Hello and Welcome!

Iā€™m Dr Caroline Lloyd.Ā 

My passion is to helpĀ  people overcome their trauma history using this magnificent therapy called EMDR. Without the heavy load of trauma memories, people find they are able to live a more peaceful, fulfilling life - they sleep better, their relationships are closer and more calm and loving, they are more confident in their daily life and more able to negotiate difficulties that come up every day for all of us. I love witnessing the changes that happen when my clients first realise that they no longer are bound to the emotion of their memories. They stop being hyper vigilant, nightmares disappear, they can feel safe again. This is my joy and mission - to help as many people unburden from trauma as possible.Ā 

As a GP for over 25 years, I have seen a lot of the effects of trauma - ill health, poor sleep, addictions, depression and anxiety. I became interested in Mental Health early in my career. For some 20 years now I have also worked in Bariatric medicine, helping people lose weight, and my curiosity around food addiction led me further down the path of my mental health practice. I learned hypnosis to help my eating disordered clients, and finally enrolled in a Masters of Counselling. Whist doing my practical placement with a family violence organisation, I was introduced to trauma treatments and EMDR in particular, and was instantly hooked on the results my clients were enjoying. Since then it has become my passion and obsession! I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to beĀ  able to work with clients in such a fulfilling joyful way.Ā 

I look forward to meeting you and assisting you with your individual struggles.Ā
