EMDR Focus Therapist Directory

Words to come

I offer a warm, perceptive, and sensitive therapeutic approach, moving at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to create a nurturing space that supports growth, integration, and healing.

I specialise in working with complexity, using evidence-based, trauma-focused interventions. I have extensive experience as a research therapist on various psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials. Alongside this, I work in private practice as a therapist and clinical supervisor, and I am also an independent researcher and author.

Currently, I am undertaking a PhD with Brighton and Sussex Medical School. My special interests include exploring the unfolding potential of EMDR as a scalable, trauma-focused psychedelic-assisted therapy. I hold a diploma in psychedelic-assisted therapy from the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy.

Outside of my professional life, I’m a beekeeper and a mother, with a deep appreciation for the healing properties of the natural world.

If you’d like to know more about how I work, to see whether I might be the right therapist for you, or to check my availability, I warmly invite you to get in touch. All points of contact are completely confidential.

I am a passionate, accredited integrative psychotherapist offering EMDR to adults.

I believe that no one person is the same, so my therapeutic approach will differ in order to meet each individual person where they are at in their life.

I offer integrative and psychodynamic counselling in Ely for children, adolescents and adults, providing therapeutic support in a safe environment to enable you and your family members to build sustainable skills and emotional resilience to live a better happier life.

I also integrate EMDR into my practice as well as stand-alone sessions with adults in Ely at my practice and online.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and compassionate space where you can talk freely about any difficulties you may be facing. You might be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed - and need support. I provide a consistent and supportive environment to help you to reflect, make decisions, and explore the changes you feel will help you move forward in life.

I work collaboratively with my clients to build a trusting relationship, where you can safely explore what’s troubling you—at your own pace.

Based in Brighton, I offer Online Counselling and Psychotherapy, specialising in EMDR Therapy (including Attachment Informed EMDR).

I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. I am a Senior Accredited member of both the BACP and NCPS, and my work aligns with Column C of the SCoPEd framework, reflecting advanced competencies and practice standards.

You are not alone in what you’re going through. I offer a safe, caring, and confidential space where you can talk, reflect, and grow. As an attentive and empathic listener, I’m here to support you through whatever challenges you're facing.

With over 36 years of experience as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, my passion has always been rooted in supporting others on their journey toward healing and growth.

Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and with a wide range of challenges, which has deepened my understanding, compassion, and respect for each individual’s unique story.

As a CBT therapist, EMDR practitioner, and IFS Level One therapist, I am committed to offering evidence-based approaches that empower individuals to overcome difficulties, break free from unhelpful patterns, and build lasting resilience.

Alongside these therapeutic skills, my training as a yoga teacher enables me to integrate mind–body practices that support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and inner balance. I believe strongly in a holistic approach to mental health, where people are supported not only in addressing their struggles but also in reconnecting with their strengths and potential.

Helping others find hope, balance, and self-compassion is not just my profession—it is my life’s calling.

I feel privileged to walk alongside people as they process their pain, explore new perspectives, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My aim is always to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where individuals feel truly heard and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

I'm a qualified and accredited UKCP Integrative Psychotherapist, BACP member, and EMDR therapist with Level 2 Deep Brain Reorienting training.

I completed my training journey at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) in London (same college as Mark and Jutta), with additional advanced trainings in EMDR, somatic therapies, trauma, and complex trauma.

I bring together a variety of approaches and techniques tailored specifically to the unique needs of each individual I work with. With extensive experience both in private practice and clinical settings, I have supported clients facing complex trauma, dissociation, addiction, anxiety, stress, bereavement, grief, chronic illness, and depression.

In therapy, I am fully present and work from the heart, holding a space of honesty, openness, and integrity.

I welcome exploration of whatever is emerging for the client, being patient and creative in our collaborative work. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and contained environment where all feelings and challenges can be openly expressed.

I offer my therapy sessions both in English and Italian, conducted online to ensure accessibility and convenience. My work requires consistent commitment and honesty, creating the conditions for genuine transformation and healing.

Alongside my therapy practice, I am an experienced supervisor, offering individual and group supervision grounded in compassion and reflective inquiry.

I’m Jordan, a CBT and EMDR therapist with over a decade of experience in mental health. My background as a mental health nurse and therapist in the NHS and MOD gave me the privilege of working with people facing complex challenges, and for the last few years I’ve been supporting clients in private practice.

I work in an attachment-informed way, as I’ve found this creates the deepest and most lasting results for clients. My practice has a particular focus on women’s mental health - including PMDD, pre- and postnatal experiences, and perimenopause - as well as the overwhelm that so often comes with perfectionism, burnout, and big life changes. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering - not clinical or one-sided. My approach is gentle, transparent, and always tailored to the person in front of me.

Alongside helping clients process past trauma, I’m passionate about guiding people towards living in a way that feels authentic and sustainable - slowing down, simplifying, and finding confidence in who they truly are. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and able to move forward with more clarity and ease.

As a therapist, I firmly believe that change is possible. Using scientifically proven methods such as EMDR and modern hypnoanalysis, I will help you to change your life for the better.

My experience in international therapy centres and further training with successful therapists has shown me that even long-standing problems can be solved.

