Jette Bovingdon, BA (Hons), DipHE, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, MBACP Accredited/Registered

Having had to reach out for myself, I really understand how difficult and how important a step this is likely to be for you and I also know how psychotherapy and Attachment Informed EMDR can change your life for the better.

Both EMDR and Psychotherapy changed my life, I was helped to heal, to grow and to blossom as a person again. It inspired me to train as a psychotherapist so I could help others to achieve the same.

I truly believe we all have the capacity and the power to heal within our psyche.
