FORTITUDE


Carolyn Langlands
EMDR Accredited Consultant Supervisor
BACP Accredited Psychotherapist
I am an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR Consultant Supervisor. I have many years of therapy and supervision experience and foster a compassionate approach to supervision; I enjoy the formative aspect of supervision and I prefer to take a nurturing and scaffolding approach to the learning aspects of supervision.
​
When embarking on trauma work with a client, I take a compassionate and collaborative approach my view is that trauma recovery is a journey for the client and that as a therapist I will be alongside my client on that journey at their pace. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship and atunement is essential for successful trauma recovery. I will bring patience, kindness and the ability to connect with you effectively.

My Experience
I have been a psychotherapist since 2005 and trained in EMDR therapy in 2016. I have developed a specialism in working with trauma in children, young people and adults in various settings. Including voluntary organisations in London supporting vulnerable adults in the community, a London secondary school as a counsellor and child protection officer, and a college setting. I have worked in senior positions such as leading a counselling department in Hampshire, which entailed providing therapy for young people and supervision for therapists and child protection staff.
I have worked in private practice as a therapist and supervisor since 2010. I have experience in working across a variety of difficulties, however, since completing my trauma training I have developed high levels of experience in working with people who have been through traumatic events. I have been involved in training various Police Constabularies across the country alongside the College of Policing and rehabilitation work. I have NHS and private practice experience as an EMDR therapist and consultant supervisor, where I run supervision groups and am involved in training other EMDR therapists in the service.
