About Me

Trauma Psychotherapist

Welcome to a sanctuary of healing and resilience. I’m Jacky, a dedicated trauma-informed psychotherapist with 25 years of immersive experience in mental health care, spanning diverse landscapes within private and NHS sectors.

Specialising in tailored support and therapy for individuals navigating the aftermath of traumatic events, I foster a nurturing space where emotions can be explored, experiences processed, and coping mechanisms cultivated to navigate the complexities of trauma. Through Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy (EMDR), a non-verbal therapeutic approach, I empower clients to rewrite their trauma narratives, fostering resilience and restoring a sense of empowerment.

In my tenure as an NHS lead in anxiety management and as a dedicated trauma therapist in private healthcare, I’ve contributed significantly to the well-being of many. Committed to professional growth, I maintain membership with BSCAH and associate with EMDR UK, ensuring alignment with best practices and ongoing development in mental health.

Nestled in Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire, my private practice specialises in supporting individuals grappling with Trauma, Anxiety, Stress, Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These challenges can profoundly impact every facet of life, from physical health to relationships, hindering optimal functioning and well-being. My therapy can also be completed remotely using therapy-specific platforms on line.

By addressing symptoms head-on through therapy, individuals can acquire effective strategies to manage stress, enhance coping skills, and reclaim their lives from the grip of anxiety and trauma. Left untreated, conditions like PTSD can perpetuate suffering, manifesting in panic attacks, flashbacks, and sleep disturbances, casting a shadow over daily existence.

The cyclical nature of PTSD symptoms, often subsiding before resurfacing triggered by certain stimuli, can lead individuals to believe they are coping, delaying treatment and perpetuating the cycle, ultimately affecting their family life, relationships, work relationships and overall well-being.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing by taking my complimentary assessment and gaining invaluable insights into your well-being. Together, let’s forge a path towards resilience and a brighter, more fulfilling future. Ready to reclaim your life, work, and relationships?

What is EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy combined with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Hypnotherapy is an effective long-lasting therapy and treatment for trauma and phobias.

During EMDR therapy, patients recall a traumatic event while making specific eye movements, usually following the therapist’s finger. The goal is to reprogram the memory with a new, positive belief. EMDR may also involve other methods, such as finger tapping or sounds.

EMDR has eight phases that include, history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitisation, installation, body scan, closure and re-evaluation.

I help survivors move beyond their traumatic experiences into recovery, heal emotional wounds, break patterns of behaviour, regaining a sense of empowerment and well-being in person at my practice or online.
