About me

Jacqueline is an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and registered with the EMDR Association UK with over 20 years of clinical experience within the NHS, private sector, and charity organisations.
I believe we are all unique and therefore adopt a personalised, collaborative approach to therapy. In our work together, I aim to ensure a warm, compassionate and client focused approach to enable you to understand your individual experiences. Using some specific therapeutic tools and techniques and/or often exploring past experiences can promote recovery.

Training, qualifications & experience
Jacqueline currently works both for the NHS and in private clinical practice offering CBT & EMDR therapy for adults on an individual basis. She accepts referrals from individual members of the public, organisations, EAPs, and referrals from other practitioners or NHS providers.
Within her extensive clinical roles and teaching, Jacqueline has demonstrated the importance of adopting a holistic approach, using evidence-based psychological therapies of both integrative and CBT modalities as well as incorporating, where necessary, Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is mainly used to help with traumatic feelings that have come about due to traumatic experiences. These include car crashes/road accidents, physical violence/assault, early childhood trauma or the loss of a loved one to name a few. It is a popular therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, but it is increasingly being used for other issues too.
Jacqueline has a specialist interest complex trauma and specifically domestic violence, sexual violence and an interest in expanding ego state therapy/internal parts work.
She also has experience supporting those with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Those experiencing dissociative identity disorder often experience intense internal changes in identity. This may feel like different aspects (states) of identity are in control of behaviour and thoughts at different times. Dissociative identity disorder is the result of a natural way of coping with childhood trauma.
Can I recover from a dissociative disorder?
'Yes. If you have the right diagnosis and treatment, there's a good chance you'll recover. This might mean that you stop experiencing dissociative symptoms. For example, the separate parts of your identity can merge to become one sense of self.'
Not everyone will stop experiencing dissociative symptoms completely. But treatment can help you feel more in control of your life and your identity. Some people find that being able to dissociate is comforting and may not be ready to stop dissociating completely.
EMDR for dissociative disorders
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) was created to help people process traumatic memories. Standard EMDR is not helpful for most people with dissociative disorders. The treatment should be adjusted to make it safe and effective. EMDR for dissociative disorders focuses on specific memories for shorter time periods.
Working in this way helps to prevent too many traumatic memories appearing too quickly, which is sometimes known as flooding. This can make the experience feel less intense. EMDR should only be used when you're feeling reasonably stable and by professionals who know about treating dissociative disorders.
Finally, Jacqueline also has a dedicated personal curiosity in moving expanding her knowledge and training towards incorporating EMDR for animals. She enjoys the family retired rescue racehorse and is training her therapy dog to join her sessions.
