Adam Draper
Online Psychological Therapist.
Specialising in recovery from depression, anxiety, shame, stress, burnout, and trauma.
Delivering Online Psychological Therapy for the Challenges of Being Human.
I’m Adam (they/them) and I am a
Somatic EMDR and Schema Therapist.
I listen and help people to understand,
manage and
change their life using a wide range of psychological therapies.
I work mainly with depression, anxiety, anger, shame, stress/burnout and trauma.
How I Work.
I work with the relationship between us and what emerges as we speak, verbally and non-verbally.
Additionally, I use Cognitive (thought/imagery brain based) and Somatic (body and nervous system based) approaches to enhance the process of healing.
In this way I work with all parts of you, past, present and future, not just the part of you that’s currently overthinking and over feeling.
Who I Work With.
Many, (but not all) of the people I work with have long term health challenges and come from the LGBTQIA+ communities. They may also be autistic, and/or neurodivergent.
Additionally, I work a lot with people who have survived emotionally immature/narcissistic/toxic parenting.
I work mainly with depression, anxiety, anger, shame, stress/burnout and trauma.
