Consultant Psychiatrist & Senior Trauma Therapist Internal Family Systems (IFS) Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
I am a deeply passionate trauma therapist (and a psychiatrist) with over 23 years of experience in the field of mental health and complex trauma. I have been an EMDR therapist for decades before I decided to focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I have a high regard for both IFS and EMDR, as I view them to be one of the most respectful and transformational approaches that I have come across.
IFS brings transformational shifts in clients and works at all levels of the psyche releasing personal, legacy, and spiritual burdens. It helps clients access their core sense of Self, a deep essence of compassion and expansion that is within all of us.
I work with many mental health difficulties with no exclusions at all. Few examples are:
Depression, existential crisis
Anxiety, panic attacks, fears, specific phobias, social anxieties
“I came to Millia for support when I was going through an significant and unexpected crisis with my mental health, largely triggered by an extended period of stress and some health challenges. I had already explored CBT and other talking therapies in the past and didn’t feel that was something I wanted to revisit. The beauty of EMDR and IFS for me is that it allows you to explore the issues in a safe space as they arise. Millia was very supportive and professional, and I found the therapy very beneficial”
“I have struggled with complicated grief for 18 years which had a debilitating effect on my ability to fully function.I had been prescribed various types of anti-depressants and had undergone a number of counselling sessions, all with little positive effect.I began sessions with Dr Millia Begum & the support & treatments I received has really helped me, something I didn’t think would ever happen for me. Her approach, methodology and manner were exactly what I needed to finally start to heal. I would fully recommend Dr Begum to anyone who is in need of support. She’s amazing.”
“Dr Millia not only listened to my concerns but explained the reason I was having those concerns. She highlighted precise reasons I could be having issues because of and how to manage them. Thank you for the session. I would highly recommend her.”
“I am so grateful to Millia. I made more progress with her than with any other therapist, largely due to her vast experience and knowledge of different therapeutic approaches. Warm and compassionate, Millia creates an environment where you feel truly seen and heard. I still have work to do but in my day-to-day life I am changed. She has given me the awareness and tools to feel safer in the world. I cannot express enough how life-changing that has been. Thank you.”
