About North East Trauma Therapy
Hi my name is Mel. I am a Specialist Trauma Therapist and run North East Trauma Therapy. I work in a relational way, ensuring that strong relationships are built with those accessing therapy with me. If you have experienced trauma in the past, I understand that relationships can be hard. I also know that it can be hard to feel understood if you are Neurodivergent and not working with someone who understands what this is like.
As you are thinking about accessing therapy and are considering whether to open up, I thought that I would share some information about myself too.
I qualified as a Learning Disability Nurse in 2004. I took the journey to qualifying as a Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) therapist in 2012, gaining full accreditation with the BABCP in 2014. I qualified in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in 2013 and gained practitioner accreditation in 2022. I am currently an EMDR Consultant-in-training and offer supervision and guidance to other EMDR therapists.
In 2024 I qualified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, gaining Level 1 with the IFS Institute. I am also qualified in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) and have been using this regularly in my practice since 2022.
