Jacqueline Orme

Professional Profile

My name is Jackie and I am a fully qualified BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working with ThinkCBT in Harrogate and surrounding districts.

 I am trained in and deliver CBT, EMDR (eye movement destensitisation) and reprocessing), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) and CFT (compassion focused therapy). I also offer virtual reality CBT treatment which has a strong evidence base and can really enhance exposure based treatment as it simulates real life situations without having to face them straight away. 

I am a very commited practitioner. I believe in providing ethically sound, high quality psychotherapy with excellent outcomes. I am often available to provide between session encouragement; going the extra mile to make sure you feel safe and supported. You are not 'just a case', your recovery and wellbeing is of the utmost priority. 

I provide treatment nationwide remotely, although I am based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

I qualified as a CBT therapist in Sheffield in 2008 and began private practice alongside my NHS work, moving into full time independent practice when I took early retirement in July 2020. 

During my time in the NHS I undertook a key role in CBT service development and delivery in specialist services and even though I no longer work for the NHS I still teach and provide clinical supervision and consultancy on a regular basis to Sheffield Eating Disorder Service and Sheffield University Health Service. I have taught at conference for the Home Office and British Dental Association.  I have a 10 year specialist experience in treating eating disorders and a special interest in BDD (body dysmorphia and body image), relationship OCD and trauma. 

I also have extensive experience working with other disorders such OCD, ROCD, hyperawareness sensorimotor  OCD as well as PTSD, panic disorder, GAD, depression, social anxiety, OCD and chronic pain as well as many other anxiety disorders in my private practice.
