Our Team

Therapeutic Journeys is an independent practice with Community Interest status served by 9 committed child and adult counsellors and therapists. We offer therapeutic support to children, adolescents, teenagers, adults of all ages, people with special needs and families. At present we are responding to the Coronavirus pandemic by implementing widely researched and supported EMDR Early Intervention (EEI) and prevention therapies (R-TEP and G-TEP).

In addition to our regular work we are delivering pro bono trainings and therapy to front-line care, teaching, health and emergency professionals, both in the UK and in Latin America.

We are also supporting individuals, children, teenagers and parents affected by the pandemic. We are inviting donations to support our pro bono work.

Therapeutic Journeys prides itself in having a team that is highly motivated, supportive of each other and appreciative of each other’s backgrounds and models of work.  This means that we are able to offer key therapeutic approaches and put our resources together to serve the best interest of the individuals and families who contact us.
