Jo Hill

(BSc, MSc, PGCert, PGDip)

Accredited CBT Therapist, EMDR Therapist & CAT Practitioner

About Me

Jo is accredited by BABCP and PSA as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), CBT supervisor and Cognitive Analytic Practitioner under ACAT with many years’ experience of providing therapeutic interventions for mental health difficulties. She has also achieved her qualification in EMDR.

 

Jo has spent a lot of her career working within primary care NHS and criminal justice settings, using these therapies to help treat depression and a range of anxiety disorders.

Another key area of work is with those experiencing low self-esteem and feelings of anxiety and shyness in social situations.


Some people find they prefer individual therapy so they can discuss their difficulties privately, whereas others find they benefit from group sessions so they can hear others experiences and feel they are not alone in their difficulties.

Kerry Elden

Child & Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

About Me

Kerry is a qualified child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor and has provided one to one therapeutic support to many children, young people and their families over the course of twenty plus years.

She has a particular interest in working directly with parents and their children where there has been trauma and children’s services involvement. Helping families understand the patterns of behaviours they have found themselves using to manage very stressful situations, but that are often no longer useful and instead disruptive in their lives, Kerry finds it incredibly rewarding to see families communicating and supporting each other by the time they have completed their work together.

Kerry also has attended training in Dyadic developmental psychotherapy, Theraplay and mentalization, which has given her a good understanding of how to work with children and their parents and brings together attachment theory, what we understand about developmental trauma, the neurobiology of trauma, attachment and caregiving, intersubjectivity theory and child development.

Kerry’s postgraduate diploma and master’s degree training in child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counselling specialised in the aims, processes and skills of working therapeutically with children and young people through an emphasis on working through play and with the arts. Other significant strands included child and adolescent development, clinical skills, professional issues, ethics and child safe-guarding, child mental health, developing children’s emotional well-being, including developmental trauma, working with children’s contexts, networks and families, multi-agency work, working in a school setting, fostering, adoption and working with groups.  The core theoretical model is integrative, relational, developmental, and eco-systemic, which means working in a way that brings together elements from different theories to make a coherent whole. Kerry has found this to be invaluable in enabling her to work with people in a more individualised way which matches to each child, young person and family’s needs rather than adhere to one particular theory or model.

Kerry has a passion for keeping families together wherever possible and helping children and young people feel heard and safe in order to process difficult experiences. She has provided training and skills sessions and consultations to professionals such as social workers, teachers, health care, as well as parents, in all aspects of trauma informed work, including domestic abuse, bereavement and loss, developmental trauma, attachment and psycho education.

Chloe Savage

Osteopath

About Me

Why I work in this area of wellness?

When asked about why I am an osteopath, I always say its because I saw an osteopath when I was doing my GCSEs. I went for headaches, he released the tension in my neck and this seemed to cure the problem. From that moment on, I was hooked on the idea of osteopathy. However, that’s how I got into osteopathy but now I stay in the field and work with wellness because of different reasons. I work in this field because I love what I do. The satisfaction of seeing someone walk out of my clinic room standing upright after they hobbled in, or hearing from exhausted parents that after their baby’s treatment, they slept for a good chunk of time, will never get old. But I also love educating and helping people understand their bodies: from exploring how certain aspects of their life can impact how they use their bodies, how they can improve their posture, or how we can reassure parents that their baby is normal, and if we assist with their baby’s feeding mechanics, this can improve pain on breastfeeding for Mum as well as potentially reduce the impact of wind/unsettledness as well. I strive to never underestimate the effect of being able to spend a decent amount of time, listening to and talking with people who are in pain. It’s something that unfortunately, the NHS just isn’t in a position to offer and I feel it’s a very privileged position to be in. This is why I love what I do and this is why I continue to work in the field of wellness. Going forward, I am always looking to improve my skills or explore how else I can help those I work with.

As osteopaths, we find your aches, pains and tensions and remove them, to allow you to function at your best.

You may (or may not) be aware that there are lots of different approaches to osteopathy, this tends to come down to a personal’s interest or experience in the work place. I graduated in 2015 and worked solely using massage and manipulations to help people be able to move better and reduce their pain. However I discovered paediatric osteopathy soon after and delved into this field. When treating babies and children, you can’t use the typical approaches you seen on YouTube (Insert clip of someone in an awkward position and multiple clicking joints later). Instead, you have to rely on alternative techniques which work on different tissues, enter: fascia. The fascial system is a system that has only recently been recognised. Fascia is a connective tissue that covers our entire body. We wouldn’t be able to stand up without it. It holds our organs in certain places and helps us to move. More and more, practitioners who work with fascia have reported the benefits of treating and releasing a person’s fascia and a releasing of emotions. Although not clinically proven, we are starting to see the benefits of a person’s mental wellbeing when fasica and deep rooted tension are built up in fascia, is released. If you’ve read “The body keeps the score” by Bessel Van De Kolk, you’ll know what I mean.

In my practice, I work with a vast range of patients and wouldn’t be lying if I said I always treated the fascia in each and every patient. This varies from treating the deep fascia within the torso to help with posture to releasing fascial tension in a baby’s neck from torticollis. The effects of working with fascia are tremendous and I feel we have only just scratched the surface of it’s potential.

Sandra Sadler

Senior Business Support

About Me

Sandra’s career in administration began when she joined leading pharmaceutical company Fisons as an office junior, working her way up to secretary to the Investments Department. After having a family, Sandra wanted to give something back to the community and became a volunteer on a local playgroup committee. 

Her interest in helping people continued when she worked for the charity Crossroads providing assistance for those caring for family members with varying conditions of mental and physical disabilities such as dementia, Parkinsons disease, stroke, cerebral palsy, autism etc.   Sandra set up packages of care to allow carers to have a well-deserved break from their responsibilities.  Sandra found this role very humbling, knowing what people were dealing with 24/7. 

Sandra then went on to work for Victim Support, aiding those who had been victims of crimes by allocating a volunteer who would offer support and help them gain the coping skills required to deal with the personal impact that ensues such incidents.    

An opportunity arose to work in the NHS mental health service in 2001.  Since that time Sandra has worked in the Secure Services care group as secretary, PA, deputy business support manager and senior management team administrator.  

With over 30 years working within the Mental Health arena, Sandra provides an essential part of Eudaemonia’s Business, supporting our clinicians and clients to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience.
