Malin Sellden

I'm a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and accredited EMDR and CBT therapist, with over 20 years' experience in the NHS, higher education and private practice.

Many of the people who come to see me are used to handling a lot of stress and responsibility, and appear to cope well on the surface. Underneath, they may feel anxious and exhausted, find it difficult to switch off, and be very critical of themselves. Some struggle in relationships, or feel that despite everything they have achieved, something isn't quite right.

Others seek me out for my expertise in EMDR and trauma, an area I'm passionate about and have trained in extensively. I'm also an accredited CBT Therapist, with particular experience in anxiety and depression, and I draw on several approaches to help people understand and change longstanding patterns in how they feel, think and relate to others.

You may know exactly where a difficulty comes from and what you'd like to do differently, and still feel the same. EMDR can help by working with the underlying beliefs and experiences that keep it in place, so that they loosen their hold on the present.

I see therapy as more than a way of managing struggles. It can be a space to get to know yourself, to lighten the weight of the past, and to choose how you want to live. What I value most in this work is watching people become freer: less bound by old patterns, more at ease with themselves, and more able to shape a life that feels like theirs.
