Emma Davie

Professional Profile

I am a registered BABCP CBT therapist.   I have academic qualifications Psychology (BSC)  an MA  in Social work and a Post Graduate Diploma in CBT. I am trained to work with both adults and children using CBT.  In addition I am trained in compassion focused therapy and I am qualified to deliver Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).

​

Before CBT I worked as a child protection social worker and then a social worker supporting looked after children. I feel this strengthens my ability to support harder to reach children. 

I then went on to work within a CAMHS team, moving to management of the service whilst keeping my hand into clinical work ( my passion). Once trained as a CBT therapist I expanded to working with adults as well as young people.

My experience to date mainly includes working with adults and children who are experiencing a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety disorders (e.g., health anxiety, OCD, generalised anxiety disorder), low mood and  post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Previously managing and working within a CAMHS service I have experience of working with children and young people and I enjoy working creatively with young people and families so that the therapies I provide are useful and accessible.  

I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches and offer evidence-based treatment that is tailored to meet the needs of the clients I work with.  These approaches include; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR (in training), compassion focused Theraoy and Mindfulness. I am trained to diagnose autism with both adults and children so am confident in identifying neurodiversity challenges.