I know that it takes courage to face your problems. But it often doesn’t get better if you don’t do anything.

Trust and a good relationship with the therapist are the key to successful therapy. That’s why I offer you a free introductory call.

I offer my therapy both online worldwide and on-site in Dresden, in German or English.

I have worked for over 30 years with people experiencing emotional difficulties or distress.  I work with adults, young people, and children.

I specialise in the assessment and treatment of complex trauma or Complex PTSD (CPTSD) following difficult or abusive childhood and adult experiences.

Hello!

I’m a certified EMDR therapist and Consultant, dedicated to helping you move beyond the lingering effects of trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories.

As an attachment-informed therapist, I integrate two well-established frameworks—attachment theory and the EMDR protocol—to explore how early relational patterns influence the way traumatic memories are stored, triggered, and processed.

I’ll guide you through a safe, structured, client-centred process designed to rewire how painful experiences are held in the brain. Whether you’re coping with past trauma, phobias, panic attacks, or the emotional fallout of stressful life events, my aim is to create a supportive space where you can regain control, reduce emotional intensity, and restore a sense of calm and confidence.

Each session is tailored to your unique history and goals, ensuring the therapeutic journey feels empowering and respectful of your pace. By integrating mindfulness, grounding techniques, and ongoing psychoeducation, I help you build lasting resilience and develop practical tools for everyday life.

If you’re ready to transform distress into growth and reclaim your narrative, let’s embark on this healing path together.

For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through life’s most difficult challenges.

In recent years, my work has become more focused on EMDR and attachment-informed therapy, which can be deeply healing for those who grew up with painful breaks in trust or connection. This approach gently helps the mind and body release the weight of old wounds, making space for freedom, safety, and a renewed sense of self.

I feel continually inspired by the strength I see in the people I work with, and I’m passionate about the change EMDR can bring.

I also have the honour of providing EMDR to members of our emergency services, who often carry unique and heavy burdens.

Whether you’re seeking to heal from the past or simply wanting to feel more whole and at peace, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and compassion.

I'm an experienced Gestalt psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner specialising in trauma, especially of the childhood variety.

I'm based mainly online, but also see clients in person in Honor Oak Park in South East London.

I work in an attuned, sensitive and embodied way, respectful of your autonomy as we connect with your own body process and safely release old patterns, stories and memories as we empower you to make more healthy, vibrant life choices.

I also work creatively combining EMDR with movement and voice to effect change through expression.

I work with parts and an Internal Family Systems informed approach.

Now full-time in private practice I have worked for Rape Crisis, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse and a workplace counselling service.

I trained at The Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education and gained an MA in Integrative Child Psychotherapy. I went on to complete a 12- month training in Jungian and Post-Jungian Sand Tray Therapy and Cultural Perspectives and a further training in EMDR with Mark Brayne.

The focus of my Arts Based Child Psychotherapy practice is on early therapeutic intervention with children and adolescents from the ages of 4-24 enabling them- and their families- to make sense of their world and to live the happiest and best lives they can. I pioneered a schools-based programme for parents called Parent Conversations, which offered practical solutions for everyday problems. I work closely with families to help strengthen the child-parent relationship and offer strategies to help with re-building communication and self-confidence.

Traumatic experiences can leave a child feeling unsafe or overwhelmed and it can be hard for them to put into words their thoughts and feelings. Using talk, play and the arts can help children discover for themselves a different perspective in respect to their problems. The child is not in therapy to be fixed and made better like a broken toy but can, by using their own verbal or non-verbal language, enhance both their physical and mental wellbeing. My work draws on therapeutic theories as well as common sense, play and humour.

I have three children, a granddaughter, and two dogs, Dante and Jazz, who offer warm support and unconditional love.

Hi, I'm Katharine Brayne, a registered EMDR Psychotherapist working online in the UK and internationally. I offer weekly, fortnightly and intensive therapy sessions for individuals and couples, helping clients explore long-standing patterns, current difficulties and future goals with warmth, clarity and compassion.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), body-based interventions, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, parts work (including internal family systems) and attachment theory. I support mind, body and emotions with a polyvagal-informed lens, helping you feel safer in yourself and in the world.

EMDR forms the foundation of my work, and while it’s widely known for treating trauma and PTSD, it’s also powerful for a wide range of issues; from anxiety and low self-esteem to relationship challenges and behavioural patterns which no longer serve them.

Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or aware that something in their life or relationships needs to change; even if they’re not yet sure what or how. I also work with those exploring deeper questions around identity, meaning, emotional resilience, or who feel affected by global uncertainty and personal or professional burnout.

Whether you’re looking to resolve trauma, strengthen self-awareness, shift old patterns, or find steadiness in the day-to-day, I offer a warm, collaborative and compassionate space to support your goals.

Therapy can be intense, but it can also be freeing, insightful and even infused with humour. I bring presence, curiosity and warmth to the therapy process, and aim to offer a space where you feel seen, safe and empowered, to not just to cope, but thrive, and to ultimately no longer 'need' therapy.

If you’re curious to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free 30-minute call to explore what’s going on for you and how we might work together, and this can be booked either via email or via my website.

