Personal statement
Emmanuel will approach you with empathy, understanding and genuine interest. Having immersed himself in the various disciplines of clinical psychology, he is able to tailor the most appropriate evidence-based approach to suit your individual needs. Together you will agree on a care plan that might include CBT, narrative therapy, systemic therapy, MBT and EMDR. Making sense of how your difficulties came to be, you will develop the necessary strategies for you to move forward. The aim is for you to end therapy with the necessary knowledge and skills of how to live a more balanced and self-fulfilling life, which should last a lifetime.
