EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for trauma, PTSD and stuck distressing memories.
Private practice · London & online
Thoughtful, carefully paced psychological care with Dr Chia Barsen — Counselling Psychologist (HCPC) and UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist. For adults seeking specialist support with trauma, PTSD, and related difficulties.
A considered therapeutic relationship
Many people arrive feeling stuck with memories, patterns, or a nervous system that will not settle. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced carefully: we make sense of what has happened, reduce the hold of distressing experiences, and build practical ways of relating to yourself and others.
I draw on EMDR Europe-accredited practice alongside integrative psychotherapy — including psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and narrative approaches — and modalities such as Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills where helpful.
