Trauma, Anxiety & Depression Therapy -
York & Online 

EMDR & CBT  

Therapy that supports you to lasting change. Helping you heal from difficult experiences, understand patterns that keep you stuck, and move towards greater confidence, connection and wellbeing.

If past experiences, anxiety, overwhelming emotions or low mood are affecting your life, therapy can help you make sense of what is happening and create meaningful change.

I’m Jemma Austin, a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Practitioner with 20 years’ experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health difficulties. I specialise in trauma-focused therapy, using EMDR alongside CBT and other evidence-based approaches to help people recover from distressing experiences and overcome the difficulties that continue to affect them.

​​

Trauma does not always come from one single event. Sometimes it develops through childhood experiences, difficult relationships, loss, repeated stress, medical experiences or situations where you felt overwhelmed, unsafe or unable to cope. These experiences can continue to affect how you feel, think, relate to others and see yourself.

​​

​​I also support people experiencing anxiety, panic, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach. 

​​

Whether you feel stuck in the past, overwhelmed in the present, or uncertain about how to move forward, therapy offers a safe and supportive space to understand your experiences, develop new ways of coping and create lasting change.
