Transform your life with specialised evidence based accredited CBT & EMDR therapy. Break free from disordered eating, eating distress, trauma and neurodiversity struggles. It’s time you grabbed the freedom to live authentically on your own terms, without the weight of societal expectations.
Your life will look and feel different with a blend of proven therapy techniques and holistic practices. Working from the top down and from the inside out, I combine Western methods of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement & Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) with Eastern practices such as somatic movement, basic somatic experiencing exercises and mindfulness exercises. This leads to lasting, positive changes and you taking back your power.

You're not broken, society is...
Psychological distress is a natural response to a sick society that fundamentally tells us we are not good enough.
We live in a society that keeps us people pleasing, scrolling, procrastinating, numbing, soothing, doubting ourselves and seeking external validation through others or urges, compulsions addictive behaviour or habits.
Old systems and structures are no longer serving us and we need to return to a more natural way of living.
Societal conditioning affects us all differently.
Many of my clients suffer eating disorders, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, people pleasing and self sabotage. Some are in abusive relationships or dealing with difficult family dynamics.
Others simply lack the self worth needed to make decisions that would enable them to step outside of their comfort zone, go for their dreams and live life fully.

Hey, I'm Becky Grace
Having experienced the devastation of binge eating disorder, painkiller and exercise addiction since childhood, I have recovered through a combination of 'top down' Western based clinical evidence based CBT and more holistic, eastern based 'bottom up' somatic techniques including yoga and breathwork.
​
Now I help others to do the same.
​
My recovery spanned 5 years as I got to grips with the complexity of eating issues and the underlying complex trauma I have experienced. I was formally diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 35, I am self diagnosed with Autism. I struggled with ongoing compulsions, urges and habits of emotion driven over-eating.
My current thinking and interests are around the link of neurodiversity, sexuality and pleasure (or the absence of it) in many peoples lives.
​
Numbing, soothing, scrolling, dissociating out of difficult emotions and feelings - using food, sex, phone scrolling and work to disconnect ourselves from our bodies.
My lived experience of eating issues, anxiety and addiction over 30 years and my 14 year clinical experience as a Mental Health Nurse & CBT Therapist, allow me to have a breadth of knowledge and skills to see the full perspective of emotional and psychological distress, along with developing a 'trauma informed' - and also trauma trained approach to distress. I'm not a fan of unnecessary diagnoses and challenge the psychiatric model of mental illness in it's isolation. We are the product of our environments - that is biological, psychological and social in origin.
​
I'm a Norwich & online BABCP Accredited CBT & EMDR Therapist, former Mental Health Nurse & Yoga Teacher.
My mission is...
To free us all from old social conditioning so that we can recognise our self-worth, regain our autonomy & choices and return to our natural being, whilst creating new, healthier ways of being that allow people to thrive and not just survive.
My approach
I Combine Evidence based CBT & EMDR with Somatic Healing for Transformative Healing from the Inside-Out
We work together to change your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and emotions, whilst also healing triggers from the past by coming back into our bodies through somatic techniques.
​
I am formally CBT and EMDR trained, however, I practice in a much more relational and integrative way. This means I will use different tools in my toolkit to support you and I can be structured with you, but I prefer to exist in a relationship with you. I'm not a robotic NHS talking therapist. As a Mental Health Nurse, Biologist and Personal Trainer, I have always looked holistically at underlying physical difficulties and will name aspects such as the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and andropause with regards to hormonal impacts and the impact of nutrition, lifestyle and medication.
I aim to be direct and supportive, I tend to be more conversational with you rather than just allowing you to speak the whole session and me not saying much.
I won't keep you in therapy for longer than necessary (obviously if you want ongoing support that is fine), but I prefer to think of therapy as 'seasons', like a a Netflix series, you come for a season in your life, whatever that may be. I also like you to hear and read different perspectives from other sources, including other therapists. I am about collaboration and not competition. I won't just take your money for validation. I will sometimes challenge you and guide you towards your own meaning.
I take time over setting goals with people and like to move slowly, methodically and thoroughly through your experience.
Self-awareness is the start. When you become aware of your core beliefs and how they were formed, you can make more empowering choices in your life.

Imagine what is possible on the other side of your transformation...