After 24 years of offering therapy I have developed my practice with what I believe to be the most affective ways of working, I have also experienced extensive EMDR therapy myself, this has informed and enhanced my practice. I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and currently have a successful private practice which I have had for the past 16 years.

I work as a trauma specialist counsellor and I am passionate about trauma healing especially in the Domestic and Family Violence, sexual assault and childhood trauma (complex trauma) space.

I am an EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner and mainly work with clients using EMDR as a therapeutic approach, especially from an attachment-informed lens. I also weave in a number of other therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Clinical Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT/tapping) and somatic movements.

I seek to build authentic and collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients and endeavour at all times to work with trauma survivors in a way that is respectful and safe and supports your nervous system to feel grounded.

I started professional life as a mental health nurse, and went on to train in counselling psychology. I have worked across a range of health services, including the NHS as psychologist and manager, the third sector, a digital therapy service and the military health service. I have also taught a variety of helping professionals in higher education, and facilitated creative writing for therapeutic purposes group work, and work with the British Psychological Society to support trainee counselling psychologists.

Nowadays I work mainly in independent practice in Cambridge and prefer to work in person, but can also offer hybrid therapy (some sessions in person, some online). I participate regularly in continuing professional development and most recently trained in EMDR and attachment informed EMDR. This has transformed my practice to allow the people I work with to work through their current difficulties by processing their roots in past experience.

I am used to working adults with a variety of presenting difficulties, including depression, emotion regulation difficulties, disordered eating, interpersonal relationship problems, anxiety problems such as phobic avoidance, post-traumatic stress, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety, and social anxiety. I aim to work collaboratively and creatively with people according their individual concerns, informed by evidence based good practice.

A related interest to psychological therapies, I have studied Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes and am undertaking research in this area, and hold a master’s in creative writing from the University of Cambridge.

As a therapist who has had her own struggles with self-doubt and insecurity, I am here to guide you through the process. Offering support and understanding every step of the way.

I am experienced in using the Gottman Method, EMDR, IFS, and the Enneagram and use an integrated approach tailored to your specific needs. Together, we will work to quiet those self-doubts and help you to hear your own voice. Empowering you to make desired changes that will help you to live a more fulfilling life. Reach out today to start your journey.

With over 25 years of experience, I am a compassionate and skilled psychologist, trained in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy, High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

I work with adults (18 years and older) to help alleviate a wide range of issues, including PTSD, depression, OCD, health anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, and panic. My approach draws from my understanding of systemic therapy and attachment theory, blending these with the powerful techniques of CBT and EMDR to offer a comprehensive, individualised treatment.

I have worked in both the NHS and private sectors in the UK and South America, I have a rich clinical background that helps understand the complexities of each person's situation. Whether you are dealing with unprocessed trauma or current life challenges, I will try to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and to help you move forward in your life.

A Collaborative and Supportive Approach

I believe in building a strong partnership with clients. From the start, I will encourage you to set meaningful goals for therapy and regularly review the progress to ensure that you are on track. My aim is to create a safe space where you can feel empowered to work on your own growth, both in and out of the therapy room. Typically, therapy lasts between 12 to 20 sessions, but the length and direction of treatment are always guided by your personal needs and progress.

Fluent in English & Spanish

I offer therapy in both English and Spanish

I am an HCPC Registered and BPS Chartered Counselling Psychologist, as well as an EMDR Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner.

With 14 years of experience across voluntary, NHS, and private settings, I work with adult individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. My areas of specialism include the treatment of trauma, complex trauma, anxiety disorders, and relationship difficulties. I have a particular interest in how early attachment relationships influence people’s experiences, personality, and behaviours—especially in the way they relate to themselves and others.

I view each individual as unique and tailor treatment plans to address their specific needs, taking into account the challenges and difficulties they are currently facing, have recently encountered, or have experienced in the past. Whilst I have substantial training and extensive experience in a number of psychological therapies, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful vehicle for fostering transformation and self-growth.

Having relocated to the West coast of Scotland, I am currently offering online therapy.

I have over 20 years experience as a therapist, 12 of which I worked in the NHS.

I am an accredited CBT therapist and EMDR practitioner.

I have also trained in attachment-focused EMDR, couples therapy and IFS.

Please do get in touch.

I am a bilingual (English and Italian) Clinical Psychologist and EMDR accredited practitioner with over 20 years experience both in the NHS and privately.

I am an EMDR Consultant with over 30 years of experience as a Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Trainer.

My passion is creating safety so therapists can grow and develop their skills and knowledge, and I firmly believe we are in a process of constantly unfolding into becoming more and more our authentic selves.

I also regularly facilitate on EMDRF Focus CPD workshops.

If traditional talk therapy does not fully work for you or takes too long it is not your fault and you are not alone. You may understand the root of your issues and still continue to experience symptoms like anxiety, frustration, lack of focus, or feeling stuck because stress or traumatic experiences have caused dysregulation of your nervous system.

That is why I combine different approaches including EMDR and IFS to reprocess traumatic and stressful experiences, Polyvagal to re-train the nervous system, Somatic to address memories stored in the body, and Gottman Couples therapy to heal your relationship.

