About me

Hello, I’m Erin

I’m a qualified BACP (accred.) and EMDR (accred.) therapist and counsellor based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, offering support to children, young people, and adults. I follow an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring the treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual. With over 9 years of experience, I’ve helped individuals and families navigate challenging times using a variety of therapeutic methods, including play therapy and creative tools to explore and process emotions and experiences. My practice also focuses on the neuroscience of trauma, emotions, and how our mindsets shape our approach to the world. I incorporate somatic techniques, visualisation, and other therapeutic tools to best support my clients.

As an accredited EMDR therapist and Consultant, I bring extensive experience in delivering EMDR therapy to both children and adults. If EMDR is beneficial for your healing journey, I would be happy to incorporate it into our work. For more information, please visit my EMDR page.

I have a particular specialism in supporting children who have experienced adoption or the care system. I’ve worked closely with foster carers, adoptive families, and the local authority in various settings, providing attachment-informed therapy, therapeutic life story work, and offering support to both parents and children. I’m also experienced in collaborating with other professionals, attending meetings, and providing feedback where needed.

For adult therapy, I remain integrative, adjusting my approach to what works best for each person. This may include a mix of talking therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic techniques, creative approaches, CBT, and trauma and attachment-informed work. EMDR can also be incorporated when appropriate.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across various settings, including trauma-informed specialist services with the local authority, schools, the NHS, and in medicolegal contexts.

Feel free to get in touch to discuss my therapy style and experience further!
