Iris Winkel

Iris Winkel is a trauma and EMDR psychotherapist, working for a charity called the Snowdrop Project as Counselling Manager since July 2020. She is responsible for developing and establishing the Snowdrop project counselling service based on the so-called bottom-up approach to trauma healing inspired by Bessel van der Kolk (book: “the body keeps the score”).

In addition to working for the Snowdrop project, Iris sees clients in her private practise and integrated IAPT services.

Iris’ experience and passion in complex trauma therapy began when she started working with childhood sexual abuse survivors in 2012, after graduating in integrative counselling and psychotherapy.

Iris is originally from the Netherlands where she was a Social Worker for Domestic Abuse Survivors but has lived in the United Kingdom over 20 years.
