The BiG Scuba Podcast

In this episode join us in conversation with Dr. Laura Walton. Laura is a UK-based clinical psychologist, scuba diving instructor, and the founder of Fit To Dive, an organization dedicated to promoting mental, physical, and psychological fitness for divers.

With a background in both psychology and diving, Laura specialises in helping divers manage and overcome challenges such as anxiety, trauma, and phobias related to diving. I am an EMDR UK Accredited Practitioner, and uses approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support divers in navigating their psychological barriers.

Fit To Dive is about helping divers look after their physical, and psychological fitness for diving. There are a range of services, including therapy for those who have experienced distressing or traumatic diving incidents, coaching to overcome mental blocks, and courses aimed at enhancing diving skills and confidence.
