Psychological Treatment

 

Common problems

​

Larissa has expertise in working with post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, depression, anxiety, phobias, eating disorders, personality disorders and addictions. While some difficulties may be severe enough to warrant a diagnosis, she doesn't believe in over-pathologising clients' complaints. If you feel that you are struggling with challenges in your life and don't know where to begin, therapy may be able to help.

Treatment Modalities

​

Once we have a good understanding of what is troubling you, Larissa will work with you to select the most appropriate treatment approach - taking into account your preferences and what the research tells us will be most effective. I am trained and experienced in several therapies, including:

​

• Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy

• Schema therapy

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy

• Dialectical behaviour therapy

• Acceptance and commitment therapy

​

My Approach

​

While I have extensive training and experience in the treatment of mental health difficulties, I believe that nobody knows you better than you. My approach to therapy is therefore highly collaborative. I can share with you my knowledge of evidence-based treatment techniques and strategies, but it is you who sets the goals and pace for sessions.
