Lia Ranson

I work from relational, systemic and strength-based perspectives and integrate attachment and trauma theories and techniques including Polyvagal-Informed Therapies (including the safe and sound protocol), EMDR, Parts Work (informed by a flexible integration of structural dissociation theory, internal family systems, ego state therapy and schema therapy), Circle of Security Parenting and body-based approaches including Deep Brain Reorienting, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for trauma, Emotional Freedom Techniques and Trauma Sensitive Yoga.
