Dr Raquel Correia

Consultant clinical psychologist, EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant and CBT psychotherapist (BABCP accredited)

Are you struggling to move on from a frightening or distressing birth experience? Do memories still feel vivid, overwhelming or hard to control? Perhaps you feel anxious, tearful, on edge, guilty, disconnected, or just not like yourself?

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years' experience working in the NHS and private practice. I have extensive experience in supporting women following traumatic birth experiences, baby loss, fertility and reproductive trauma, and the emotional difficulties that can arise in the transition to motherhood.

I specialise in the treatment of birth trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), post-natal depression, anxiety, tokophobia (fear of childbirth), bereavement and loss, body image and self-esteem difficulties, and relationship and psychosexual difficulties. I also work with earlier traumatic experiences that may be triggered or reactivated by the birth process.

For some women, childbirth can involve feeling powerless, unheard, unsafe, or deeply frightened.

I provide a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can begin to process what happened and feel more in control again.

I use evidence-based therapies including EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring treatment to your individual needs and pace.

I am HCPC registered, Chartered with the British Psychological Society, and an accredited EMDR Consultant and CBT therapist.
