I utilise EMDR, Rewind and Unblocking Techniques to help clients 'take the charge out' of past events that impact on today.
Thank you for checking out my profile. I work with adults and have a lengthy career history working across a range of issues. I predominantly use trauma therapy to help clients move forward but utilise a range of tools as required. In private practice I have worked with adult survivors of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, sudden death, accidents and suicide of loved ones. Clients may be unsure as to what their needs are, they simply want to feel better. We will explore this and identify targets for our work together. The initial discussion/meeting helps us to establish if I'm the right therapist for your needs.

I hope to create a safe and honest space where you can bring all parts of yourself to therapy.

I want to support you towards your goals whether that’s processing trauma, being kinder to yourself or a better relationship with food

These include EMDR, EFT, and TF-CBT delivered compassionately.
Hi, I am Joshua, a professional counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I understand how daunting it can feel to look for a counsellor and to work out whether someone will feel like the right fit. My aim is to offer a calm, transparent, and supportive starting point, so you have a clear sense of how I work and what you can expect. My approach is relational and integrative, with the therapeutic relationship at the centre of meaningful change. I work in a way that recognises how our experiences are held not only in our thoughts, but also in our bodies and in our patterns of relating to others.

I use CBT, EMDR, and acceptance-based approaches to help break patterns that keep anxiety going, process difficult experiences, and feel more able to cope with day-to-day life.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or finding it hard to switch off? I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm or cycles of worry that can feel hard to break. Life changes, ongoing pressure, or past experiences can leave people feeling drained, unsettled or unsure how to move forward. This might show up as difficulty relaxing, feeling on edge, or struggling to feel present day to day. Many appear to cope on the outside, managing responsibilities and caring for others, while feeling stretched and exhausted internally. I also have a particular interest in the challenges around pregnancy, postal and early patenthood.

This could be by getting curious through conversation, creative approaches, or EMDR, a powerful type of trauma therapy.
Are you tired of holding it all together? Of putting on a brave face when there’s so much beneath the surface that nobody can see? You go to work, you do your job, and to everyone around you, you seem “fine”. They don’t see the pain you’re carrying or the anxiety that creeps in late at night. They have no idea of the doubt you grapple with or the pressure you’re under. I’m a qualified psychotherapist who helps people manage the impact of stress, anxiety and trauma. I’m also down-to-earth, deeply empathetic and know how hard it can be to share those more vulnerable parts of ourselves we keep hidden.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
