CBT & EMDR Therapist

Kate Polkinghorne

I’m a fully accredited CBT therapist with extensive experience in EMDR and over ten years of experience working in the NHS. I have a special interest in helping people recover from trauma and post-traumatic stress, and I also support people with anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, OCD, panic, and phobias.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My aim is to offer a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s going on for you and find a way forward that feels right.

You are the expert in your own life, and I’ll work alongside you with care, curiosity, and compassion. I also supervise other CBT therapists and trainee psychologists at the University of Oxford, something I feel proud to do.
