About
Hello, I’m Karen, an integrative psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, and founder of Understanding Therapy. I’m a UKCP accredited psychotherapist and BACP registered practitioner with an MSc in Psychotherapy (Distinction). I provide in person and online EMDR therapy in the UK for adults affected by trauma, anxiety, shame, relationship difficulties, or life transitions. Many people seek EMDR when they feel stuck, aware something happened in the past but still feeling its impact in the present. EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. I offer trauma therapy in person or online in a steady, carefully paced way, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and tailored to you. If you’re looking for an EMDR practitioner in the UK, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
