Cathy Rowland

Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist with specialist training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed EMDR. If you are feeling low, stuck or struggling with overwhelm, I will work sensitively and flexibly to help you address whatever feels difficult in the present and unresolved from the past.

As a calm, compassionate, inclusive practitioner, I believe strongly in the therapeutic relationship as the most healing aspect of our work. I work collaboratively at your own pace, supporting you on your own unique path towards a happier and more fulfilled life.

More Details

My speciality is in interweaving a range of cutting-edge trauma-informed practices into EMDR to suit your needs. Among these are Attachment-Focussed EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems) and creative approaches – all of which harness the brain’s healing power. This builds upon my core training as a relational humanistic practitioner, which fosters connection to your own understanding and potential.

Some of my influences here are: Kohut’s ideas around empathy, perspectives around early human development, trauma-informed approaches (Gabor Mate, Van der Kolk, Herman etc), insights into the nervous system, polyvagal theory, relational psychoanalysis as it informs the therapeutic relationship, contemporary theories of human interaction, society, culture and existentialism.

I work with people on both a short and longer-term basis. If you think you might be interested in working with me, you are welcome to book a free 15-minute exploratory phone call or come for an initial session. I abide fully by the UCKP’s code of ethics; I am in regular supervision, update my skills frequently and practise many meaningful forms of self-care.
