PSYCHOTHERAPIST & COUNSELLOR

What I can help with...

Complex Trauma

70% of people experience trauma at some point in their lives. About 10% of those go on to develop PTSD. Complex PTSD occurs when you've gone through a lot of trauma (no matter how 'little' or 'big' these traumas seem to others). I help you overcome trauma. Period.

Self-Awareness

If you want to learn more about yourself, why you are the way you are, then self-awareness coaching is what you need. I help you come to terms with your past so that you can build a better future while being in the present.

Stress, Anxiety & Addiction

Since COVID-19, more and more people are becoming stressed and anxious in day-to-day situations, sometimes turning to destructive behaviours to manage their anxieties and stresses, the most common of these being substance use. I help you develop resilience in the face of stress, helping you manage anxiety about the future, no matter what the stress.

Confidence

When life gets out of hand, confidence suffers. This is especially true when you've been shot down by others, experience Social Anxiety, or have gone through Trauma. I meet you where you're at and help you build your competence so that you can improve your confidence.

Therapies

The body and mind are inclined towards healing.
If you graze your knee, cut yourself, or get sick, your body quickly intervenes to help you recover.
The same is true for the mind.
Sometimes healing stalls and you're left with recurring fears and anxieties, obsessions and compulsions, traumas and addictions, dreams and memories, thoughts and feelings—and no matter how much you ignore them they stick around. Therapy might be the answer. At Barna Counselling & Consulting, Emil draws from the following holistic therapies to help address common mental health concerns:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
Somatic Experiencing
