Edward Farrow
CBT Therapist & EMDR Practitioner

Are you looking for counselling, EMDR or CBT in the Towcester area?

If you are looking for an experienced and compassionate talking therapist to work through your issues such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other emotional well-being concerns, then I am here to help.

I have worked in various roles within mental health since 2014. I started my career working with traumatic and acquired brain injury both in rehabilitation and as an assistant social worker. Following this I gained my MA in Social Work and worked in inpatient mental health settings and addiction services. My work with significant mental health difficulties led me to train in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and inspired me to undertake my post graduate diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). As a CBT Therapist I have worked within NHS and 3rd Sector Talking Therapy services both in clinical and managerial positions.

My current specialism is working with PTSD, complex PTSD and the difficulties arising from living with long-term health conditions. I am also an experienced clinical supervisor offering supervision to trainee and qualified CBT Therapists.
