Abby Aitken

Welcome. I'm really glad you have found my page. I am an experienced psychotherapist with experience and understanding of different life experiences and the effect these can have on people's lives.

I have worked across different therapeutic settings, using different forms of therapy but throughout them all, my way of practicing has one important thread. I believe passionately that the relationship between you an I is the most important part of the therapy work. You deserve a space where you can be yourself in every way, respected and deeply understood. Without this, therapy is just a process rather than an effective, enriching experience.

I work in private practice with adults, where I help people work through trauma, life changes, anxiety, stress, depression and many other issues. I also work within an NHS unit that specialises in trauma therapy, specifically with people who have experienced sexual harm at any time in their lives. I am a qualified EMDR therapist, providing trauma focussed therapy for many different clients and for many different experiences.

The work I do with clients really matters to me. For my part, I will commit to being open, honest and supportive and to bring anything I can offer, during what can be both a challenging and enlightening process. For you, I hope you find a connection that will help you to move forward in life as you wish to.  

I work mostly online offering Talking Therapy and EMDR Therapy.

I am happy to have a telephone conversation or 20 minute zoom call with you so that we can introduce ourselves and you can decide if we are a good fit to work together.
