Dr Megan Bowes
My Experience
I am a chartered health psychologist with experience across multiple NHS services including chronic pain, rheumatology, long covid and weight management. I specialise in EMDR therapy for trauma and helping individuals to adjust to long term conditions. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where we can make sense of any difficulties you are facing and develop practical ways to move forwards.
I have a particular interest in medical trauma, birth trauma and trauma following accidents or injuries. I understand trauma can impact every aspect of your life, I will support you to process difficult experiences, reduce associated distress and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
I currently specialise in:
- Anxiety (including health anxiety and general anxiety)
- Adjustment to chronic health conditions
- Loss and Grief
- Stress
- Trauma
I have worked with multiple chronic conditions including:
- Autoimmune conditions

My Values
I aim to provide a safe and compassionate space where we can explore your difficulties and together we can work towards unhooking from thoughts and behaviours that are holding you back. I adapt my sessions to suit each individual and to meet your unique needs.

I tailor my approach to the needs and goals of each individual, whilst drawing upon EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
