Hello, I'm Abi Finnegan and I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and neurofeedback practitioner. I have specialised in working with developmental trauma, Complex Trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, Dissociation, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, Autism, grief, traumatic grief, and chronic pain for over 20 years.
Experience, Training and Qualifications
I’m particularly interested in working with you to find new ways of understanding, managing and finding ways to resolve both the emotional and the physical symptoms of stress, distress and trauma. Some of the physical experiences you may have might include chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, back pain, headaches, circulatory problems and more
I offer psychotherapy that is integrative, and includes somatic trauma therapy, allowing a whole body approach to healing.
I understand that coming to see a psychotherapist can feel difficult and I hope to help you feel as comfortable as possible by working at your pace, and responding to your needs, in a way that's right for you. I offer sessions both online and face to face.
I hold an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy, and Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision, and I have worked in the field of Trauma and Complex Trauma for 20 years in various roles in the NHS, the Third Sector, and privately. I have also been a lecturer training other counsellors and psychotherapists.
Please do contact me on 07788910805, or using the email link to discuss how I may be able to support you.
I am registered with both the UKCP and BACP.
What is trauma informed psychotherapy?
What is trauma informed psychotherapy?
Trauma-Informed Integrative Psychotherapy offers an individualised approach recognising that everybody is different, and takes into account the impact of previous traumas, both known, and maybe unknown, or dis- associated from.
Working relationally, together we can explore how your life events have impacted you and your life emotionally, and also physically, creating a gentle space to move through some of the difficulties you may be experiencing.
I offer a combination of integrative psychotherapy, somatic trauma therapy, and neurofeedback, allowing a whole body approach to healing that is tailored to meet your needs.
I work with both young people (11 years +), and adults in a range of settings including face to face and online.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision
I have offered clinical supervision to both trainees and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists for the last 5 years in both groups and 1:1, offering a space to explore your practise, grounded in Hawkins and Shohet's 7-eyed model of clinical supervision, supporting an all round, multi dimensional way of thinking about your work. I am also an approved clinical supervisor for Edinburgh University and Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute.
I offer clinical supervision 1:1 and in groups and sessions can happen both in person and online in both Carlisle and Edinburgh.
I am presently undertaking advanced training with the Institute of Group Analysis. You may have experiences of supervision in groups and are looking to join a new group, or you might have no experience of this and be intrigued as to what it can offer. If this speaks to you and you’d like to know more please contact me abigail@cumbriapsychotherapy.com and we can arrange a time for a chat to discuss further.
My rates for clinical supervision are £85 per session.