I was born in Argentina and am a Lic. Psychotherapist and EMDR Certified Clinician, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, with Level 3 Training in Gottman Couples Therapy, providing both Individual and Couples Therapy. Hablo español.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and trained ai-EMDR therapist specialise in working with adults and couples navigating the impact of childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, and neurodivergence (Autism/ADHD). I am also a trained Emotionally Focused Couples therapist and training to become an EMDR Consultant.

I am passionate about working with attachment wounds, to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself and/or your partner.

Most of my clients are men and women struggling with something in their life and relationships: an infidelity, unhealthy cycles of conflict, expressing their feelings in a healthy way, feeling alone or unappreciated. Many are high performers who are faced with a trauma or loss who suddenly found themselves struggling to cope. Through our work, they have discovered the pain they had been carrying all along underneath the achievements, processed it and have transformed their lives into something different.

It is well-known in EMDR that our painful childhood wounds, our attachment experiences, are at the heart of our difficulties as adults, even if we don't see it. Struggles with self-esteem, managing our emotions, depression, anxiety, expressing our feelings in a healthy way... all our deepest yearnings and fears are driven by our earliest experiences.

I offer a safe, compassionate space to discover, heal and grow from our past to have a better future. Let’s work together to break free from old patterns and create meaningful and lasting change.

I'm an accredited and experienced EMDR Therapist with over 45 years of experience working with people in both the NHS and private sector.

I gained my Masters Degree in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy under Dr Derrek Farrell at the University of Worcester.

Following the Masters Degree, I then trained in attachment-informed EMDR with Mark Brayne, which included intergenerational narratives/trauma and ai-EMDR with dreams.

I have also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and qualified to level 2 with IFS UK Institute. I use this evidenced-based therapy in EMDR with excellent results

I'm currently training in Compassionate Inquiry as developed by Dr Gabor Mate and Dr Sat Dharam in Vancouver, Canada.

I work with clients in a compassionate and caring way to achieve the best possible outcomes.

I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and draw on a number of theories to suit your personal therapy requirements.

We are all unique individuals and therefore I adapt the therapy to suit you.

I use both psychodynamic and attachment theory, as a basis for understanding, as neuroscience supports such an approach. I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapy, I respect and incorporate the Humanistic way of working. I use empathic attunement, authenticity and responsiveness in our therapeutic relationship.

It’s important for me to learn about who you are and understand your current issues in the context of past experiences and how you have been impacted by cultural, societal or familial pressures. I’m interested in engaging you, as your true self and working together to create a safe, authentic and vulnerable connection. This will help us explore who you are and where you come from – your personal circumstances, identities and values.

I enjoy using creative tools to help you learn more about yourself, support self-care and encourage new ways of thinking.

I also like to share books, articles and podcasts to enrich our work together and bring you in connection with shared experiences.

Over the last 14 years I worked with clients on a wide range of issues - from trauma, anxiety, phobias and midlife challenges.

I have special expertise and interest in the areas of trauma, cancer (I worked with cancer patients and their families in a cancer canter for many years) and bereavement.

I place compassion and integrity at the core of my practice and provide a safe space for my clients.

I am accredited with the British association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and EMDR Ireland and UK.

I draw from different approaches - mainly ai-EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Analytical Psychology according to C.G. Jung.

I offer my services in English and German either online or from my office in Galway (Ireland).

Please feel free to come - just as you are!

I am a qualified BACP-Accredited therapist specialising in attachment-focused and intergenerational EMDR.

I have BA in integrative counselling and Post-Graduate Diploma in CBT, as well as being trained in EMDR with more than 10 years experience.

I am an enthusiastic, multi-skilled, well-motivated, resilient, compassionate, emphatic and experienced counsellor, dedicated to providing exceptional psychological treatments to adult and teenagers.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I am a GP, psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner based in Norfolk.

Since my initial therapy training, I have been fascinated by how neuroscience and behavioural biology have made a deeper understanding of human functioning and feeling possible. My body-oriented psychotherapy training developed my understanding of the powerful connection between the body’s energy and interactions, and the mind.

My research and experience in this area is something I bring to my EMDR practice. I take an attachment-informed approach to EMDR, which has a solid neurobiological foundation. We now have a detailed understanding of how the body and mind develop and function differently under conditions of safety versus threat. Humans interact very differently, depending on whether they have learned to do so in safe or in less than safe attachment.

Attachment-informed EMDR can change this pattern.

My medical training gives me a strong foundation in understanding the processes of the body and mind, and being a GP keeps me close to life’s realities. I bring this background knowledge, my empathy and an intuition that has been developed over years of training to my therapeutic work.

I'm a Relate-trained relationship counsellor, mediator, sex therapist, sex- and love-addiction therapist as well as an EMDR Europe-accredited practitioner.

Having worked online for 14 years, I use Zoom and Bilateral Base with clients from the UK and the wider world and have a Certificate in Online Counselling.

I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, pain, fears, and other conditions and unprocessed issues from the past. VR soon to be added to facilitate healing.

I lead webinars/workshops, lecture/write books (available on Amazon & Google), covering all aspects of relationships & factors contributing to disharmony in self and relationships, for singles, couples or groups - including sex therapy, conflict management & resolution/mediation, sex/porn/love addiction (and partner) recovery.

