Foster Growth Therapy
Nottingham, Derby & Online
Compassionate and focused therapy to help you overcome anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem or emotional overwhelm
“…everyday life experiences, such as relationship problems or unemployment, can produce just as many, and sometimes even more, symptoms of PTSD.”
(Francine Shapiro)
Hello, I’m Lynda Foster – a psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and EMDR therapist – working across Nottingham, Derby, and online.
Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious or not good enough but you’re unsure of why. Maybe you struggle to control your emotions or say no in relationships.
In practice I notice that challenges like anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, or difficulties in relationships – are often linked to tough things experienced as a child or adult.
In therapy, I work with you to gently uncover how life experiences affect you today.
Through our work you can begin to feel calmer, able to tolerate emotions and manage your responses, address fears about the future, and feel equipped to move forwards.
My approach includes evidence-based EMDR therapy and other techniques. EMDR is a psychotherapy that helps you to process emotions and experiences.
