Joyce Blake

Fully accredited BABCP (CBT) and BACP therapist, BPS psychologist and UK and Ireland Association EMDR therapist.  I am also trained in RLT couple therapy.

Thank you for visiting my page. I appreciate that it is not always easy to take those first steps to seek help and my aim is to make our initial conversation (and any subsequent therapy) as welcoming and helpful as possible for you.

I believe that all individuals have the potential for growth and change and, having completed many years of training, my aim is to adapt my therapeutic style in order to achieve the best results for you at this time. We may use:

CBT to gain insight into the thoughts and behaviours that are contributing to your difficulties. CBT is especially good for anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD and depression

EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) can be highly effective for addressing past traumas or phobias.

Emotion Focused Therapy helps the client gain insight and address their immediate emotional reactions.

I also believe in the benefits of Jungian creative play, visualisation techniques and humour to gain insight and create change.

I have many years experience of working with clients with a wide range of mental health issues (NHS, MIND, private practice) and specialise in working with clients with relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety disorders, panic disorder and depression.
