential work, I incorporate humanistic, Freudian and Jungian concepts into my work and also draw on CBT, providing an approach that is completely tailored to your situation and your needs.
I am also trained and hold certification as an EMDR practitioner and use this to help resolve PTSD, trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem and phobias. I use EMDR as a stand-alone approach and incorporate it into longer term client, recognising it's tremendous effects in the treatment of trauma.
I know how difficult it can be to make the first move to seek help and support but I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support you. I am also committed to making therapy accessible and offer a low-cost therapy service through a therapists-in-training programme.
