Ericka Fitzgerald is dedicated to creating a safe and collaborative space for clients to explore and overcome challenges.  With an Honours Degree in Psychotherapy from PCI College and Middlesex University, Ericka has been practicing as a therapist since 2017.

 

Drawing from her diverse background, Ericka facilitates collaborative therapy through integrative styles. Her core development in humanistic counseling, combined with specialised training in psychodynamic therapy, forms the foundation of her work. Ericka prioritizes safety and empathy, believing the client-therapist relationship is paramount for a secure and trusting working space.

 

Ericka is not only an accredited psychotherapist but also a dedicated EMDR specialist. Her approach to EMDR is straightforward, aiming to get to the root of the problem while prioritizing safety in the therapeutic room. EMDR, a non-traditional form of therapy, swiftly breaks down paralyzing connections to feelings and (core) beliefs, leading to transformative life changes. Sessions, approximately 60 minutes in duration, involve pauses for processing and integration, often incorporating techniques from Ericka’s integrative styles. Collaboratively, clients and Ericka develop coping strategies for daily life.

 

Ericka has extensive experience addressing a variety of presenting issues, including trauma, relationship dynamics, bereavement, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, family breakup, loss, and change. At the heart of her approach lies a commitment to safety and non-judgment, expressed through kindness, empathy, and compassion.

 

Ericka’s therapeutic environment is characterized by its safety and non-judgment. She encourages clients to present their issues without critique and works with them to find solutions at their own pace. Ericka values creating a space where clients can explore distress without fear of judgment.

 

Ericka remains dedicated to her professional growth through ongoing CPD. Her additional training includes expertise in trauma, somatic movement, mindfulness, compassion for self-esteem issues, understanding the influence of social media on social anxiety, working with suicide intervention, understanding and exploring neurodivergence, and ADHD.

 

Ericka Fitzgerald is committed to guiding individuals through their unique journeys, offering a supportive and compassionate space for healing and personal development.
