Profile

My name is Allie Phipps and I specialise in helping people with anger, stress, anxiety, panic, depression, low self confidence, and many other problems.

I have over 20 years of experience, working in the NHS, latterly as a Specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, before concentrating on my independent practice. I work as a trainer, therapist, coach, and supervisor and I work with individuals, teams and organisations.

I work from a quite location, ideal for therapy and confidentiality, which is fairly central to the county, and just over half an hour away from Lincoln.

I have over 20 years of experience, working in the NHS, latterly as a Specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, before concentrating on my independent practice. I work as a trainer, therapist, coach, and supervisor and I work with individuals, teams and organisations.

I can offer therapy/counselling, including CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), and also Mindfulness training.  For your peace of mind I am a BABCP accredited therapist.

It can be difficuIt to know where to start and it is important to know that there is a way through whatever problems you may be having.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you.