I was previously a Solicitor.

I have spent nearly twenty years of my life as a therapist and have done a lot of work in the areas of addiction, eating disorders and trauma.

I spent my formative therapy years working on the addiction treatment programme at the Priory Hospital in London, SW15.

On the unit, and since, I have dealt with all sorts of dual diagnosis issues, PTSD and Complex PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, psychosis and all forms of eating disorders.

Since the Priory, I have had a private practice in Central London until Covid and now I work online and from Surrey, using many therapeutic modalities but mainly EMDR (eye movement desensitisation reprocessing) and mostly working with trauma. I also run a Facebook group called Trauma Thrivers and have a website which may be of interest.

As a trauma psychologist, I help people transform by helping them to heal wounds from the past. These wounds can often be held in the nervous system but not explicitly remembered.

I work primarily with Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and a Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP). I tailor my therapeutic approach according to what each individual wants to work on, integrating different approaches as appropriate.

As a counselling psychologist, as well as learning multiple psychotherapeutic approaches, my training was based on the importance of understanding an individual’s unique experience, and on how this can be explored in a therapeutic relationship. Although there are many things that shape who we are as individuals, it is, I believe, our relationships, both with ourselves and others, that often influence us most profoundly. By developing our awareness of these relationships, we can develop valuable and compassionate self-understanding. I support people to use this understanding to help them to find ways of improving the quality of their lives.

Emma is an experienced Clinical Psychologist and Accredited EMDR therapist who enjoys working collaboratively with her clients to understand their current experiences and what might be helpful to focus on going forward.

Emma works in an integrative way which draws on ideas about how we build and maintain relationships (attachment theory), how one person or context impacts on another (systemic theory) and how our own thoughts and feelings interact (cognitive behaviour theory). We would work together to make sense of what thoughts and feelings may be underlying your experiences alongside how when we feel stressed or overwhelmed, we find this more difficult to understand. Emma is trained in using Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and has found this a useful way of working with a wide variety of presenting concerns.

Attachment Informed EMDR Therapist, transpersonally trained.

Trained in EMDR in 2000. EMDR Consultant & Supervisor since 2006, Attachment-Focused EMDR facilitator since 2015.

HCPC Registered Psychologist, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, and ICEEFT Registered EFT Couples Therapist.

I offer trauma-focused, attachment-informed therapy for clients who face depression, anxiety, PTSD or complex PTSD as a result of having experienced overwhelming and/or debilitating relational life-events in the past or present.

I have extensive experience of work with young people (in a University service) and with complex trauma (in Mind).  I regularly work with people identifying as LGBT+ and in poly relationships.  My core training (process work) highlights the impact of social oppression on our mental health, our bodies and beliefs about ourselves.  

My approach is tailored to the needs of each client as they present. I work creatively integrating attachment-informed EMDR and work with parts of self. I address intergenerational trauma as well as personal history.

I work with people bringing a range of difficulties including trauma, depression, anxiety, phobia and relationship difficulties.

I experience attachment-informed EMDR as a powerful and transformative approach – changing the way that clients experience themselves, their relationships and the world around them.

I am an accredited EMDR therapist (EMDR Europe) and UKCP-registered psychotherapist.

I am an EMDR Consultant Supervisor and an Accredited Psychotherapist with over two decades of practice experience working in statutory, military, third sector organisations and in private practice. I have a wealth of experience working in organisations specialising in familial/domestic/sexual violence and abuse; cancer and life limiting health conditions; loss and complex bereavement.

I have come to appreciate that regardless of presentation, how we cope with what is happening in the present, is underpinned by how we have been affected by past adverse experiences or trauma. Even where we may not have a defined sense of a specific ‘issue or event’, many clients despite having achieved much success in an area of life, come to therapy troubled by a sense of ‘not being enough’, or feeling unlovable, an outsider, or unable to find meaning or connection or feel joy or peace within.

My experience in practice has strengthened my conviction that adverse experiences can provide the catalyst for us to heal and grow personally and spiritually. Once our innate healing potential has been liberated, our wounds become the portal to re-discovery and meaning and reconnection with our true essence, no matter the time we have nor the challenges we have endured.

As an integrative psychotherapist I work within a holistic framework, drawing from various wisdom traditions together with training from a range of trauma and body focused modalities including EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), somatic psychotherapy and creative approaches and am influenced too by story, the natural world, our interconnection and the joys and challenges gifted though my own history.

I am also very grateful to be one of the EMDR Focus facilitation team!

I am a qualified, experienced Integrative Psychotherapist accredited with IACP/BACP/IAHIP/UKCP. I am also a COSRT registered Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapist for both individuals and couples, as well as an EMDR-Accredited Consultant.

Central to my clinical practice is the importance of the therapeutic relationship, thereby creating a safe and confidential space from which a client can explore the challenges experienced in life. I am experienced in working with many different issues including trauma, relationship issues, psychosexual issues, depression, anxiety, bereavement, sexual abuse.

I am currently only working online from Dublin, Ireland

I am a EMDR and CBT accredited practitioner and have worked for over 30 years as a Psychotherapist.

