Approaches Used in Therapy

• EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support trauma processing and emotional integration in a way that is paced and grounded.

• Trauma-Focused and Attachment-Based Therapy to explore early relational patterns, repair trust, and foster greater safety within the self and with others.

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients access, process, and work through emotions that may feel overwhelming or unclear.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to build practical tools for managing anxiety, self-talk, and everyday stressors.

• Strength-Based and Person-Centred Practices to honour each client’s innate wisdom, creativity, and capacity for growth.

Denea tailors each session to your pace, goals, and readiness. She provides structured guidance while respecting the uniqueness of your healing process.
