WELCOME
I am a trauma-trained psychotherapist with a Master's in Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy and over 13 years of experience. My work is dedicated to those who feel different — those who don’t quite fit in, who see the world through a unique lens, or who carry a sense of not belonging.
​
If you’ve ever felt out of place or struggled to embrace your true self, I aim to offer a space where you can reconnect with what makes you unique, discovering new ways to express your creativity and authenticity.

WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE ENERGY PSYCHOTHERAPY?
This is a therapy that blends:
​
-
mindful talking therapy,
-
guided imagery,
-
somatic interventions,
-
and energy psychotherapy tools
Alda's approach is trauma-informed, thoughtfully incorporating some of the latest research in trauma treatment.
​
Energy psychotherapy incorporates muscle testing, a technique derived from kinesiology, to ensure a well-balanced therapeutic process. Muscle testing allows your body to communicate its needs for healing and identify the most effective treatment approach at any given moment. Muscle testing isn't an absolute truth, but it can serve as a helpful "second opinion" to guide what to explore and how to approach your healing journey.
In energy psychotherapy, you will use various energy tools:
-
tapping to stimulate acupoints;
-
placing your hands on energy centres to clear the traumas stored in them;
-
harness the power of presence and intention through mindfulness.
-
breathing techniques to calm down your nervous system;
-
guided visualisations to access deeper insights.
Depending on your preferences and muscle testing, Alda tailors the approach to suit your needs. As an experienced therapist, Alda is committed to adapting your sessions to ensure the best possible fit for your healing journey.
​
TRAUMA THERAPY
​
Somatic interventions are recognised as one of the most effective approach for treating trauma. Energy psychotherapy, a somatic cognitive method, addresses trauma, anxiety, and other challenges. Your body holds a wealth of healing knowledge, consistently communicating with you. Through practice, you'll learn to listen to your body, and embrace your intuition to confidently navigate life's journey.
​
If energy psychotherapy doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, don’t be discouraged. You can still work with Alda, who has trained in trauma therapy under the guidance of various experts in the field. She will be able to tailor sessions to your unique needs, helping you feel at ease and in control of your healing journey.
