Where healing meets possibilities
Step into a weekend of healing, reflection, and reconnection. Our trauma-informed therapy retreat is designed to help you pause, listen inwardly, and make space for meaningful change.
How we can help
At Hampton Therapy, our retreats are designed to offer transformative healing through the integration of EMDR and creative therapy. We provide a safe, nurturing space where individuals can reconnect with themselves, process trauma, and rediscover resilience. Through evidence-based practices and expressive modalities, we empower participants to move beyond survival and into a life of authenticity, creativity, and emotional freedom.
EMDR Therapy
A powerful therapeutic approach that helps the mind heal from distressing experiences such as trauma, anxiety, and burnout. EMDR therapy utilises your brain's natural coping mechanisms to help you process difficult memories and move towards emotional freedom.
Creative Psychotherapy
For when words feel limiting, this approach integrates creative expression with therapy to explore your inner world. It is a powerful way to unlock emotions, foster self-awareness, and find empowerment in your healing, with no artistic skill needed.
Release and Renew
Step into a weekend of healing, reflection, and reconnection. Release and Renew is a trauma-informed therapy retreat designed to help you pause, listen inwardly, and make space for meaningful change. Whether you're new to therapy or continuing your journey, this experience meets you exactly where you are.
