Welcome to DMD Talking Therapies

Hello! My name is Donna, I am so pleased you have visited my site today! I work as a private psychological therapist (this is not an NHS site) with 18 years’ experience working in primary care settings as well as within a busy hospital, in medical psychology. I have worked with many psychological symptoms over this time and have a keen interest in working with trauma. Using an attachment informed and compassionate approach my aim is to allow you to find a way through distress safely. The models of therapy I use are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), both having a strong evidence base. I work online, via Zoom, allowing you to be in the comfort of your home. As a requirement of my training, I have had my own EMDR therapy and am aware therapy can be daunting. As a therapist, I too felt nervous about meeting someone for the first time. To make sure you feel comfortable starting therapy I do offer a free 15-minute (no obligation) Zoom session so you can meet me and ask me any questions about therapy and share with me what you would like to work on. I look forward to hearing from you.
