Trauma Informed Counsellor and EMDR Therapist
Specialising in Anxiety, Trauma & Low Self Worth
Watford Town Centre | Online Across the UK
Welcome
Life can become heavy in ways we never expected. You might be carrying the impact of painful experiences, anxiety that won’t switch off, or a constant inner critic that leaves you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. If you’re here, it’s likely that something inside you is calling for support, for ease, or simply for a space to breathe.
I’m Roxanne Bigwood, a Person-Centred Counsellor and EMDR Therapist. I offer a warm, safe, and compassionate space where you can show up exactly as you are — without judgement, pressure, or the need to “hold it all together.”
In our work together, you’ll be met with understanding, empathy, and curiosity. My goal is to walk alongside you as you begin to release what’s been weighing you down and reconnect with your inner strength, resilience, and sense of self.
Therapy Tailored to You
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, overwhelm, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Alongside person-centred counselling, I also offer EMDR Therapy, which can be especially effective for:
Trauma and PTSD
Distressing or intrusive memories
Anxiety and panic
Emotional triggers
Long-standing patterns shaped by past experiences
EMDR helps your mind and body process what has happened so painful memories lose their intensity and stop interfering with your present.
Beginning Your Journey
Clients often share that as therapy progresses, they feel:
Calmer and more grounded
Less controlled by anxiety
More confident setting boundaries
Better able to trust themselves
More connected to who they truly are
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken. It’s about helping you build a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself, easing the pain of the past, and supporting you to live more fully in the present.
If this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to support you.
Please get in touch to book a session or ask any questions.
About Roxanne
About Me
Hello, I’m Roxanne
I’m a trauma informed Counsellor and EMDR Therapist, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, warm, and understanding space where people can explore their experiences and begin to heal.
My approach is grounded in the belief that every person has an inner capacity for growth and resilience — sometimes it just needs the right conditions to emerge. Therapy offers exactly that: a place where you’re truly heard, supported, and understood.
My Therapeutic Approach
Person-Centred Counselling
This approach places you at the heart of the therapy process. I listen deeply and compassionately, without judgement, to help you feel safe enough to explore your feelings, experiences, and hopes at your own pace.
You won’t be told who you “should” be. Instead, we gently uncover who you are and what you need to feel more whole, authentic, and connected.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy for trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. It supports the brain’s natural healing process so past experiences no longer trigger overwhelming reactions in the present.
Clients often describe EMDR as transformative — helping them find relief and freedom after years of feeling stuck.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
People I work with often say they feel:
Truly listened to and understood
Safe to express emotions they’ve never shared before
Less weighed down by the past
More confident in themselves
Empowered to make choices that honour their needs
I care deeply about creating a space where you don’t feel alone with what you’re carrying. Therapy with me is collaborative, gentle, and grounded in respect for your journey.
