Trauma Therapy & EMDR in Portsmouth and Southsea

For when you're tired of living in survival mode.​​​

​

You might look like you're coping on the outside, while inside you're exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed. Perhaps you're constantly putting other people first, trying to get everything right, or wondering why you can't simply switch off.

​

Sometimes what looks like anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing or perfectionism is actually a nervous system that has learned to survive.

​

Therapy can help you understand why you feel this way — and begin to find a different way of living.

Therapy that looks beyond the symptoms​

​

I'm Nikki Gurd, an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist and trauma therapist with over 20 years' experience in adult mental health.

​

I specialise in trauma therapy, EMDR and burnout, integrating evidence-based psychological therapies with an understanding of attachment, the nervous system and the experiences that have shaped who you are today.

But therapy with me isn't about finding out what's wrong with you.

​

It's about understanding what happened to you, how you learned to survive it, and what you need now.

​

I see people in my office in Southsea, Portsmouth or online via Zoom.