I have worked in a variety of Mental Health settings within the NHS and I am now in Private Practice

I have special interests in Attachment and I am trauma informed. I also integrate compassionate approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I am LGBTQI friendly, have often worked with Minority Ethnic communities and am Skipton based.

I work with high-functioning executives and homemakers. My clients are based in Singapore, traveling through or visit especially for an EMDR Intensive.

The combination of AI-EMDR with intensives has created surprising results for clients, including loss of PTSD, anxiety and depression diagnosis and also a change in attachment styles from insecure to securely attached.

This style of working therapeutically is like Marmite. It’s really a unique preference. An intensive is conducted over a three-month period with follow-ups and the intensive days are 3-7 days depending on presentations and intended goals for treatment.

I am a British Psychotherapist who has lived half her life in Asia and half in the UK. I live here with my family and my hobbies are military style workouts, bike riding and go-kart racing when I can find time. My passion is family and work.

Hi, I started my EMDR training in 2007 but didn’t use it until I discovered Attachment-Informed EMDR when my transpersonal psychotherapy training and EMDR really came together in a way that has proved very effective for helping clients really make changes and live life well.

I have studied with Laurel Parnell, the originator of Attachment-Focused EMDR and with Mark Brayne who has brought his own ideas and enthusiasm to the Attachment work.

The Attachment work gave me the tools I needed to change the way I work and get my Accreditation as an EMDR Practitioner.

I now work in a trauma-informed way using Attachment-informed EMDR where necessary to shift early developmental trauma, as well as recent onset symptoms such as anxiety, depression, etc.

I trained as a clinical psychologist and have worked across NHS, non -profit and private settings for over 25 years.

As an independent practitioner I now work with individual clients, hold contracts with Compassion in Dying and Pathway, North London, and mentor Doctoral trainees on the Clinical Psychology Course at The University of Surrey.

Welcome – Those that seek me out usually have a tale to tell and I imagine you’re the same. I’d like to invite you to tell me about your ups and downs and all your in-betweens and all the things you’ve lost and gained. I imagine some of it might be challenging to tell and parts of it you’ve never shared with anyone else and somewhere in there; I know there is an aspect of you that just cannot find a way to move forward. I imagine you’d like to get this moving again; this is I guess is why you’re reading this and this is where I help.

I’ve learnt that if I really listen to you and in the most accepting way, your own deep insights will emerge and you’ll start to see solutions to problems and begin to experience change in your life and in a satisfying way.

I can imagine you’ve felt the way you do for some time, and hope you can begin to feel hopeful or even excited now about the possibility of change; of freeing yourself from unhelpful thoughts about yourself and the world and getting back on track. Now you know where I am all you have to do is get in touch. So lets begin….

I will work collaboratively with you, respecting your culture and background and will draw from all of my experience and the tools available to me so that we together can find the necessary approach that will enable you to move forward in positive ways giving you a more fulfilling experience of life.

What I hope to offer you as individual therapy is an approach which I want to be warm and refreshing and can quickly get to the heart of your issues. I hope to support you by providing you a range of ways to accurately match your need, in the most effective and time efficient way and in the spirit of openness and acceptance.

I want your experience of therapy to be refreshingly brief and, as far as possible, an enjoyable/rewarding experience, particularly when long standing issues might be resolved.

I will use a combination of talking therapy, standard EMDR for single incident adult trauma and also AI-EMDR to help you work through early issues in the hope of helping you to achieve personal growth and balance.

I practice from a discreet and private studio in Forest Gate , East London and you can be assured of a comfortable safe and private environment.

I am an Accredited Integrative psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner and director of Benfleet Counselling and Psychotherapy Ltd.

Working as a therapist is not only a profession for me, it is also a passion, which the spark I found in helping people is continually fuelled by the belief that everyone deserves to live their best life.

Connecting with people and assisting on the journey which helps to uncover their real self is a process which I look forward to with all of my clients.

Negative behaviour is one of the foremost indications that people are suffering inside, and without judgement I collaborate with my clients to piece together the puzzles, so we can change this.

I completed Laurel Parnell’s Attachment Focussed Therapy workshop in 2017. I have also attended Mark Brayne’s Unleash the Magic’s Attachment Informed workshops which have helped to completely transform my practice.

I have also received training in pain control with Mark Grant and I am trained in R-TEP and G-TEP by Elan Shapiro.

In addition to this I have received training in The Feeling-State Addiction protocol with Robert Miller PhD and have learnt how to use the Flash Technique with Philip Manfield.

I remain committed to developing and expanding my knowledge through continually training. This ensures that I remain up to date with innovative therapy techniques, so that I can offer a service which tailors around ongoing developments in psychotherapy. As such, this enables me to deliver ground-breaking therapy which will have long lasting results on the lives of my clients.

Living with good mental health is fundamental to our wellbeing and can have an unprecedented impact on physical health, family life, work life, and relationships. Learning how to manage stress and anxiety, as well as processing trauma are crucial steps in moving towards the life that we want to live.

