What Therapy with Me Looks Like

Are you looking for compassionate, specialist support that helps you make sense of your emotions, patterns, and past experiences—without feeling pathologised or pressured into a one-size-fits-all approach?

​

I’m Becky Grace, a BABCP-accredited CBT and EMDR therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse offering online and in-person sessions.

This page answers a question I’m often asked:

​

“What does working with you actually look like?”

​

Who I Work With

 

I work with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create lasting change.

Many of my clients are:

• Neurodivergent (ADHD or Autism), often with overlapping trauma, burnout, or emotional regulation difficulties

• Living with the after-effects of trauma, complex childhood experiences, or relational wounds

• Struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or chronic self-criticism

• Experiencing emotional eating, binge eating, ARFID, or other eating difficulties that are linked to trauma, sensory sensitivities, or neurodiversity

• Navigating midlife changes or identity transitions—such as perimenopause, career shifts, or relationship changes

​

You don’t have to fit neatly into a diagnosis to work with me.

If you’re someone who feels “too much,” “too sensitive,” or just tired of holding it all together, this is the space for you.

​

My Background and Approach

​

Before starting my private practice, I worked in NHS adult mental health services, including an Eating Disorders Service supporting people with complex and high-risk presentations.

That experience taught me that healing is rarely linear—and that real change happens when therapy honours the whole person: mind, body, and nervous system.

​

I’m trained in:

• Accredited CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) for a range of mental health difficulties

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for trauma and attachment wounds

• CBT-E and CBT-AR, evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and ARFID but delivered in an individualised way.

• Body-based and sensory-informed approaches, drawing from my background as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, Yoga Teacher, and Personal Trainer

• Introduction to Somatic Experiencing

• Currently in accreditation process for EMDR

• Working towards Sensory Integration

​

This blend allows me to work flexibly—integrating evidence-based tools with compassion, curiosity, and attention to your lived experience.

​

A Holistic, Person-Centred Approach

​

Therapy with me isn’t about ticking boxes or fitting into a model.
It’s about understanding why certain patterns developed, how they’ve helped you survive, and what you need now to truly thrive.

​

We might use:

​

• CBT to explore thoughts, behaviours, and emotional patterns

• EMDR to process memories or beliefs that keep you stuck

• Sensory and body-based techniques to help you feel safer and more connected in your body

• Practical tools for emotional regulation, boundaries, and nervous system support

• Nutritional and behavioural strategies to support regular eating and body reconnection, where relevant

​

Every plan is tailored collaboratively—guided by your goals, your values, and your capacity.

​

What to Expect

​

Here’s a general overview of what therapy together often looks like:

​

1–2 Sessions: Assessment
We explore your history, current challenges, and what brings you to therapy. I’ll also assess for trauma, dissociation, and neurodivergent traits so we can understand your experience holistically.

​

1–2 Sessions: Collaborative Goal Setting
We create meaningful, achievable goals that reflect what you want from therapy—not just symptom relief, but deeper change.

​

Early Sessions: Building Safety and Understanding
We focus on stabilisation, regulation, and insight—developing tools that help you feel grounded and supported as we begin to make sense of patterns and emotions.

​

Middle Phase: Working with Patterns and Beliefs
This stage often includes exploring relationships, trauma memories, self-criticism, perfectionism, or coping strategies such as restrictive eating, bingeing, or emotional avoidance. EMDR or other trauma-focused methods may be used when appropriate.

​

Ongoing Work: Integration and Growth
As therapy progresses, we focus on integrating new ways of being—helping you live more authentically, trust your intuition, and sustain emotional and physical balance.

​

Throughout, the process remains collaborative and flexible. We adjust as your needs evolve.

​

You Don’t Need to Be in Crisis

Many of my clients come because they’re not in crisis—but they’re ready for something deeper.
They want to move beyond survival, beyond over-functioning, and towards a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and calm.
