Hello and a warm welcome.My name is Edom. I am an Integrative Therapist who has been delivering emotional and therapeutic support to individuals for over ten years.It takes great bravery and determination to reach out to a therapist. There are also a wide range of therapeutic approaches, which may complicate things and leave you at a bit of a loss as to which is the right approach for you. I am trained in and apply teachings/perspectives from different schools of psychotherapy, including Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Existential, as I believe everything depends on the given individual. I have also completed online and telephone therapy training. At the core, my approach is relational. I value the relationship between client and therapist and meeting each client as the individual that they are. I believe the therapeutic relationship to be the basis of successful therapeutic work.I see my role as a therapist as a companion to walk beside my clients as they cross bridges to new understandings of themselves and their life meaning. We work collaboratively. I aim to create a safe space, free of judgement, where I can support you in exploring your difficulties and past trauma so that you can gain a better understanding of your needs and make any changes you may wish to.My specialist interest is in trauma/complex trauma, and in particular, working with childhood abuse survivors. However, I can support you in working through a range of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, existential crisis, life transitions, spirituality, loss and grief, work-related issues, cultural issues, relationship and family difficulties and self-identity, to name some. I feel honoured by my role as a therapist. It allows me to give others space to discover who they are and feel empowered to make changes that support and enhance the life they want to live. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a consultation where we can explore what is going on for you and how I can assist you.
