Jacqui Marquis-Conder

Director and Psychologist

Treatment Approach

I prioritise building trust through warm, individualised care – sessions feel collaborative and are provided in a safe therapeutic environment.  You’ll find me genuinely curious about your unique story. Where words fall short, we might use art materials, sand tray work, or even Tilly’s calming presence to engage your whole brain.

Qualifications and Experience

I have advanced training in EMDR Therapy, an evidence-based approach recommended by the World Health Organisation for trauma recovery. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps your brain reprocess distressing memories while building new neural connections – think of it as “updating” how your nervous system responds to past events.

My EMDR training is deepened by dual qualifications in Clinical Art & Play Therapy and Animal-Assisted Interventions. This allows us to:
  • 🧠 Address Underlying Causes: Reprocess traumatic memories using EMDR’s structured 8-phase protocol
  • 🎨 Bypass Verbal Barriers: Use art and play techniques when words feel inadequate or unsafe to express
  • 🐶 Lower Session Anxiety: Optional co-regulation with Tilly, my trained therapy dog
