Approach to EMDR & How I Work

Jacky specialises in Trauma Therapy, in particular EMDR Therapy whereby the understanding is that most current symptoms have an originating causal memory which gets stuck frozen in time with all the beliefs, emotions, sensations, smells, sounds etc. This can then generate a range of PTSD Symptoms, anxiety disorders and depression. Jacky's aim is to help the client process this memory and update the information, before clearing out the current triggers and laying down healthy future templates for a more adaptive healthier way of functioning.

Jacky also offers Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help clients challenge their ways of thinking which can lead to unhelpful emotions and behaviours and Counselling/psychotherapy for those clients who want to explore issues in depth.

Jacky works in an integrated way works remotely video since 2020 and will follow which therapy is most suitable for the client with a clear shared understanding.
Jacky sees clients Fridays 09.00-18.00 and on Saturdays 09.00-18.00 and some evenings upon request.
