"My sessions have been life changing"

For many years I had been experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which had taken over nearly every aspect of my life. It severely affected my work and relationships—I was experiencing constant nightmares and flashbacks, I couldn’t sleep, and I rarely left the house unless absolutely necessary. I was on edge all the time, struggling with intense emotions and physical symptoms, and felt drained, irritable, and completely withdrawn. At my lowest point, I had been signed off work for months and felt completely isolated.

I decided to refer to therapy and shortly after I began EMDR therapy with Chris. Chris created a safe, patient, non-judgmental, and empowering space for me to process my traumas. His professionalism and passion for his work are remarkable, and I felt fully supported and informed every step of the way. Chris explained the rationale behind every aspect of the process and ensured I was comfortable and confident, which made a huge difference in my willingness to engage with therapy.

My sessions with Chris have been life changing. The results have exceeded anything I could have imagined. I no longer experience flashbacks or nightmares, and my sleep has improved to a level I never thought possible. I’ve reconnected with parts of myself that I had suppressed for years and have become my most authentic self. I now trust myself, have developed immense self-compassion, and feel empowered to assert myself and set healthy boundaries.

I am finally present in my life—no longer stuck in the past or trying to control the future. I’ve gained awareness of blind spots like obsessive-compulsive behaviours and now feel in control of my life and my future. I was able to return to work and my relationships are healthier and more authentic. Most importantly, I’ve been able to heal deeply painful parts of myself that I never thought I could, and for the first time in years, I’m genuinely excited about what my future holds.

Before therapy, I was simply surviving day by day. Now, I feel like I can truly live and thrive. I will forever be grateful for the profound impact Chris has had on my healing journey.
