Karen Fleming | Clinical Psychologist

I offer online therapy, including online EMDR for adults based in South Africa. I mostly provide support for difficulties related to work and relationship stress, anxiety and trauma. The focus is on shifting out of unhelpful patterns and realigning with empowered wellbeing. For the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, I primarily make use of a skills based approach called Metacognitive Therapy (MCT). I am a certified EMDR practitioner, a helpful approach for the processing of trauma. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches, depending on the specific needs of the client. I have a particular interest in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment for trauma recognized by international guidelines (WHO, APA, NICE (UK). I also have a strong interest in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT): a body-calming, self-applied method with promising research for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.
