Complex PTSD (CPTSD)
The following testimonial is from a female client suffering from CPTSD.
My childhood wasn’t great and I have had years of sexual abuse and abusive relationships. Which led to dealing with depression, PTSD, ADHD and an eating disorder. Whilst working with Ryan I felt more comfortable than I’ve ever felt to expose my past, my thoughts and my struggles. I was very good at hiding these.
Ryan has been very understanding, empathetic and to be honest at times my only support. I learnt very quickly I could trust him with no judgement or shame.
I have been working with Ryan for 2 years now and my life has changed dramatically, I have left an 11 year abusive relationship, learnt to be compassionate to myself and have self respect. My PTSD symptoms are easing, my eating disorder is managed. I actually stand up for myself now and I can see my past and patterns in a very different light that I am able to manage so much better. I am a completely different person now to who I was.
We’ve looked at many different techniques to help various situations or trauma and ones that haven’t worked so well Ryan knew an alternative.
I honestly couldn’t thank Ryan enough and wouldn’t recommend anyone else. He’s helped change and shape mine and my childrens lives.
PTSD
The following testimonial is from a client suffering from PTSD.
Initially I booked a group of weekly zoom sessions with Ryan after making every excuse why I didn’t need to speak to anyone.
I had been stuck since the passing of my Mother which had brought up a complex history of unresolved childhood abuse & trauma. I was experiencing flash backs, sleepless nights and panic attacks.
Ryan talked me through what to expect and reassured me- holding my hand emotionally, as I started my treatment with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing -EMDR.
Over the weeks a strong therapeutic relationship developed built on trust and mutual respect.
The EMDR treatment was incredibly powerful and overtime I noticed a positive shift in my relationship with my childhood.
The sessions helped me to better understand my emotions and gave me tools to deal with how i feel in a much more constructive way.
Throughout my therapy Ryan remained professional, supportive yet challenging when needed. He has suggested reading matter, blogs/ YouTube content that I would find of personal interest.
I cannot speak more highly of Ryan and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to my family and friends plus he is a really lovely person.
PTSD
The following testimonial is from a client suffering from PTSD.
I have worked with Ryan over a number of periods, engaging in EMDR therapy at different points when I have needed support. Throughout this time, he has consistently been professional, warm, and highly skilled in his approach.
Most recently, Ryan supported me using EMDR to prepare for a significant life event, moving house, while I was experiencing agoraphobia. This included both the psychological preparation and the practical experience of the move itself. With his guidance, I was able to approach and manage something that previously felt overwhelming, and ultimately achieve a successful outcome.
Ryan works flexibly and draws on a range of techniques to suit individual needs. He is an excellent listener, clear in his communication, and creates a supportive and encouraging therapeutic space.
The progress I have made, particularly in overcoming the challenges around moving house, has been a significant and meaningful change in my life. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone considering therapy, especially EMDR.
PTSD
The following testimonial is from a male client recovering from PTSD.
I’ve been working with Ryan during a particularly difficult period in my life following a major work-related incident. Through his support, and especially using EMDR therapy, I’ve been able to begin processing trauma and managing the symptoms of PTSD in a way I didn’t think would ever be possible.
EMDR has made a real difference in how I process difficult memories, and it’s thanks to Ryan’s guidance, patience, and professionalism that I’ve been able to build my confidence again and return to the workplace.
I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone dealing with trauma or PTSD. His support has been invaluable to me, and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my recovery.
PTSD
The following testimonial is from a female client now recovered from PTSD.
Therapy is personal and I certainly had doubts and fears of talking about my mental health and sharing my problems. Finding Ryan changed that.
Ryan is kind and relatable. He went at my pace, offered reassurance when I needed it and enabled me to openly share, all without fear of judgement.
Yes, reliving the traumas was at times very difficult and it’s not a linear journey. Whilst some of the effects of the trauma remain, through EMDR and talking therapies Ryan guided me to quieten my triggers and manage my anxiety and physical reactions. And if any do creep back to the surface Ryan equipped me with tools & techniques to manage. Now I live looking forwards not back.
