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 attachment-informed EMDR. Beverley has a particular interest and experience working with childhood trauma, dissociative disorders, complex trauma, including DID, body image disorders, including BDD, and chronic pain management, alongside social anxiety, depression, eating disorders and self-harm. She facilitates a weekly therapy group to provide additional support for clients in individual therapy. 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 with clients from countries from around the world, and in person in Somerset, offering individual psychotherapy, EMDR, and various on-line support groups.
Beverley has also been offering intensive EMDR since 2019, and in 2022 we launched our residential intensive EMDR programme in Somerset. Working intensively with EMDR achieves very exciting and dramatic results which helps people get back on track much more quickly. For more information on intensive EMDR we have another website dedicated to this which you can check out at: www.hannahsproject.co.uk
