Dr. Sonia Borghino provides therapy to individuals facing a wide range of psychological difficulties, from mild to severe. Specialising in trauma assessment and treatment, she works with clients dealing with emotional challenges, particularly those influenced by childhood trauma. Dr. Borghino integrates evidence-based therapeutic approaches and utilises various therapy techniques tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. She offers a unique approach to health and wellness, considering how trauma impacts the brain, body, and nervous system. Additionally, Dr. Borghino incorporates neurofeedback and body biofeedback technology to help the brain and body better self-regulate and heal naturally, with or without medication, and with reduced reliance on medication.
EMDR
Dr. Borghino has completed specialist training in EMDR. This therapy is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective and evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). EMDR helps with psychological difficulties arising from traumatic experiences such as military combat, torture, violent assault, road traffic accidents, natural or man-made disasters, sexual abuse, and childhood neglect. EMDR has also been found to be an effective treatment for symptoms such as anxiety-related disorders, panic disorder, phobias, self-esteem issues, and other.
Schema Therapy
As a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, Dr. Borghino has also received specialised training in Schema Therapy in NYC with the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST), where she trained with Dr. Jeffrey Young Founder of Schema Therapy, and the Director of the Schema Therapy and Cognitive Therapy Institutes of New York. Schema Therapy blends the best aspects of cognitive-behavioural, experiential, interpersonal, and psychoanalytic therapies into one unified model. Schema Therapy has shown excellent results in helping people overcome their life traps and change maladaptive life patterns (schemas) that are resistant to change. Schema therapy is particularly effective for clients who have not responded to previous therapy, addressing issues such as self-esteem, self-destructive behaviours, interpersonal difficulties, personality disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
CBT
Dr. Borghino uses CBT on a group and individual basis to support clients in developing healthy coping strategies and help them master and manage negative thoughts. This can help with symptoms including anxiety, depression, panic and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and psychosis. Mindfulness practices are used to manage rumination, negative self-talk and anxiety.
