Welcome to Ghita Therapy
Ghita Andersen: "I love the process of counselling because I have seen so many miracles from methods such as EMDR, NLP, Person Centred Therapy and CBT. So often clients come to me after years of seeking psychotherapy and they say, 'I wish I had have found you earlier.'"
Everyday people turn to counselling and therapy when they need support, or are at a crossroads in their lives. Our lives have changed in sudden and surprising ways in the last few years. It is easy to feel like things are out of control and we’re powerless to control our own lives. But we’re not... Counsellors are here to help us navigate the bumpy roads, and unlike psychiatry, clients only need to attend sessions for as long as they feel they need to.

Individual Counselling
Tell me Your Story
In today's world, social networks are shrinking. The number of people who report having no intimate friends is increasing. Simple eye contact, along with a caring "tell me your story," can go a long way toward diminishing someone's feelings of alienation and aloneness. Counselling provides the chance to talk things through, very often relieving emotional pressure, clearing the way for people to focus and decide what to do next. Just like you seek advice from a doctor for health issues, a counsellor can help to give you powerful tools for better decision making and improved mental health.
Let's Chat Over a Cuppa...
Counselling is a form of 'talk therapy' where you talk in a safe, confidential space with a counsellor about the issues you are facing in your life. Counselling can provide a sense of direction and a greater ability to achieve goals. Just like you seek advice from a doctor for health issues, a counsellor can help to give you tools for better decision making and improved mental health.
Transformational Methods:
Individual Counselling (Person Centred and Solution Focused) for Anxiety and Depression, Men's Issues, Women's Issues, Grief Counselling, Teen Counselling, Anger Management, Emotional Regulation Techniques, EMDR for PTSD, Life Coaching for Self Development, Neuro-Linguistic Programming: Submodalities and Time Line Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Marriage Counselling, Art Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Family Dispute Resolution, Narrative Therapy, Phobia Treatment, etc.
Filling up Your Cup
In this modern age, it is easy to neglect self care like you are pouring from an empty cup. If you are constantly juggling work, kids, family, finances, and more, you’ll quickly end up burnt out – with less in your emotional cup. An empty cup means your ability to care for others will be non-existent when you don’t even have the time or energy to care for yourself. Sound familiar?
So, now is your chance to fill you cup up, to prioritise yourself and “make” the time to sort through some things you have been putting off. To take control of your happiness and to be heard by someone who won't judge you, but instead will encourage you to create your best life. People who come to Ghita Therapy are often ready to change and grow, and just need a little help.
If you are nervous about going to counselling, don't be. It is a life changer! Ghita is a walking, talking advertisement for counselling and coaching herself. For every person who is transformed by these methods, there is a village or community that is also changed by a person being better, kinder, less angry and more loving. There are many happy stories.

EMDR for PTSD
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of only two therapeutic interventions recommended by the World Health Organisation for the treatment of PTSD. EMDR therapy is increasingly also used for the treatment of other anxiety-based disorders.
If you are one of those people who has experienced repeated traumas, particularly in childhood, leading to a struggle with anxiety, depression, phobias. poor sleep or panic attacks in adult life, then it may be that you cannot understand why you’re reacting in this way now, when it’s all over and in the past, especially when you’ve been so capable or resourceful in your adult life.

★★★★★ Testimonial via text 2024: PTSD Treatment with EDMR and NLP: Hi Ghita, I reflected on that memory that we worked on and it has definitely changed. It feels brighter and I don't get that feeling in my chest. I get the memory of my 4th birthday every time I think of that night in Afghanistan. Charlie (Veteran) - Labrador

Time Line Therapy (NLP): Case Study:
Kim had authority issues but did not know why she struggled with bosses and people of authority. We went back to the age of four and released a negative emotion attached to a memory. Now Kim does not struggle with the bosses at work or feel squashed and unheard.
Like Kim, all of your experiences are recorded in your unconscious mind and affect your current situation in life. Time Line Therapy® (a method of NLP) detaches you from the negative emotions anchored to these past events, so all that's left are the lessons you learnt to guide you in making the right choices and decisions in the days to come.

★★★★★ Testimonial 2024: Time Line Therapy: Hello Ghita, I have to say that it has really assisted me in so many ways. It is / has been life changing and would love to share how you have assisted me in regaining my power! I can say with those small, but oh so effective tools of reframing has made changes in my body language when meeting with those in authority, so when I would have displayed a closed or defensive persona, I now display confidence, a smile and a surety of myself. I am so very grateful to you and what you have safely walked me through! I appreciate you. Regards, Kim
