JEMMA AUSTIN
Cognitive Behavioural
Psychotherapist
I originally trained in CBT and therefore I use this approach as the base for all my therapy. However, I complement this with ACT, Mindfulness and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy) principles. I also offer EMDR treatment, please see below for more details.
CBT
CBT works on the principle of how thoughts, feelings, physical symptoms and behaviours are interlinked and how we can get caught in negative cycles. All of these different areas can be affected by what has or is happening in our current lives
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR has an extensive evidence base for treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but has also been proven to treatment a range of other psychological disorders such as anxiety, abuse, addictions and phobias.
OPTIONS FOR THERAPY
There are different methods of delivering psychological therapy. Most people will be familiar with face to face treatment but alternative approaches have become more popular, often making treatment more easily accessible and easier to fit into their busy lives. I offer a number of different approaches to treatment
