Welcome to
"With the right type of support I believe every person has the ability to achieve change! Feeling connected to others enables better decision making, creates higher self-esteem, improves self-confidence and it generates a sense of belonging. Healthy relationships are important for all people throughout their lifespan and are at the base of everything people need in order to live a meaningful life. That is why I offer a genuine and caring approach which sets the foundation of my psychotherapy practice. I strive to provide a therapeutic environment in which you will feel safe in order to build a relationship that is needed to help you to overcome your difficulties."
- Linda van Leeuwen (AMHSW) founder of Mending Memories
Hello! Welcome to Mending Memories!
Everyone can use a little bit of support sometimes. If you are looking for therapy or counselling and you are interested in healing (rather than just managing) your mental health, keep reading on the following pages.
At Mending Memories, we specialise in EMDR therapy for individuals (16+) with any type of mental health challenge.
EMDR therapy is particularly good for people who are experiencing difficulties with symptoms of anxiety (including panic & phobias), depression, acute & chronic stress & overwhelm, (structural) dissociation & DID, emotion regulation & anger, grief & loss, (complex) trauma, (C-)PTSD, parenting / relationship issues and low self-esteem & self-confidence.
Our vision is for everyone to walk away from EMDR therapy feeling FREE. Free from stress, free from pain, free from worries, free from the darkness, free from whatever it was that made you feel stuck. Can you imagine a life where you feel at peace? It's our promise that it can work for you too!
We are a Neurodiverse affirming, LGBTQIA+ welcoming, DV & trauma-informed practice who welcomes anyone from the age of 16+.
No matter what difficulties you experience, we are 100% confident that EMDR therapy can help you heal once and for all!
