Find Emotional Balance with Kezia Mathieson: CBT and EMDR Therapy in Hilton, Derbyshire
As we settle into a new month, it's a good time to check in with your mental wellbeing. If life has felt emotionally heavy, or if you are navigating anxiety, trauma, or self-esteem challenges, you are not alone. Support is available to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more in control.
At Ora – The Wellbeing Company, Kezia Mathieson offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR therapy from Willow House in Hilton, providing a warm, professional space where emotional healing begins. With over 15 years of experience in both the NHS and private practice, Kezia combines clinical expertise with genuine empathy to support adults through a wide range of personal struggles.
Understanding CBT and EMDR Therapy
CBT and EMDR are established, evidence-based therapies proven to help people recover from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress.
CBT helps you explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. By identifying unhelpful patterns and developing healthier responses, you can manage challenges more effectively and gain confidence in your coping abilities.
EMDR enables the brain to reprocess painful experiences that still feel emotionally charged. Through guided eye movements or sensory input, the therapy reduces the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and helps restore emotional balance.
Both approaches are structured, compassionate, and highly effective for people seeking deeper, lasting change.
Who Can Benefit from Therapy with Kezia
Kezia supports adults dealing with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:
Recovery from trauma using CBT and EMDR
Perinatal mental health issues such as birth trauma, anxiety during pregnancy, and postnatal depression
Reproductive health-related challenges, including fertility struggles, PCOS, and endometriosis
Generalised anxiety, OCD, low self-worth, and phobias
Depression and emotional overwhelm
Her therapy sessions are always tailored to the individual, helping clients better understand themselves, build practical coping tools, and take steps toward positive, lasting growth.
A Therapist Who Truly Understands

Her clients value the warmth and perspective she offers, knowing they are being supported by someone who truly understands what they are going through.
She holds a BSc in Mental Health Nursing and a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy from the University of Derby.