Drawing on various personal experiences enables me to offer a comforting level of empathy and understanding, which helps develop a trusting and safe environment for my clients. I believe that helping people to become more self-aware, nurtures life skills which they can carry through future difficult situations that they may find themselves in.

Life is a journey, it may take many attempts to get it right, but you can never stop learning and growing as a person. Helping clients process negative beliefs about themselves by turning them into positive ones is very rewarding.

Seeing progress from being depressed, anxious and fearful to being reinvigorated with a new zest for life is a reward greater than words can describe. I have learnt a great deal from the clients I have helped, whether they have been children, young people or adults.

During the lockdown I switched my therapy services to online. Online therapy has proven highly effective, and it gives clients the emotional support and help in a manner which was safe in this pandemic. Working online enables me to connect with people from all over the UK and, even throughout the world. I have found EMDR therapy to be very effective and powerful online.

I feel very privileged to have found a career as fulfilling and rewarding as this one, and that so many people let me help them with their journeys.

I’m an accredited EMDR practitioner and a UKCP-registered Gestalt psychotherapist, with experience and expertise on a wide range of symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to highly complex personality disorders.

I work in an attachment focused-way and am interested in how attachment trauma is often at the root of a wide range of issues from relationship difficulties to compulsive behaviours and addictions.

I completed my Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology in 2010.

I am accredited with the BABCP and HCPC and since my qualification have completed EMDR training, becoming accredited in 2018.

In 2018 I also completed my part 1 of Attachment Informed EMDR, completing Part 2 in 2020. Since that that time I have completed various EMDR courses to update my knowledge and consolidate learning.

I believe in the importance of continued learning, never thinking that I have learned it all, so will always be working on this to aid the needs of my clients. I look forward to working with you.

Relational/attachment/complex trauma is just that… complex – it can leave you feeling that something is wrong with you – you might be asking yourself ..’why are all relationships just so difficult?’ . If so I can help.

I am a trained AI-EMDR therapist and also EMDR Consultant who works with complex and relational trauma. I am also an HCPC registered Counselling and Occupational (organisational) Psychologist. AI-EMDR is my primary way of working with adults. I have also been trained in Inter-generational EMDR and use this quite often – this is very transformational work.

My clients and I (I have had AI-EMDR too) have found the experience to be sometimes difficult but also once the trauma makes sense through EMDR processing then everything becomes clearer and you find that you are less triggered by stuff from your past. This means that you can truly live your life in the present no longer tied to the past traumas. If you would like to work with me online please look at my website and contact me on my email stating that you were referred through here.

I look forward to working with you – you are not alone on your journey.

My core training is as a Person-Centred Therapist and I have been practicing since since 2000.

I am a Senior BACP-accredited counsellor and an accredited EMDR Practitioner.

I have been practicing as an AF-EMDR therapist since 2018.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker in Private Practice in the Hunter Valley NSW, Australia.

I am an Accredited EMDR Consultant with EMDRAA and EMDRIA and a Clinical Resource Therapist Trainer (Advanced Ego States) and EMDR trainer.

I am passionate about EMDR, (having been an EMDR therapist since beginning of 2016) parts work and somatic work and love weaving them in together working with complex trauma.

I love Attachment Informed EMDR , Intergenerational EMDR and Dreamwork along with Resource therapy (Advanced Ego States), ACT and Earth Based Somatic work. All of which Im really passionate about.

I love providing EMDR consultation to emerging EMDR Therapists and long term EMDR Therapists.

My work is with clients with complex trauma, mostly child sexual abuse. I work with children, adolescents and adults

My clients say that I am warm, caring and someone that they feel comfortable to talk to from early on in our sessions together.

My commitment to you as a client is that I will listen to your difficulties and support you to work out and implement a plan for your recovery.

Together, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable to you to help you to become happier, more confident and more fulfilled in your life.

I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapist accredited with the BACP. I work with adult individuals and couples and offer sessions in person (West Yorkshire area), online via Zoom, or via telephone.

I have 13 years experience working as a relational and integrative therapist now mainly using IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR, in both of which I am fully qualified.

I have a particular interest in working with clients who have attachment related issues and find Attachment=-Informed EMDR to be especially helpful for those individuals who are looking to address root causes connected with past trauma, relationship problems, self esteem issues, physical symptoms with no obvious cause, anxiety, depression, habit and addictive behaviours and grief and loss.

I offer a confidential, compassionate, supportive space for exploration, understanding and healing.

I help people reclaim their lives back from trauma using EMDR and attachment focused EMDR.

I specialise in working with autistic adults.

Hello I’m Sally -and I love my work!

I’m an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and an experienced trauma -informed Integrative Psychotherapist, and my style and focus is to support you in a warm, empathic and constructive way, so you get the most out of your sessions with me.

My specialist training, and personal style of AI- EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), is incredibly effective in helping you free yourself from emotional pain and complex struggles. This provides a springboard to live with more authenticity, freedom and self respect. In fact many of my clients feel they have ‘come alive’ which is wonderful to witness!

AI-EMDR can have a very profound outcome on your life as we both discover, make sense of, and heal the past which can be so triggering and painfully limiting in the present. The lovely thing is that because those changes come from within, they stay, and can be built on further.

