About
Welcome. I discovered my passion for psychology having worked and volunteered for many years in health and community development. With 10 years of experience in private practice I have helped many adults often experiencing chronic anxiety, depression and stress. My extensive training in a wide range of therapies means I can tailor your therapy sessions to meet your individual needs. As part of your therapy, your progress will be monitored to ensure your goals are being met.
Services
Lauretta Lewis Psychology provides assessment and treatment services for adults, young people and couples experiencing difficulties in the following areas: difficulties with life’s adjustments, problems with emotions and mood, low self-confidence or relationship difficulties. Treatment is based on the goals established in your initial session. The focus of therapy is to help you resolve current obstacles in your life, or work at a deeper level to modify entrenched unhelpful patterns.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing(EMDR) is a therapy often used to process traumatic memories that are ‘stuck’ in our memory system and interfere with healthy everyday functioning. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation of the brain using rapid eye movement, alternate sounds or tapping sensations to correctly store these memories. EMDR processing is thought to mimic the REM (rapid eye movement) or dream sleep that occurs naturally to process information and memories.
