WHO ARE WE
Beverley Hutton, our Clinical Director and Founder, has an MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (UKCP accredited) and is a Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner, with additional training in more advanced Attachment Informed EMDR. Beverley has a particular interest and experience working with dissociative disorders, including DID and complex trauma, body image disorders, and chronic pain management, alongside social anxiety, depression, eating disorders and self-harm. She facilitates a weekly therapy group and monthly BDD and CPTSD groups. She previously set up and ran the StH Therapeutic Community for 7 years before moving into more individual work with EMDR, which has seen more complex clients being able to make dramatic progress over a much shorter time period. Beverley works on-line and in person from Somerset, offering individual psychotherapy, EMDR, and various on-line support groups.
Beverley has been offering intensive EMDR since 2019, and from 2022 launched our residential intensive EMDR programme in Somerset in 2022. Working intensively with EMDR achieves very exciting and dramatic results which helps people get back on track much more quickly. Beverley has several years' previous experience in senior NHS healthcare management.
