Ali Smith - healing trauma and overcoming limiting beliefs, using EMDR

Make peace with your past, heal painful memories

I’m so pleased that you have dropped by !

People person, empath, animal lover, EMDR therapist, trauma informed behavioural change coach, inner child healing and devoted mamma, my core values are love, connection, spirituality and freedom.

Love – because I believe it to be the most healing, powerful force on the planet and if we could expand our capacity to fully love ourselves and others then we could powerfully transform our lives.

Connection – because we are wired for connection

Spirituality – we are souls having a human experience.

Freedom – freedom to be authentic and to empower others to do the same. No-one will ever be able to replace you or replicate your calling in this life.

What I can do to help you

There is a much evidence to suggest that trauma gets stored in the body . Any issue involving emotional pain needs to be dealt with at the level of the emotional ( mammalian ) brain, which is where all of our memories are stored and our emotions get processed.

Working with methodologies like EMDR , polyvagal techniques to regulate the nervous system , inner child healing , hypnotherapy , specific NLP techniques and sub modality work is my preferred approach.

In the words of ex soldier and PTSD expert, Martin Webster “Trying to fix an emotional issue at the level of the rational mind is like opening the boot of your car when the engine breaks down. You are looking in the wrong place. It simply doesn’t work “.

Committing myself to working alongside you in helping you to make peace with your past.

I am equipped to guide you through the process of healing trauma ,transforming shame.

Life doesn’t always gift people with the best start. A traumatic childhood may result in people developing unhealthy coping mechanisms and destructive patterns of behaviour which, if left unresolved, may impact their lives for years to come.

The majority of my sessions are conducted online via ZOOM as well as a small amount of face to face work from clinics in Stamford, Lincolnshire and Peterborough.
