About me
As a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist, I work with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and grief, across both NHS and private settings.
My integrative approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore deeper emotional and psychological patterns.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and distress can make it difficult to live in the way we would like. Therapy offers a space to make sense of your experiences, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and explore new ways forward. I aim to offer a collaborative, compassionate and supportive environment where we can build on your strengths and develop ways to support your wellbeing, at a pace that feels right for you.
I offer virtual appointments and in-person sessions at my Parkstone clinic. If you would like to arrange an initial consultation, please get in touch or visit www.drjessicamatcham.co.uk for more information.
