RUBINA COUNSELLING

Online Emotional Freedom Counselling

We offer an online space where we work with you at your own pace, usually as weekly sessions. If desirable and possible, we also offer the possibility of working intensively over several days, creating a “retreat” environment in your own home.

Based on over 25 years experience, we can confidently offer you help with childhood trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

The sessions may include a flexible combination of counselling, relaxation and visualisation, learning in practice emotional release and new ways of thinking, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).

Whoever you are, you are welcome.

Some reviews:

“Hey Lucas, just wanted to share an experience I had whilst watching tv yesterday. Something usually triggering came up during the show, and I was waiting for my body to go into panic mode (heart racing, wanting to turn it off etc) and nothing happened. I was able to continue watching the show as normal. I didn’t think this was ever going to be possible and wanted to thank you for helping me to get to this point.”

[A few days later, she added the following:]

“The issues that came up in my tv show the other day are still showing and I just can’t believe my own reaction! I empathise with the character but that’s as far as it goes. You have worked true magic and I feel free to enjoy life.”

“I know things will happen but feel pretty confident in the tools that you have given me (welcome and release, relaxation).”

“I did an online retreat with Sarah and Lucas over the space of a week and a half.

Sarah and Lucas always met me with kindness, warmth and acceptance. Their way of working is flexible and was very focused around my individual wants and needs and my schedule. I loved exploring the creativity that was part of the exercises I did during the retreat. I would go off and work on this by myself and send photos back to them to discuss at the next session.

A session on Thinking Strategies with Lucas was interesting and insightful.

A PTSD session with Sarah allowed me to properly process memories of a traumatic relationship, memories that had been clouding over everything for me over the last five years. I had not been able to process these with my person-centred counsellor who I’d been speaking to regularly for two years, because talking about it made me feel worse, not better. Sarah got me into a relaxed state and the practice involved looking at myself looking at the memories. Immediately after the session, I could feel that something had shifted in me. I feel as if I have moved beyond these memories and that they will not affect me as much as they have in the past. For that, I am very grateful.

I highly recommend doing an online retreat with Sarah and Lucas – I very much doubt you will regret it!”

“Sarah and Lucas hosted a 3 day retreat online for me and what a wonderful, transformational experience. I felt instantly comfortable and supported by them from the moment we started to chat [using online video], and throughout the 3 days it was a great comfort to know Sarah and Lucas were available anytime to talk or support as I needed.

I really enjoyed the mix of the online sessions which included helpful activities, and also the time I had myself to reflect and explore different aspects of my thoughts and emotions. It was quite amazing how I felt my energy shifting even although we were far apart. The sessions were fun, interactive and thought provoking.

During this time of uncertainty I can’t thank Sarah and Lucas enough for hosting a special space for me to connect to myself again and refocus my energy. Thank you so much xx”

“(…) her ability to know really well how a person feels, several times I have been very grateful to her as we talk through a situation or problem that I have been dealing with, and always I find a new insight.”

“(…) find a new and positive way to deal with the many stresses of city life. And to help me find my identity too!…”

“The word retreat has connotations of withdrawal, hiding away, even losing or giving up in the face of defeat. [With Sarah] to retreat is to repeatedly treat myself – to care, healing, comfort, empowerment and peace – with the warmth, wisdom, loving kindness and skills of therapist Sarah.”

“My deepest gratitude for holding space where I could be authentic, dig deep and find stillness and radiance.”

“Sarah is a great person, a friend, a counsellor, a mother… and helps so many people who come here to find themselves. […] This is a place of gentle, natural transformations, a space away from the madness of everyday life where I find peace, inspiration, hope, love & most importantly a sense of who we are.”
