Dorota Cronin

Welcome – I'm a trauma therapist offering EMDR therapy to support your healing and growth. I'm an accredited EMDR therapist and Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist with a background in occupational therapy and general nursing. I have over 20 years' experience working across NHS mental health services with adults, young people, and those with complex trauma and emotional needs. My work is centred around helping you understand how difficult life experiences may have shaped how you feel, think, and relate to others today. I specialise in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) – a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps you process distressing memories, reduce emotional overwhelm, and move toward lasting emotional recovery. I integrate EMDR with approaches like CAT, somatic psychology, MBT, IFS-informed work, and polyvagal theory. I also draw on CBT, ACT and DBT when helpful. This allows us to personalise therapy to your needs, and to support not just symptom relief, but genuine growth, healing, and integration. We'll think together about how past experiences have shaped your self-beliefs, relationships, and emotional patterns. I aim to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can safely explore the roots of distress and build your resilience, self-understanding, and connection to your strengths. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, dissociation, intrusive thoughts, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer therapy that supports the whole of you, not just the symptoms. If you're interested in exploring how we could work together, please feel free to get in touch for an informal conversation. I'd be honoured to support you on your journey. I offer a range of appointment options and a flexible approach to suit your needs, including the possibility of intensive EMDR treatment for those seeking deeper or time-limited therapeutic work.   For more information about EMDR, please click on the link below: https://emdrassociation.org.uk/ For more information about CAT, please click on the link below: https://www.acat.org.uk/about-the-association-of-cognitive-analytic-therapy-acat
