LET'S WORK WITH
CHALLENGING FEELINGS
At Emotion Clinic Notting Hill, we offer specialist EMDR and psychotherapy for adults and couples looking for a thoughtful, discreet and clinically grounded approach.
Many of the people we work with appear to be coping on the outside, but internally things may feel more unsettled, overwhelming, or stuck.
I bring extensive experience from both the NHS and private practice, and offer bespoke therapy integrating EMDR, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and CBT.
I work closely with Josie Geddes, and as part of a wider network of trusted therapists and psychiatrists, so we can think carefully about what will support you best.
Sessions are available in person in Notting Hill, London, and online.
I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist based in Notting Hill, London, with over 20 years' experience across the NHS, private practice and international settings.
I specialise in EMDR therapy, including attachment-focused EMDR and the Flash Technique, alongside CBT and Emotion Focused Therapy. I work with individuals and couples, often supporting complex trauma, emotional regulation difficulties and relationship problems.
My approach is active and experiential, helping you work directly with difficult emotions in the moment, using methods such as EMDR, chair work and body-focused techniques to support meaningful change.
My background in clinical psychology means I have a strong foundation in evidence-based approaches, neuroscience and the overlap between medical and psychological symptoms. My approach is science-based but integrates innovative approaches, always with my clients' needs in the centre of my planning.
In addition to the HCPC, I am registered with the BABCP, EMDRIA International, ISEFT and The Flash Technique. In Germany, I am qualified as a Psychological Psychotherapist, and therefore licensed as a doctor.
Emotion Clinic Notting Hill is run by myself and Josie Geddes, a CBT and EMDR therapist with profound experience in complex emotional needs around trauma, addiction and personality disorders.
Josie and I are both highly trained EMDR practitioners, with advanced training in attachment-focused EMDR, the Flash Technique, and the use of EFT, CBT and EMDR for complex trauma, OCD, relationship difficulties and personality-related presentations and work closely with a network of trusted EMDR specialists, couple therapists and psychiatrists.
EVA'S PRACTICE
HOW WE WORK AT EMOTION CLINIC NOTTING HILL:
For me, psychotherapy is about helping you have more options in how you respond to yourself, your emotions, and others. Emotions are not random—they follow patterns that can be understood and changed. In therapy, we slow things down enough to notice what is happening, make sense of it, and begin to shift it.
Approaches like EMDR, CBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (developed by Les Greenberg) all support this in different ways, but they share a common aim: helping you become aware of automatic reactions, pause them, and try something new. Over time, this creates more flexibility, more choice, and a different experience of yourself.
The relationship we build in therapy is central to the work, but not just as a sense of safety—more as a space for authenticity, openness, and honesty. Rather than staying at the level of talking about situations, we pay close attention to what happens between us in the moment. This allows us to gently “zoom in” on relational patterns as they unfold, making them visible and workable.
This kind of focus helps you learn how you relate to others—how you trust, where you hold back, and how connection forms or breaks down. Approaches influenced by clinicians such as Terry Real emphasise that change happens through experiencing something different in relationship, not just talking about it.
Over time, this creates the possibility to relate with more clarity, openness, and choice—both in therapy and outside of it.

“I was very lost when I reached out to Eva 1 1/2 years ago. She has helped me in ways I can't describe and I'm very grateful to her. Together with her I have found ways to heal and come back to myself. Her techniques are amazing and have helped me re-wire non-serving patterns and behaviours."
C.T.
"Eva is a very dedicated and genuine therapist. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cared about me and wanted to help, which as a client puts you immediately at ease. Her emotion-focused therapy found unique ways to look at the problems I was experiencing, while the EMDR helped me work through some acute situations that had been holding me back. Eva's insightful and sensitive approach helped me through a difficult time."
