Fay Kalapoda
BSc (Hons), MSc, PGDipCBT, MAREBT, BABCP Accred., EMDR Europe Accred.
BABCP Accredited CBT therapist and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner
Fay is an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience across higher education, NHS services, GP settings and forensic environments.
She offers structured, collaborative one-to-one psychotherapy within a calm and compassionate therapeutic space. Her work is outcome-informed and guided by NICE recommendations, with treatment tailored to each individual’s needs.
Fay specialises in anxiety disorders. She integrates CBT and REBT with third-wave approaches including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused therapy (CFT). Patients commonly report a meaningful reduction in anxiety symptoms, alongside greater confidence in managing their thoughts, emotions and behavioural patterns independently.
She also has a particular interest in trauma-focused work. Using EMDR, Fay supports individuals with PTSD and cPTSD in processing distressing memories and longstanding patterns, enabling past experiences to lose their intensity and influence. Patients frequently describe reduced flashbacks, nightmares and dissociation, as well as a renewed sense of stability and direction.
Fay holds degrees in Applied Biology and Psychology, Master’s qualifications in Health Psychology and REBT, and a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT. She has also completed all three parts of the EMDR Europe accredited training. She is a member of BABCP, AREBT and the EMDR Association UK and adheres to their code of ethics. She also serves as the Honorary Secretary of the Association of REBT and is a Fellow of Higher Education.
