About Rex

Rex is an Osteopath, Cranial Osteopath and Kinesiologist with 30 years of experience. He works with people of all ages and with a wide range of concerns. Using gentle cranial techniques alongside structural osteopathy, he tailors each treatment to the individual. He always looks at the whole person, not just their symptoms.

At Tree of Life Centre, Rex also works as a trauma therapist, supporting people living with PTSD and Complex PTSD. Wanting to bring evidence-based approaches to this work, he completed a master's-level Postgraduate Diploma in Traumatology and PTSD. There he trained in a range of research-based therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Imagery Rescripting and Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). He then went on to complete an MSc in EMDR with Derek Farrell at the University of Worcester.

Rex has a particular interest in how the body is included in EMDR. This interest grows out of:

• Many years of clinical trauma work using hands-on techniques with people of all ages, including newborns

• Running personal growth groups with a strong focus on embodiment

• 40 years of martial arts, yoga and other embodiment practices

• Extensive experience of body-inclusive psychotherapies, including Hakomi, Bioenergetics and EMDR

This blend of hands-on and psychological expertise means Rex can offer trauma therapy that works with both mind and body.
