Online EMDR Therapy

 

Hello, my name is Tracey Neale and  I’m a fully qualifed Online EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) practitioner.  I’m also trained in Integrative therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) and work with both couples and individuals.

Integrative counselling means I draw on a number of different therapeutic theories depending on your individual needs.

EMDR Therapy : Eye movement desensitisation reprocessing

The mind can heal itself naturally in the same way the body does. Much of this natural coping mechanism occurs during sleep, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

However, when we experience trauma, such as trauma during childhood or, for example, perhaps a recent car accident, then the natural coping mechanism can become overloaded. This can lead to the
disturbing experiences remaining frozen in the brain or being “unprocessed”.

Therefore the process of EMDR involves the identification of unprocessed traumatic or other distressing experiences that are continuing to drive an individual’s psychological disturbance. This can be achieved through eye movements or tapping bilaterally, known as bilateral stimulation.
EMDR is effective in treating a wide range of mental health problems. For more information – or more information – click EMDR Association

EMDR therapy online —  People often ask, is EMDR effective online. The answer is a resounding yes! Therapists have been administering EMDR online with success for years. The pandemic further highlighted the need for effective, online treatments and since then there’s been the development of platforms that support bilateral stimulation, such as Bilateral Base.

Counselling is a talking therapy that will support you in exploring your past experiences and help you recognise any negative patterns, often formed in childhood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the theory that our thoughts, feelings and behaviour are all connected. Therefore, if we change one of these we can alter the others. CBT is effective for all kinds of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and anger.

My experience

I have over ten years’ experience as a practicing therapist, working within private practice and the ‘NHS IAPT’ (Increased Access to Psychological Therapies) services.

How my online counselling can help

I firmly believe that my own personal experiences have contributed to me being a warm, empathetic counsellor. Thiis means,  I will support you in exploring your difficulties and help you understand where they might have originated. We will also look at how you feel about yourself and the world around you.  This will all be achieved through a confidential, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Working together we will help you bring about a positive change.

My expertise is with individuals experiencing problems such anxiety, depression, anger and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Along with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and childhood trauma. I am experienced in bereavement counselling and eating disorders. Alongside drug, alcohol and gambling addictions. As well as issues with sexual orientation, gender, relationships, self-esteem, family dynamics.

Ethical standards

I am accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) so work within their ethical framework.

I undertake regular professional development and supervision as well as having professional indemnity insurance.
