I would encourage anyone enduring longterm health conditions to give EMDR & CBT a go. Come along with an open mind and it will have such a positive impact on helping you to regain control of your health condition, leaving you feeling positve, assertive and able to look at your situation, embracing the challenges, with a positive perspective

I had around 16 sessions with Shikainah who specialised in EMDR therapy that I required due to my diagnosis of C-PTSD. The NHS was going to be a minimum of 9 months waiting list... Although the therapy isn't cheap, it is worth every penny, especially for its intricate and effective impact. The first session was incredibly informative and really helped me to understand what EMDR was, how it worked both in practice and psychologically, and then during the sessions I felt at ease and supported throughout the course of therapy. I didn't anticipate how much of an incredible impact the course has had, my sleep, reduced nightmares, general relaxation and reduced feelings of threat have been a welcomed benefit to my life. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you, Shikainah.

Where to start?

I can not recommend Shikainah and her services highly enough. Before attending her sessions I was in a place where I was struggling to see my future being positive. She helped me make sense of my past and guided me towards a more successful future. I not only benefited from the sessions immediately but I now feel equipped for anything that may prove a test in the future. I’ve got a better understanding of my mind and how to tackle future problems. If you are in a place where you feel like seeking help, there is no one I would trust more with my vulnerabilities than shikainah.

Would recommend to anyone suffering with traumatic experiences and PTSD. Shikainah coached me through the process of EMDR, which I found extremely helpful at relieving my symptoms while making me feel so much stronger as a person. She was incredibly friendly and understanding while being very professional.

Shikainah has supported my rehabilitation for over a year,
She has taken me through sessions of EMDR to build my confidence after a life threatening cycle accident. Working
on EMDR exercises and insight training I have come through some very dark times. I am very pleased to say that EMDR with Shikainah has benefitted my overall recovery enormously.

My daughter had CBT and EMDR therapy with Shikainah for several months to treat OCD. The therapy was very effective in managing this condition and as a result her anxiety is now under control. Shikainah taught my daughter how to be her own therapist so that she has the skills necessary to manage her condition for the long term. Shikainah is kind, sensitive, sympathetic and very knowledgeable. My daughter had complete trust in her and felt she could express herself freely without fear of judgement or embarrassment. I would not hesitate to recommend Shikainah.

I had EMDR therapy over a period of about 5 months to treat my anxiety due to a few car accidents. Having never heard of EMDR I wasn't sure what to expect but I can confidently say that it has worked and I have seen a huge improvement in myself thanks to Shikainah's help. Would definitely recommend to others that are struggling!

I cant thank Shikainah enough for all her help and support with me through my treatments. After 10 sessions I feel so much more like myself and that's a huge thank you to Shikainah.

I would highly recommend EMDR sessions for anyone suffering with PTSD.

I know the door is always open for any help I need.

Thank you again for being so kind and patient with me x
