Teresa McCrisken
Counsellor & EMDR therapist
Hi, my name is Teresa and I’m an integrative counsellor. This means I am trained in a variety of therapeutic methods which I will then tailor to suit your needs, goals and pace. Compassion and understanding guide every session, ensuring you feel understood, respected, and actively supported.
I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing), a structured and research‑supported method for processing trauma, distressing memories and the emotional patterns that can keep us feeling stuck. EMDR can be used as a standalone intervention or integrated into wider therapeutic work to help you process past events and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I work mainly, but not exclusively, with anxiety, depression, loss, addictions, trauma (including PTSD) self-harm and suicide.
I work collaboratively with you to identify what you want to change, understand what’s getting in the way, and build the resources needed to move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. Clients often describe the work as both supportive and purposeful - an environment where insight, healing, and change can happen together.
I am fully accredited with my professional body (BACP)
Qualifications:
- Diploma in Counselling
- Certificate in Complex Trauma and Childhood Sexual Abuse
- Post Graduate Certificate in Psychological Trauma
- EMDR trained and supervised
