When people come to therapy, they often arrive with a mix of questions, worries, and hopes that things will feel different. My role is to offer a calm, supportive space where we can begin to understand what you have been through and what you need moving forward through women’s counselling and EMDR therapy in Ushaw Moor, Durham.
Many people carry the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences long after the event itself has passed. These experiences can influence how you think, feel and respond to the world around you.
I specialise in supporting people who are living with trauma or post-traumatic stress. Using EMDR therapy, including EMDR therapy for women, we can gently process memories and experiences that may feel stuck or overwhelming. This includes EMDR for relationship trauma and EMDR for women with anxiety. The aim is not to erase the past, but to help it lose its emotional intensity so that it no longer holds the same power over your present life.
Living with the challenges associated with personality disorders can feel confusing and exhausting, both for the individual and those around them. Feelings can be intense, relationships may feel complicated, and patterns can be difficult to break.
I offer a compassionate and understanding space where we can explore these patterns together through women’s counselling and, where appropriate, an integrated EMDR therapy approach. Therapy focuses on building insight, developing healthier coping strategies, and strengthening your sense of self, all within a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Relationships are an important part of our lives, yet they can also be a source of stress, conflict and emotional pain. Difficulties may arise in romantic relationships, family dynamics or friendships.
In therapy, we can explore the patterns that may be affecting your relationships, understand your emotional responses and help you develop clearer communication and healthier boundaries. This may include EMDR for relationship trauma and EMDR therapy for women where past experiences are impacting current connections. This work can often lead to greater confidence, stronger connections and a deeper understanding of yourself.
Alongside my core specialities, I also support clients with a wide range of psychological and emotional challenges through EMDR therapy in Ushaw Moor, Durham and women’s counselling. These include:
ADHD
Antisocial personality traits
Anxiety, including support through EMDR for women with anxiety
Autism
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Depression
Experiences of domestic abuse or domestic violence
Narcissistic personality traits (NPD)
Self-esteem difficulties
Sexual abuse and trauma, supported through EMDR therapy
Questions around spirituality and personal meaning
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, or whether your experiences fit into any of these areas, please know that you are still welcome to reach out. Many people start therapy simply because something in their life does not feel quite right, and that is reason enough to begin a conversation about EMDR therapy for women or women’s counselling.
£100 per session
I offer individual one-to-one therapy sessions in a confidential, supportive environment where you can speak openly and explore your experiences at your own pace. Sessions are available in person in Ushaw Moor, County Durham, including EMDR therapy. I also offer online support for clients across the UK, giving you flexibility in how you access support, for services such as EMDR therapy for women, EMDR for relationship trauma, and EMDR for women with anxiety.
Faye is an amazingly talented therapist and an expert on her field. I have a great deal of respect for her and her abilities. I was referred to Faye for EMDR to help with childhood sexual abuse which had infiltrated every aspect of my life leading to severe anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Faye very patiently took the time to listen to the challenges that I was facing and executed an effective treatment plan.
Her approach has helped me overcome many barriers and challenges I was facing, allowing me to live my life without harbouring negative emotions. With Faye/s support and encouragement we worked closely together to break through what I thought was a permanent block in my life, with incredible results. I am now living a very fulfilled life and back doing the job I love. Faye’s genuine care and commitment allowed me to face and overcome challenges that I once thought were permanent. I highly recommend Faye – you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much for helping me on my journey to start my new life. You inspire me so much as a person. You are a strong independent woman, you’re amazing
