I currently work as an independent practitioner providing in-person clinics in Torquay and clinics online.

In my independent practice I treat psychological injuries caused by exposure to extreme stressful and traumatic experiences at any life stage. However, my specialist area of interest is working with developmental trauma. I am fussy when it comes to conducting specialist assessments of C-PTSD and of early attachment wounds for the purposes of diagnosis and individualised formulation and treatment planning. For me, EMDR represents a comprehensive and integrative approach to psychotherapy, offering the flexibility to incorporate existing therapeutic knowledge and skills within the eight phases. This enables me to integrate attachment-based therapies, cognitive schema therapy, ego states and many more within the 8 phases. To date, I have witnessed over two hundred clients benefit from EMDR psychotherapy in some form. Through supervision and accreditation, I hope to enable other therapists to experience this.

David currently runs the Traumatic Stress Service for Staff, which he set up in a large mental health NHS trust. He is also the lead for EMDR in that same NHS Trust and is based in Bristol. He also runs a small private practice in Bristol.

David started his EMDR training in 2008 and became an Accredited Consultant in 2017. He has extensive EMDR supervision experience in the NHS, in his private practice and also through pro bono supervision that he provides for EMDR therapists in Jordan for Trauma Aid UK.

David is currently the chair of the Near West EMDR Association Regional Group.

Her qualifications include Diploma in Humanistic Counselling and Supervision, Advanced Certificates in Family and Couple Therapy, and accreditation as an Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) Practitioner & Supervisor with IPTuk. Hazel’s extensive clinical experience encompasses complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and the lasting effects of early life adversity, with a particular focus on working with veterans and their families.

As an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant, Hazel specialises in trauma-focused therapy using EMDR, supporting both clients and practitioners in navigating the complexities of PTSD and Complex PTSD. Over the past four years, she has developed and leads a Specialist Veteran focussed EMDR Therapy Service — a network of accredited EMDR Therapists and Consultants drawn from some of the country’s most experienced clinicians. This service provides high-quality, trauma-informed care across the UK and acts as a centre of excellence for EMDR practice. Through her supervision and consultancy, Hazel offers therapists a collaborative, reflective, and growth-focused space to deepen clinical confidence, maintain fidelity to the EMDR model, and deliver safe, effective trauma therapy with professionalism and compassion.

In 2022, Emma made the hard decision to leave the NHS after 20+ years, in order to create a greater work-life balance and concentrate on (neurodivergent!) family life with her husband, son, rescue greyhound and chickens. She now focuses solely on running her practice at The Sanctuary Exeter, working with a broad range of psychological and functional health issues. Emma also provides professional supervision to clinicians in public and private sectors (including EMDR and IFS therapists within the NHS), alongside consultation and training to other mental health professionals and psychologists (including consultation groups and bespoke trainings for integrating the EMDR and IFS models).

Emma uses a range of psychological therapeutic models and theories to inform her work (predominantly utilising attachment, systemic, psychodynamic, polyvagal and functional health principles). Specialising in EMDR, IFS and IFSiEMDR, her approach is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ and neuro-affirmative – underpinned by humanistic values that incorporate an essential focus upon building and maintaining the therapeutic relationship

He is also a qualified Mindfulness Teacher and Dramatherapist.

Since retiring from the NHS, he has been busy as an EMDR facilitator and continues to supervise EMDR therapists in five NHS Trusts.

His clinical practice includes working with Blue light personnel and private patients with a wide range of presentations.

As a military veteran, Michelle brings a unique perspective to trauma work, blending lived experience with specialist EMDR expertise to support clinicians working confidently with complex and high-impact presentations. Alongside her clinical role, Michelle has completed a Doctorate in Clinical Research, focusing on trauma-focused stabilisation and improving access to evidence-based care within NHS Talking Therapies. She has published academically, contributed to national and international dissemination, and has worked as an EMDR therapist on a clinical trial. Her research activity enriches her teaching, ensuring an evidence-led, practice-grounded approach.

Drawing on both her clinical and research experience, Michelle is passionate about sharing knowledge, enhancing skills and building confidence within teams. Her practice is informed by a broad range of EMDR CPD, including training in military presentations, OCD, psychosis, functional neurological disorder, parts work, shame, complicated grief, intergenerational trauma, chronic pain and somatic symptoms. She has also completed advanced workshops on dissociation, attachment-informed EMDR and working with complexity.

Known for her warm, bubbly and collaborative style, Michelle brings energy and approachability to facilitation. She creates a supportive learning environment where clinicians feel at ease, ask questions freely and build confidence in their EMDR practice. Outside of work, Michelle enjoys all things outdoors and adventurous. She is an endurance triathlete who has completed Ironman events, and she loves coastal hiking, wild swimming, horse riding, paddle boarding and travelling. She brings this same enthusiasm and zest for life into her training and supervision.

She works integratively in using EMDR, Third Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, Psychodynamic Concepts, Systemic Perspectives, Narrative Therapeutic Approaches and Internal Family Systems to provide clients with bespoke person centred care.

I worked in mental health for over 20 years in the NHS, initially as a mental health nurse and then as a CBT and EMDR Psychotherapist, in both primary and secondary care. I really enjoy using EMDR as it has been so effective in helping me treat people with complex and chronic mental health issues, including OCD, to move forward with their lives.

I am an EMDR Europe Consultant-in-training, offering individual online EMDR supervision to novice EMDR therapists in private practice, who have completed at least Part 1 of EMDR training.

For supervision, she thinks carefully with professionals about their needs, goals, and preferences.  As with therapy, relationships are key.  Alison works collaboratively with people to create a reflective space and authenticity which allows for sadness and joy. Supervision aims to be restorative as well as educational and informative, and thus, working together to balance these elements is vital.

She completed her EMDR training in 2017 and since this time it has been integral to her work.

Alexandra adopts a BiosPychoSocioSpiritual approach to her clinical practice and has written articles, papers and presented workshops both National and Internationally.  Alexandra has authored two books: ‘Using Spirituality in EMDR Therapy: The Heart Led Approach’ (2025) and ‘Using Spirituality in Psychotherapy: The Heart Led Approach to Clinical Practice’ (2026 – Second Edition), both published by Routledge.

She also co-authored a book entitled ‘Using Stories in EMDR: A Guide to the Storytelling (Narrative) Approach in EMDR Therapy’ by Logie, R., Bowers, M., Dent, A., Elliott, J., O’Connor, M., Russell, A. (2020) and all proceeds of this book go to Trauma Aid UK.

Gayle holds an MA in Psychotherapy and an MSc in EMDR, alongside additional qualifications from other industries that bring valuable transferable skills to her clinical work.
