Dr. Maria Tucknott and her team offer a range of high quality therapy to adults (aged 18+) who are struggling with a range of difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Initially it was just me (Dr Maria Tucknott) offering talking therapy and counselling in Hertford to adults (aged 18+). But in the last year, the team has grown with the addition of three more highly skilled clinical and counselling psychologists. We are committed to offering fast and easy access to the right support with the right psychologist. I have written a really short blog to summarise what we work with and the types of therapies on offer.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a powerful approach for recovering from trauma and distressing memories. With Dr Tucknott's gentle guidance, clients can find relief from their symptoms as they work on reprocessing their difficult experiences.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR intensives accelerate the EMDR therapy process because several months of therapy is condensed into a few days. This means that EMDR intensives are focused, in-depth and immersive. Dr Maria Tucknott can offer this online or in-person in Hertford.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
IFS is a therapeutic approach designed to help people explore and heal their internal emotional landscape. It has been shown to be effective for many difficulties such as trauma, complex trauma, anxiety and depression. Dr Maria Tucknott often combines EMDR and IFS therapy together.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr Maria Tucknott helps individuals embrace their emotions and thoughts, enabling them to better work through life's challenges. She guides clients to develop greater psychological flexibility, empowering them to cope even in the face of difficulties.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a nurturing approach that helps clients to develop self-compassion and understanding. Dr Maria Tucknott and Dr Ann Kilanska can help individuals transform their self-criticism into self-kindness by adopting a gentle inner dialogue that promotes emotional healing and personal growth.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals improve their mental well-being by focusing on their relationships and social interactions. Candice Vermooten is an accredited IPT Therapist offering this approach.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an approach which focuses on proactively changing negative thought patterns and behaviours. Clients can learn to reframe challenges, developing practical strategies which promote emotional wellbeing and equip them with the tools needed to manage life's ups and downs.
Dr Maria Tucknott's psychological services are built on expertise and creating a safe, contained and nurturing space so that you can work on whatever has brought you to therapy now. Common areas of difficulty that Dr Maria Tucknott and her team works with are:
