Paul Grixti

I am delighted to publish that we now have some daytime/weekday EMDR availability (online only) for child or adult

Thank you for considering Paul Gregory Associates Ltd as an option for your therapy or training requirements. In a nutshell, my advice is to be guided by recommendation, accreditation, experience, high professionalism and, of course, your budget. Therapy is not the solution. But it might help you find one.

I am best known for delivering Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to adults and children in Sussex that have attachment trauma and/or subsequent trauma. As lead therapist, I am accredited (qualified & experienced to a high standard) by BACP and EMDR Association (UK) to work with adult AND child & adolescent. Please check whether your final therapist selection is similarly qualified.  I work predominantly online so there are often no waiting lists. Please feel free to call, complete the form below, or contact me through our website. 

EMDR

Effective NICE Guidelines approved PTSD & Attachment Informed Trauma approaches for children and adults including EMDR. Trauma treatments are offered on a Humanistic framework by an experienced person- centred psychotherapist. Play and art techniques also available to all client groups. 

While we are in the position to offer availability, all therapy provision is currently offered online eg via Zoom, Teams or telephone. Whilst this will not work for everyone, we have found that effectiveness is not usually affected by the medium used. Research suggest that the therapeutic relationship is always key to success.

Therapy is currently online only. Corporate consultation/training remains available nationally and in-person. Recently, I have mainly been asked to support the care, support and therapeutic sectors but would be open to supporting within other industries too.

I am approved by the Local Authority to deliver EMDR to families via the Adoption Support Fund. Please contact your social worker if you think your family would benefit from funded EMDR or therapeutic parenting (TP) with Paul Gregory Associates Ltd. 

I hope the first session is as helpful as any other session, which is not always the case with therapy. Whilst it may be more "assessment-based", much of the essential history-taking/data gathering is covered in our Welcome Pack, so there is always therapeutic support available in the first session, if appropriate. The first session is a time where you can ask questions too. You will know a lot more after it. I recommend considering more than one first session (with multiple therapists) if budget and timings allow. 

Mon - Sat (all hours) daytime

I am clinical lead at Paul Gregory Associates Ltd (Chichester) for modern, private, case-managed counselling & psychotherapy. Now I offer online services only. Why? I can currently offer more flexibility with regard to appointment times and see a lot more clients! Most of my availability is offered to Local Authority for the support of children/young people on their books. 

October 2024 sees our first BACP directory listing since Covid as we start to experience some availability. Please request a Welcome Pack today!

Formerly based at Hamblin Hall. Now online only (including EMDR for child/adult). Many locally will know us for our EMDR. This continues to be offered online. 

In line with BACP and EMDR Europe guidelines, I have due competencies, supervision and many years experience in remote therapy. English speaking, qualified, accredited and registered specializing in the treatment of trauma in adults and children nationally and internationally. My EMDR trauma treatments are delivered on a person-centred, humanistic framework. Online therapy is not for everyone. We have been delivering safe, ethical online EMDR to adults and children for many years. This increased exponentially during Covid and our experience rapidly increased. The therapeutic relationship is still central and research continues to suggest that success will rely on this whichever medium is chosen. It is important to be as open with your therapist as you can be in order to feel safe, and for the therapy to be as successful as possible. Talk to us. Ask for a Welcome Pack today!

Once you have made contact, you will be sent you a link to your PC/phone/device inviting you to a 'meeting' on Zoom. A short information sheet/agreement form with a link to download Zoom, along with some assessment questions will be included. The process is very simple. The first session with an online therapist, can be much like any first therapy session. The emphasis is on the therapeutic relationship and how I can help you via a very humanistic, person centred, bespoke approach.
