Our therapists

  My name is Emma Ducklin and I am a Clinical Psychologist with more  than 11 years of experience working for the NHS in Adult Mental Health.   I am Chartered with the British Psychological Society and registered as  a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions  Council.

I tend to work in an integrative way which is tailored to  individual need, and this often incorporates elements of psychodynamic,  cognitive analytic and cognitive behaviour therapy, as these are the  models I have the most training and experience in.

I strongly believe that experience of damaged and difficult  relationships lie at the heart of most psychological distress, whatever  form this distress may take.  I also believe that working on  relationships, with the support of a therapist, can go some way to  helping people establish more healthy ways of engaging in relationships,  thereby leading to a more fulfilling life experience.

I am confident and experienced in working with a wide range of  psychological difficulties including anxiety, depression, perinatal  mental health issues such as those caused by birth trauma, complicated  grief, sexual trauma and abuse, self harm and suicidal ideation, eating  difficulties, relationship difficulties, adjustment to chronic ill  health, and work related stress.

I receive regular clinical supervision for my work, have an  enhanced disclosure, and have professional indemnity insurance in place.

Many of us need help and support at  some time in our lives for lots of different reasons.  Modern medicine  does not have a cure for stress, and we now know that a person’s mental  and emotional state affects their whole body on every level.

Our limbic brain forms part of a relationship between the  mind, our hormones and our nervous system, all constantly changing and  adapting in response to our bodies internal environment, and what is  going on in the world around us.

These body systems are working hard to maintain balance and  are responsible for our stress response.  A reflexology treatment with  Paula specifically targets reflexes associated in achieving homeostasis  within the body as well as giving a deeply relaxing and calming  experience, helping to release tension.

We often hold onto emotions.  We are what we think and feel.   So, when things have upset us it has an adverse effect on our health.   If we are feeling bad, its because there’s something we need to pay  attention to.

The Emotional Freedom Technique works on the meridian pathways  in our bodies. Just like blood flows through our veins, energy flows  through our bodies along pathways; it’s along these pathways that  acupressure points lie.

Disruption can occur in meridian pathways often affecting our  weakest point whether its our digestive system, nervous system, immune  system or sleep patterns.  Pushed down emotion then becomes projected  outward and can cause illness.

Some of the reasons people have sought Reflexology by Paula  are: bereavement, bullying, pre and post-surgery apprehension, chronic  health conditions and pain management, relationship or work  difficulties.

Youngsters and adults needing support with self-esteem and  confidence, emotional pain, trauma and help with historical events or  for managing everyday life.  Anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue, issues  surrounding food, depression and to take a breather,  having time to  just be.  Consider for yourself or someone you love; suitable for all  ages.

Paula is a member of the Association of Reflexologist's (AOR)  www.aor.org.uk and follows their conduct of conduct and ethics. She has  continuously expanded her skills and knowledge over the last 11 years  and offers unique modalities of reflexology.

Taster treatments and gift vouchers available.   Her website  has testimonials from some of her clients why not take a look, the  reviews speak for themselves.  www.reflexologybypaula.co.uk
