Therapy
What we offer
We provide a variety of highly skilled clinical interventions for those suffering with complex emotional difficulties, including intensive residential EMDR, weekly EMDR, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and support groups—all with a compassion-focused therapy approach. We work on-line and in person in Somerset, with the intensive residential EMDR retreats taking place in Somerset. We work with conditions including complex trauma, dissociative disorders (including DID), body image issues such as BDD, as well as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other dysfunctional coping mechanisms.
Therapy aims to build self-esteem within a supportive environment as you learn to overcome negative patterns of thinking and behaviour. For some more complex difficulties joining a weekly group alongside your individual therapy can often provide the encouragement to keep going and challenging yourself. As we work together, we can address deep issues as you gradually regain control of your life.
​
Alongside therapy, we also run a variety of workshops, support groups, and training. Since March 2020 our individual therapy, group therapy, and training courses have been offered on-line and we have been able to reach a greater number of people from all over the country and internationally. We will continue to offer therapy and training on-line going forwards, although in person therapy is available in Somerset with both Beverley and Gemma for those who would prefer it.
Therapy involves change and requires commitment. Group Therapy looks at understanding coping methods, negative thought patterns and patterns of behaviour through relationships with others; understanding familiar patterns of behaviour, and supporting one another with new tools to bring about change. We aim to equip people with new strategies to respond positively to distressing memories and trauma, setting realistic goals with each individual for the upcoming days, weeks, and months to come. All of this is done within a safe environment on-line, within which everyone supports each other in the process of recovery.
