Restore Emotional Balance with CBT and EMDR Therapy from Kezia Mathieson in Hilton, Derbyshire
Life can bring experiences that feel difficult to process alone. Ongoing stress, anxiety, traumatic memories, and overwhelming emotions can gradually impact confidence, relationships, sleep, and everyday wellbeing.
Finding the right support can provide the opportunity to understand your experiences, develop healthier ways of coping, and move forward with greater clarity and emotional strength.
At Ora – The Wellbeing Company, Kezia Mathieson provides professional CBT and EMDR therapy from Willow House, Hilton, offering a private and supportive environment where clients can focus on their emotional wellbeing.
With more than 15 years of experience across NHS and private healthcare settings, Kezia combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with warmth, compassion, and understanding.
Her personalised approach helps clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and develop practical tools to manage emotional challenges in everyday life.
Understanding CBT and EMDR Therapy
Kezia offers two clinically recognised approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Both therapies are designed to support emotional wellbeing by helping individuals understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences while developing new ways to respond to challenges.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT explores the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Difficult experiences can sometimes create patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or feelings of being overwhelmed.
Through CBT, Kezia supports clients to:
Identify unhelpful thinking patterns
Understand emotional responses and triggers
Develop practical coping techniques
Build confidence when facing challenges
Create healthier responses to difficult situations
CBT provides practical strategies that can be used beyond the therapy room, helping clients feel more empowered in managing everyday life.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a structured therapeutic approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences that may still feel emotionally overwhelming.
Through guided techniques and bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to process difficult experiences, reducing the emotional impact they continue to have.
EMDR can support individuals experiencing:
Trauma and PTSD symptoms
Intrusive memories
Anxiety connected to past experiences
Distressing emotional reactions
Unresolved difficult memories
Kezia ensures therapy progresses at a comfortable pace, creating a safe and supportive environment throughout the process.
Supporting Adults Through Emotional Challenges
Everyone’s experiences are different, and therapy should reflect each person’s individual circumstances. Kezia provides personalised support for adults facing a wide range of emotional challenges.
Clients may seek support for:
Anxiety, panic, and intrusive thoughts
Birth trauma and postnatal emotional difficulties
Pregnancy-related anxiety
Fertility challenges, PCOS, and endometriosis-related emotional concerns
Low confidence and self-esteem
Grief, depression, and emotional overwhelm
Trauma affecting everyday life
Whether you are navigating a recent experience or working through challenges that have been present for many years, Kezia offers a compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgement.
Therapy is not about rushing change. It is about understanding yourself, developing resilience, and creating meaningful steps forward.
