ABOUT US

At Ease Psychology aims to create a calming, welcoming feel as soon as you enter the practice.

Our values are centred around compassion, a deep understanding of people’s life patterns, the meaning they make from their stories, and the impact of intergenerational trauma and collective hurts - not only the individual.

The founder, Dr Belinda Barnes, has a professional and personal passion in trauma-informed therapies, including body-based psychology, EMDR, resource therapy, the structural dissociation model or “parts” work, and somatic-based approaches.  

Belinda is also a yoga teacher in her spare time, and has been inspired by the work of many great trauma therapists including Arielle Schwartz, Byron Katie, Bessel van der Kolk, and Richard Schwartz to name a few.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You will be guided through the initial phase of therapy with lots of questions and enquiry about your emotional state and the meaning you have made from your life. Your psychologist will collaboratively plan what your therapy is going to look like following this, with a focus on what will get the most relief for you, being the centre of the formulation.

Therapy can be emotional, confronting and deeply healing; however, you can decide each step along the way how deep you want to go, what is working and what isn't, and how often you wish to attend.

We strongly encourage feedback and love to gain a personal understanding of your individual needs and experiences in the therapy room.
