CBT
A type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps clients understand how their thoughts and feelings influence behaviour. During the course of treatment, people learn how to identify and change unhelpful or irrational thoughts patterns that have a negative influence on behaviour.
CBT helps challenge negative core beliefs and is a most effective approach for people suffering from :
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- PTSD – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
The British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (N.I.C.E.) recommends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to treat Depression and severe to moderate anxiety.
EMDR
A model to find resolution to mild and extreme trauma using bilateral stimulation of the brain through a particular eye movement technique. Traumas are relative to each person and this approach is highly effective with all traumas from minor ones to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

“Reaching out to seek professional help is not an easy step to take, however, it is a brave one. As a therapist with 18 years of experience I believe that each individual is unique and is looking for a personal approach to find resolution, closure and a new way forward.
“Muneeza has a very gentle and kind approach and encourages me to find my own solutions”. S.D.
“ I decided to go for it and follow the Yellow Brick Road that Muneeza had set for me following the EMDR protocols. It was absolutely mind-blowing, I came out of those abusive relationships that I was no longer able to tolerate and turned into jolly, happy ME.” B.B.
“I couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful therapist to help my daughter address her issues, and provide her with the tools to move forward to greater confidence and emotional problem-solving. I am endlessly grateful for Muneeza’s support through a turbulent time in my daughter’s life.” S.C.
