TESSA VEGELIN
PSYCHOLOGIST Tessa is a caring and holistic psychologist and EMDR Accredited Practitioner who mainly sees clients (10+ years of age) with trauma symptoms, or symptoms related to adverse (childhood) events. She is particularly passionate about working with what her clients have often described as a “life-changing” treatment: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
Tessa believes that being disconnected from ourselves, or from others around us (detachment) is what causes most mental health challenges. Using a holistic approach means that Tessa appreciates that the body, mind and spirit are connected and that through understanding the purpose of certain symptoms, it is easier to find an effective course of treatment that will have long-term benefits. In other words: she prefers a strategic approach over a tactical approach.
Working holistically often involves working with other health modalities, such as integrative medicine, chiropractic care, traditional Chinese medicine (incl. acupuncture), naturopathy, hypnotherapy and psychiatry. Through this integrated process, her clients tend to enjoy new levels of hope, inspiration and empowerment.
