Hi there.
I am new to this forum so hello, and apologies in advance if this is not an appropriate question to ask.
I wondered if anyone was seeing a great EMDR therapist in the UK, privately, who is really nice/kind/nurturing and good with complex trauma? And, if so, would you be willing to give me their name (not sure if you can send private messages here or not?)
I was with my previous integrative therapist for many years, before she recently decided she didn't have the skills to cope with my trauma (CPTSD).
So I started the long, traumatic and complex journey of looking into EMDR and EMDR therapists.
I am working so can afford to go privately, but not to pay some of the extortionate fees that some seem to be charging! I'm based in London which seems even worse.
As most EMDR therapy seems to be online now, I'm broadening my search to anyone really who looks good.
I've tried searching near me in London but no-one stands out and many seem v expensive.
I've tried searching on all the usual sites - counselling directory, psychology today etc but there are literally pages and pages of therapists. They are just a sea of faces.
I tried one therapist who looked great in their photo but was nothing like I expected them to be when we met, and that massively triggered me.
So, I just thought I'd try here in case anyone has found anyone good and was willing to share their name. I can then look them up myself.
I appreciate that whether someone is good or not is subjective, but if they are kind, gentle and good with complex trauma, that's a good start!
Thanks ever so much!
