Our Associates
Brightstone Clinic hand picks a small number of associates who compliment the work of our clinic. Associates are therapists who are well known to us and who we have worked with for a number of years. They are highly experienced and trusted practitioners who can offer therapeutic services that our in-house clinicians do not. So, on occasion, when you contact the clinic, we may refer you to one of our associates if we feel that they would be better qualified and suited to supporting your needs at this time.

Louise Jewkes
Accredited Member of the BACP
EMDR UK
Louise is an accredited member of the BACP who attained a Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. Louise's experience and education has given her a grounding in helping to create a safe space in which therapy is tailored to suit the client’s needs.
As a trainee therapist Louise worked for two local charities, working with children and young people aged between 5 and 19. This sparked an interest in attachment issues and developmental trauma. As a qualified therapist, Louise began to work with adults, as well as children, to help them to recover from childhood trauma.
Louise’s interest in working with trauma led her to do her basic training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitising and Reprocessing). Louise has used EMDR with a number of adult clients to help them recover from issues ranging from phobias to childhood trauma and PTSD. However Louise wished to continue working with children and young people and so decided to do her Child EMDR (Level 1) training.
One of Louise’s strengths is her ability to work creatively and to think outside the box to help clients to achieve their therapeutic goals. Louise often uses art as a means of helping clients to express their thoughts and feelings when words are not enough.
Louise is happy to offer either face-to-face sessions or online via Zoom.
