Masha Bennett

I have been working with people in a helping capacity since 2000. I specialise in treating trauma and post traumatic stress in both adults and children, and have completed a Master of Science programme in Therapeutic Practice for Psychological Trauma with Chester University in 2016. I am a UKCP Registered Neurolinguistic Psychotherapist, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, and a trainer in Integrative Sandplay Therapy and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). I also have some years of experience and extensive training in cognitive-behavioural therapy, hypno-psychotherapy, stress management (individual and corporate) and addiction treatment, and am continually working on improving my skills and flexibility in helping people heal and achieve their best potential.

I train both professionals and the general public in the UK and around the world (Russia, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and other countries) in Emotional Freedom Techniques (from introductory to advanced levels), trauma therapy, self-help tools, mental health awareness and other topics.

Please note that the way I work is currently changing from talking therapies to predominantly creative therapies (in particular Sandplay Therapy and Gong/Sound Healing), and I do not accept new clients for psychotherapy at the moment.
