Testimonials 

"I think it’s fair to say that Linda has transformed my life with EMDR. I’ll admit I was sceptical about how it could work but after recieving my diagnosis of OCD and being told I’d need a 2 week intensive at home ERP/CBT course I needed to look for other options. I was not in a stable enough place to consider ERP and the thought was causing a lot of anxiety. A friend recommended EMDR so I thought I’d give it a go. The first couple of weeks of therapy we focused on techniques to reduce anxiety, learning about my nervous system, and bringing compasion to my obsessive thoughts. The following weeks we started reprocessing old memories, and although parts of this were very challenging, this journey has felt like the most compassionate way to tackle my OCD. It wasn’t scary, the effect was subtle and without realising it my obsessions and compulsions began to reduce. I’m so grateful to have so much of my life back and a much better understanding of how my brain works, I couldn’t recommend EMDR and Linda highly enough. Thanks so much."

“Joyce was excellent, open-minded, kind and fun. I feel relaxed, kinder to myself, centred and have a new narrative that is really helpful. Joyce, thank you for letting me imagine again”

“I have seen a range of therapists over the years, but Joyce has been by far the best. She is warm, clever, and highly-intuitive and seems to have a sixth-sense in her understanding of my feelings. I have benefited so much from our work together. Thank you Joyce, therapy with you really has changed my life!“

"I can't say enough good things about Linda...EMDR therapy has been life-changing for me, especially in dealing with Pure O. From the start, I felt comfortable and understood, which made all the difference. Each session helped me feel more in control of my thoughts and less anxious. It’s amazing how much progress I’ve made thanks to Linda. If you're struggling with similar issues, I can highly recommend EMDR with Linda. I’m so grateful for the help and support she has given me!"

"I went to Bea having been diagnosed with OCD and was in a very low and desperate place. I was plagued by intrusive thoughts and unable to break the obsessive-compulsive cycle. To say that Bea helped me turn my life around is no exaggeration. From day one she was extremely open, kind and supportive, with absolutely no judgement. Something I also really valued, is that she always treated me like a normal, intelligent person. She always listened and took the time to understand my unique experience. 6 years down the line I'm pleased to say that I am still able to manage my OCD well and live a relatively OCD-free life. I still use the techniques I learnt with Bea on a regular basis. I can't recommend her enough."

"The main aim of my therapy was to help with my OCD, since therapy I have been managing so well and utilise all the skills I learnt. I am now at a place I didn't think I would ever be able to reach again. I believe this therapy has changed my life! I was in an extremely difficult place before mentally and couldn't understand a way that I would ever feel like my old self. The things I have learnt I will carry forever and will be forever thankful to Bea for how much she helped me and how much of a compassionate, non-judgemental and realistic approach was taken to everything".

"Linda is kind, patient, compassionate, funny, knowledgeable and intuitive. The kind of therapist I’d spent so many years wishing I had in my corner and trying to find. I met her at one of my lowest points and she has and is healing and helping me to heal myself into the person I want to be. She’s listened and helped me feel heard and seen in a way I’d not had by a therapist before. She took on what I was saying from my experiences with my OCD and PTSD and found a way to help me. She’s given me back the hope and trust I had lost in a therapist’s ability to help me. I had been through a lot of different types of therapy before finding Linda and she is by far the best. Experiencing attachment-focused EMDR with Linda is giving me my life back and opening it up in a way I feared I may never get. To feel it working and the progress made each session and in the subsequent week and on, is something hard to put into words, it’s everything! I much prefer and find the compassionate approach to this therapy so much more beneficial than the CBT and ERP therapies I’ve had in the past, where I was encouraged to see the OCD as a monster. My previous therapy felt like torture, AF-EMDR feels like the way I can heal. I feel so immeasurably thankful for this type of therapy and for Linda who made it happen."
