My name is Victoria Walford. I am a specialist in EMDR (Eye Movement Densitiisation and Reprocessing). I have healed from my own experience of trauma and have also studied how to treat trauma. Now I help other people, like you, feel great again. Whatever is bothering you I am here to help. Please read on.
Working with me is about relieving yourself from your trauma and how it is playing out in your life now. Humans are social creatures – loneliness kills. Being in relation to others, be it at work, at home or on the sporting field is centre to your health. Trauma creates distrust, some times at a conscious level but mostly subconsciously. This distrust creates negative self-beliefs and a subsequent negative self-fulling prophecy. Distrust is grown out of your lived experience, and out of distress lying unprocessed in your nervous system. All your unwanted thoughts, feelings and actions (bad habits) are founded on this distrust. Your own internal story will guide you today. And though this story is true, and valid, it may not suit who you wish to be today, or it may be steering you away from what you wish to achieve.
As you work with me to relieve whatever brings you to me, I will mentor and coach you to the extent that you need to reach your goals; daily, weekly and monthly. You can consider working with me as preventative or curative. Let’s discuss!
Healing trauma is hard. For some it remains in the subconscious and expresses itself in the physicality via migraines or IBS and chronic fatigue. Or it may express itself via explosive or tumultuous relationships where deep seated distrust plays out, and for others it is more explicitly expressed via intrusive thoughts and poor coping habits. These are just some examples of how trauma can differ…Healing trauma is not quick. It requires a determined mindset and patience. You need brutal honesty. You need to face your pain. You need to develop buckets of self-empathy, non-judgemental reflective skills and lastly boundaries. I will help you do all of that!
If you are interested in self-improvement and mental health you may well have discovered EMDR. You may also think that it is reserved for the traumatised individual or for other manifestations of severe stress that show up in the therapy room. EMDR did indeed grow out of the world of psychotherapy focusing on trauma in the 1970s yet since then academic research has revealed its true power to help everyone, anywhere and everyday. The biological mechanism of action that makes EMDR so powerful is memory reprocessing. If you want to relieve yourself from the blocks that stop you from doing even better then this programme is for you. Together we will re-write your past so you can start to chose your future. And all along doing so you will also learn how to do memory reprocessing for yourself to make sure you have the skill to keep succeeding..
In fact, if you were to use memory reprocessing like a personal gym instructor you too would benefit from its health giving properties, helping to create total wellbeing.