IFS ( alongside AI- EMDR) is so helpful in identifying parts or aspects of the self that can get activated and allow awareness, growth and integration.

My experience both personally and professionally, is that this combined approach is incredibly transforming and life changing.

By now, you probably are aware of my belief and enthusiasm in this way of working ! If you would like to talk further, I offer a free 20 minute online consultation to ask me any questions, talk about your options, and to see if we are a good match.

I look forward to meeting you….

Please see my website for further information about me.

As a therapist working in the NHS, for Relate and in private practice I noticed that there was something I just couldn’t help my clients with. I could support people to change their relationships or their work and often that helps people in the here and now. Often they would make the changes and then say, “Armele, I’ve made these changes I want, but I still feel scared and unsettled. I don’t feel myself.”

Once I learned about how helpful EMDR could be I’d been feeling increasingly frustrated with having to refer some clients to other therapists to have EMDR therapy and so I decided to train in this technique, and it’s been so rewarding to work with people in this way. It feels like I’ve added the missing piece of the jigsaw

I am an accredited EMDR Practitioner (since 2023) and an experienced counsellor (since 2007). I have over 17 years of experience working with people from all walks of life, with all kinds or difficulties. I work with warmth and compassion and use my skills in EMDR and therapy to support clients to reprocess their traumas, build new resources, learn emotional regulation and form more supportive attachments.

In particular, I am experienced supporting clients with PTSD, CPTSD and, those who come for therapy to reprocess childhood neglect, abuse, sexual traumas, relationship/communication challenges, bereavements, depression, anxiety, work relationships, transitions, medical traumas, medical conditions, work related stress and OCD. More recently, I am working with clients who have ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Condition and Dyslexia and the sessions are adjusted according to individual processing levels. I am also interested in social oppressions and discriminations (e.g. racism, misogyny, poverty) and how these traumas can be worked through.

My core trainings include a First Class Honours Degree in Psychology (2002) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling (2007). My theoretical frameworks include Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic theory, Person-Centred theory and CBT.

Over the years, I have also completed shorter trainings/workshops in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and more recently in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Hence, I have a broad range of skills, experience and understandings to draw upon to support clients to change.

I use a lot of practical strategies, working memory tasks and guided imagery to ensure clients have a wealth of tools and strategies they can use in-between sessions to keep emotionally grounded.

Please do get in touch. I offer a 20 minute video call (no charge) to see if we may be a good enough therapeutic team.

Hello, I’m Beverley (Bea for short) and I am an Accredited EMDR Practitioner, CBT Therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse by background.

If you are looking for a structured, proactive, teamwork approach to therapy with clear therapy goals set from the outset, I may be the therapist for you. I offer short to medium term therapy usually up to 40 sessions (approx. 8 months duration) in any one block of treatment. As we go along, we’ll undertake regular reviews of how well the therapy is progressing for you.

I have expertise working with excessive worry which may take the form of obsessions and compulsions, generalised anxiety, or social anxiety for example. I particularly enjoy helping clients work within themselves and within their relationships to set healthy boundaries, drawing upon the latest neurobiology studies in this area.

My therapeutic style is warm whilst direct, creative, upbeat, and collaborative. In my work with clients, I seek to embody my values of honesty, curiosity, compassion, and assertiveness. I like to use metaphors, imagery, and analogies in my work with clients as this can make the concepts more understandable & bring therapy alive. I often say to clients, like the Nirvana song, ‘come as you are’ and I’ll meet you where you’re at.

I am very passionate about my work, have witnessed hundreds of clients make meaningful changes to their lives and greatly benefit from using emotional agility practices I’ve learnt in my own life. I am a firm believer in the concept of using these approaches ‘from the inside out’ so that I am the best therapist I can be & understand better what it’s like to be in a client’s shoes.

I have advanced EMDR training in Attachment-Informed Transpersonal EMDR, especially beneficial for healing relational trauma. It is not an understatement for me to say I have found this approach to be a ‘game changer’ in helping clients reach their therapy goals in an embodied, lasting way. I find this approach to be supportive, intuitive, client focused and ultimately about self-actualisation. My personal experience of having EMDR therapy has been deeply transformative, hence my passion for delivering it to others.

Do get in touch if you’d like to discuss further.

If you are reading this, you are likely facing internal obstacles between where you are and where you want to be. These hurdles often stem from implicit memories—emotional, physiological, and behavioral reactions that seem out of place in the present but were developed in response to past situations. EMDR is a powerful technique to help you move beyond these past influences and improve your current quality of life.

My goal is to enhance your life through effective therapy. I draw from extensive training and experience, tailoring EMDR to your unique needs and circumstances.

I am an accredited EMDR therapist and I am also qualified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. My specialism is to work with the way in which trauma has impacted on us through our lives, so we are no longer held back by the past. I have substantial experience in this area in the NHS, the charity sector and in private practice. I have a special interest in working with people who have struggled to get their needs met by the NHS or other statutory services.

My main priority is to build a trusting relationship with people that I work with, so that we can then use therapy techniques alongside our relationship to heal trauma. I come to sessions agenda-free, and my approach is flexible and responsive so that therapy in personal and individualised.

I look forward to hearing from you!
