Helping you Heal and Move Forward
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/distressing memories or other emotional difficulties? Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships? Are you struggling with pain or a long-term condition? Help is available.
I understand the challenges of dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, low self esteem, trauma, addiction and other emotional difficulties that is why I provide a tailored programme of therapy rather than a one size fits all approach.
Get Your Life Back!
Hi, I'm Jayne Shears and I am an EMDR and CBT psychotherapist offering online or face to face sessions on a weekly basis or through intensive sessions!
I offer psychological assessment and evidence-based treatments recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) for common psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. The service aims to help you regain a sense of enjoyment in your everyday life using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR).

CBT Treatment
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy recommended by NICE for a wide range of emotional and physical health problems. When we feel distressed, we often fall into unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT helps you identify and change these patterns so you can feel better.
The number of sessions required will depend on your specific difficulties, usually between 8 and 12 sessions. Tasks between sessions will be agreed at a pace you're comfortable with.
I now also offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Couples Counselling.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR Treatment
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is an eight-phase treatment developed by Francine Shapiro in 1987. EMDR is recommended by NICE and the World Health Organisation for PTSD and is now used effectively to treat a wide range of difficulties.
Attachment-focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) utilises the same framework of EMDR psychotherapy with an added attachment-repair focus. Psychological distress, even of the most complex kind, usually has its roots in early-life experiences of attachment in childhood, and the presence or usually absence of repair to emotional ruptures big and small – capturing how someone got to be the way they are now.
