Mrs Akila Vanat

Psychotherapist

“Qualified compassionate cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, EMDR therapist”

About Me

I guide individuals through challenges using compassionate cognitive behavioural psychotherapy and EMDR. Perhaps you're seeking practical strategies to manage thoughts and feelings. Or maybe you need support processing difficult past experiences. I offer a focused approach. We can work together to understand patterns and build resilience. My aim is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can develop new ways to move forward.

Approach

Holding both cognitive-behavioural and EMDR training, I focus sessions on clear steps, steady pacing and attentive collaboration so you feel guided rather than overwhelmed. I see adults from Nottingham and online, and I build brief between-session tasks or grounding practices when they help maintain progress. Therapy blends practical skill-building for anxiety or low mood with contained, paced processing of difficult memories, adjusting tempo to your tolerance. People seeking a structured, compassionate route to change often find this way of working suits them.
