ABOUT MEI'm a fully insured BACP accredited counsellor and hold an enhanced DBS certificate. I'm an accredited EMDR Therapist. I offer counselling for adults and young people, and play therapy for children. I also work with couples and families. I practice from private rooms in Knebworth, Hertfordshire. I work integratively - this means I can draw on a range of theoretical approaches and tools to support our work together appropriately. These include CBT, NLP, psychodynamic, gestalt, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Brainspotting and DNMS/Attachment theory.Originally developed to treat people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress EMDR is now recognised as an effective treatment for other mental health conditions eg chronic pain, depression, relationship issues, and behavioural and chemical addictions. As an EMDR UK Accredited Practitioner I work extensively with members of the emergency services, including ambulance personnel, police and firearms officers.DNMS addresses unwanted behaviours, beliefs, emotions, and urges rooted in unmet emotional needs from childhood trauma and attachment wounds. DNMS helps heal childhood trauma and attachment wounds by meeting the needs of wounded child parts to help them get unstuck from the past. Making contact by phone, or e-mail if it feels easier, can be a positive first step to talk through what you feel you need to move forward and how we might go about doing this. This will help you to form an impression, get a sense of me and the way I work, and decide whether you want to book a first session.I look forward to hearing from you.Viv Philps-Tate
