Hello, I'm Abi Finnegan and I am a Trauma Informed Integrative Psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, neurofeedback practitioner and trainer. I specialise in developmental trauma, Complex Trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, Dissociation, "personality disorders", grief, traumatic grief, chronic pain, anxiety and low mood.
Experience, Training and Qualifications
I’m particularly interested in helping you find new ways of understanding, managing and sometimes resolving 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 work 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 am also a Teaching Fellow at Edinburgh University where I train 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.
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.
My supervision practice is very much an extension of my psychotherapy practice and like all my offerings is couched within a trauma informed framework, offering specialist supervision to help deepen and develop you practice. I offer clinical supervision that is collaborative, working with you to create a way of establishing a supervisory relationship that is both supportive and challenging.
I hold a monthly group supervision online and if you are interested in joining this please be in touch.
I welcome established counsellors and psychotherapists, and also training and newly qualified counsellors. Please do get in touch if you would like to explore working with me.
