Donna Seddon-Butland (my pronouns are she/her)

I have worked for 40 years in the NHS as well as private practice as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, a Cognitive Behavioural and EMDR Therapist. My experience also covers working in a GP surgery as Practice Counsellor/Psychiatric Liaison Nurse, a Community Mental Health Nurse and in the Psychological Therapies Service as a therapist. I was the trust lead in Somerset for women's issues and developed and delivered training in domestic abuse, safeguarding and childhood sexual abuse. I was alsoTrust lead for veterans' mental health in Somerset before joining South West Veterans Mental Health, and NHSE specialist TILS and Complex Treatment Service in 2016 (previously South West Veterans Mental Health Service now OP Courage) as a Clinical Nurse Specialist providing assessment and treatment to military veterans, including PTSD. I have always been passionate about my work, advocating for people unable to do so for themselves, I seek to help people heal and find their own voice, which in turn, helps towards taking the next steps, leading to a more emotionally healthy life. After retiring from the NHS I chose to focus my practice on EMDR.

I hold insurance to practice. I undertake individual and group clinical supervision, and attend regular CPD events in order to maintain a high standard of clinical preclude.
