CK Therapy client reviews
Read this wonderful client testimonial from someone who’s worked with our compassionate partner Lisa.
“I’ve been going to sessions with Lisa for almost a year and a half, after struggling with the effects of childhood trauma l needed someone to help me unpack everything and help to improve self esteem, anxiety, depression and relationships with others.
Lisa has been a wonderful therapist and has truly helped me to change my life, how I feel about myself, understand my life experiences and understand how to better connect with others. She creates a warm and accepting environment, and I couldn’t recommend enough.”

CK Therapy : EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy)
We often get asked What does EMDR feel like…
Just like in a big sort out of your home, in EMDR Therapy you may gently open the boxes of memories and experiences that have been tucked away.
Some things you might choose to keep because they matter, or they’re part of your story.
​
Some feelings can be put back where they belong, in the past, or to someone else, rather than carried with you or into the present.
And some things like shame that was never yours to hold can be carefully let go of.
EMDR isn’t about erasing what happened. It’s about sorting, organising, and deciding what no longer needs to take up space in your mind , you’re just making room to breathe.

EMDR is an intensive therapy. We often describe traditional psychotherapy as a walk, while EMDR can feel more like a run. Throughout the process, we will take steps to ensure you move at a pace that feels right for you, helping you stay grounded and safe enough for the faster pace when needed.
There is no “right” or “wrong” option our goal is simply to support you in reaching the place you want to be.
If you want to learn or ask anymore please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We’ve been loving this little self-care app called Finch and wanted to share it with you.

It’s kind of like a modern Tamagotchi.
You look after yourself and your Finch grows alongside you as a result.
Gentle, encouraging and helpful alongside therapy.

It’s a free app. You can set small, manageable goals, share any diagnoses if you want, and the app adapts support gently. There are also tools like soundscapes, grounding techniques and journalling. It helps you notice patterns by tracking moods in a really simple, non-overwhelming.
​
If you’re looking for something kind, low-pressure, and supportive, especially on days when motivation feels hard, we can’t recommend it enough. And it’s CUTE!

CK Therapy's Catherine and compassionate Partner Carolyn have been working hard on a brand new project. Our podcast is out now! 

CK Therapy Thoughtful reflections.
Learning new coping mechanisms is a lot like learning a new route when you’re driving. Your brain has familiar pathways the “Route A” you’ve taken for years.
These are the synapses that fire automatically because they’re well worn and practiced. Even if Route A isn’t the most helpful anymore, it feels safe and predictable.
Then therapy offers you Route B a new way of responding, one that might take you somewhere better, faster, or with less stress. But because it’s unfamiliar, it can feel scary at first. You might want someone with you. You might only try part of the journey. You might turn back to Route A because it’s what you know. And that’s okay. That’s how the brain learns.
When we practice new coping strategies, we’re literally building new neural connections. Each time you choose the new route, even for a moment, you strengthen it. And each time you fall back into the old one, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It simply means your brain went to what felt safest in that moment.
Some days you’ll have the capacity for the new route. Other days you won’t the “extra slice of pizza” days where comfort wins, and that’s completely human.
What matters is this:
You don’t shame yourself while learning the new path.
Change takes repetition, compassion, and support and in therapy, you don’t have to drive the new route alone.
