Rebecca Conlan Elwood

I have been working in the field of adult psychology for almost ten years. Most of this time has been in a busy NHS psychological therapy setting.  I appreciate how hard it can be to take the first step towards accessing psychological therapy, reflecting on yourself and your past.  I have a vast array of experience. I aim to create a safe and warm place for you to explore your difficulties and establish your goals.

I am a CBT therapist, accredited and regulated by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I can provide CBT for a range of difficulties.  However, my specialism and passion is Schema Therapy to which I have been certified by the International Society of Schema Therapists (ISST).  I am also an accredited EMDR practitioner with EMDR Europe and have specific training in attachment focused EMDR. 

Through Schema Therapy, EMDR and CBT, I provide structured, compassionate support to help you break unhelpful patterns, process unresolved experiences and create lasting change.   We will work together to heal your inner child.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation were you can talk briefly about your difficulties and what you need support with.  After the initial consultation we will arrange an assessment session to get a fuller understanding of your presenting problems and background history.  Following the assessment, I will endeavor to create a psychological formulation.  This will enable us to understand the origins of your difficulties and more specifically address negative behavioral patterns. 

You will learn a lot about yourself in these sessions and have time to explore your difficulties in a safe space.  I will offer you compassion, empathy and professionalism to enable you to reach your desired goals.
