About Paitra
Hello Hello!
Are you ready to start an emotional journey, a journey to learn yourself on a deeper level? I believe that you hold the inner emotional wisdom and through our journey we will listen and understand your emotional self. Life can be so hard sometimes. Navigating the emotions that arise from the complexities of life can feel daunting and confusing at times.
Who am I? I am a therapist who is passionate about working with clients and their emotional experiences. Our emotional systems are often difficult to understand, the discomfort we experience or the feelings that arise can become hard to manage. We tend to then feel overwhelmed and dysregulated, which may present as pervasive discomfort such as symptoms of depression and anxiety. Many of us were not taught about emotions so we do the best we can in any given moment. However, what may have worked for us in the past we find no longer works in the present and then we feel stuck.
In our work together, we will explore your experiences and your inner world. This involves understanding emotional patterns and how they form from our early life experiences and throughout our life. By understanding our longstanding patterns we together can transform your emotional experience. Together we will learn what is happening inside of your mind and body, allowing you to reconnect with yourself. We will explore self-criticism, challenge stuck feelings and look into understanding the impacts of trauma. Working in this way requires an openness to experiencing your inner world, and a motivation to approach and transform your emotion patterns.
I have a background of supporting those recovering from trauma/ PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, infertility, perinatal/ postnatal, really any adversities, difficulties, trauma or disturbing life events. My own life experiences and the continued emotionally processing from them are some of the best training I could have ever received.
I utilize a collection of Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma informed, Somatic (body) work, Self-Compassion, Mindfulness-Based, Narrative Therapy, IFS and Attachment Theory approaches to cultivate a space where you can enter your life story to explore present and past areas of pain that contribute to current emotional difficulties, undesired thoughts, behaviours or relational struggles.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), I hold an MA in psychology. I have extensive trainings in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) For individuals- Level 1 & 2, EFT for Complex Trauma, EFST (Emotion Focussed Skills Training) for Parents, EFT for Couples and EFIT- Level 1) and trauma informed practices. I have worked with individuals, couples and families for over 15 years in a number of clinical settings such as brain injury rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, mental health institutions, inpatient addiction, inpatient concurrent disorders, addiction treatment centers, and group homes.
I offer in-person and telehealth services (both telephone and secure video).
I also offer supervision to therapists!
