Justine Fenton

I have limited availability at the present time however, I'm open to discuss options which may suit you.

I am an integrative, trauma informed adult and child EMDR therapist and supervisor with over ten year's post qualifying experience from my core model, person centred. I have worked with a diverse range of people experiencing challenges in their lives in adult NHS talking therapies, educational settings with children and young people and latterly, private practice.

What is EMDR? (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

The mind can often heal itself naturally, in the same way as the body does. Much of this natural coping mechanism occurs during sleep, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Most of the time your body routinely manages new information and experiences without you being aware of it. However, when something out of the ordinary occurs and you are traumatised by an overwhelming event/s your natural coping mechanism can become overloaded. This overloading can result in disturbing experiences remaining unprocessed in an emotional form, rather than in a verbal “story” mode.

Distressing memories remain in an isolated memory network associated with emotions and physical sensations. This can trigger memories in the present or anticipatory fear for the future which can have a negative impact on daily life and functioning. Your ability to live in the present and learn from new experiences can therefore become inhibited. EMDR helps to process traumatic memories in a very natural way. EMDR can be an effective treatment for a range of mental health difficulties.

EMDR is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for PTSD.

I believe that counselling and psychotherapy can have a significant impact on our lives, where we can develop the relationship with ourselves and to others, in new and more fulfilling ways. Learning about how we experience ourselves emotionally, behaviourally and physically, informs how we relate to others.

I offer a commitment to providing a non-discriminatory service,respecting diversity in all aspects of our work.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I currently offer sessions face to face, via teams or telephone .
