Kathryn Reynolds

Hello, I am Kathryn Reynolds, an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and a member of the BACP with a diploma in advanced counselling. I run a confidential EMDR therapy practice in Shropshire for people who are suffering with present day difficulties due to past events and experiences. I have worked in the NHS for more than 30 years. Seventeen years as a midwife and sixteen years as a counsellor, split between the primary care team (in GP practices) and then specialist services (Eating Disorder Service.) I receive regular and appropriate clinical supervision from an EMDR Consultant. For the last 14 years I have been working as an EMDR Practitioner, the last 10 years in private practice.

Qualification history; REGISTERED NURSE, REGISTERED MIDWIFE, DIPLOMA IN PC COUNSELLING, EMDR ACCREDITAION.

I use a variety of tools in my approach to therapy including Person Centered, CBT techniques, Psychological education and EMDR. EMDR therapy is a NICE guide line approaved therapy and is widely used for people suffering from traumatic events/ disturbing memories/ relentless flash backs/ PTSD/ anxiety/ emotional, physical or emotional abuse/ overwhelming grief/ addictive behaviours and more. I have found that EMDR is a very effective therapy and I work with this method for the majority of clients.

EMDR therapy works with memory networks. Memories can be stored within our mind in different ways. Some traumatic experiences are stored within the body sensations that were part of the event. When memory is recalled it can bring with it the pain and discomfort of the past event. By reprocessing those experiences with EMDR, the way the memory is stored can change. The aim of EMDR therapy is to take the emotional charge out of the memory, it does not remove memory. EMDR can work on past, present and future events. If you would like to know more about EMDR and my practice please contact me either by e-mail or phone for more information.
