Profile

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy aims at reducing emotion distress by developing alternative thoughts and behaviours about difficult life situations. This in turn leads to a change in emotions, or the intensity of their impact. By developing flexible attitudes and behaviours you can cope more effectively, now and in the future. These skills build resilience to manage challenges. They are transferrable.

The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT as the psychological treatment of choice for many presenting difficulties. 

I have a special interest in building self esteem and working with enduring issues. 

I have worked for 14 years as a counsellor and psychotherapist in both primary health care and private settings. This has equipped me with a broad range of knowledge and expertise in many difficult areas. Our work together would be a partnership, tailored to your specific needs. I subscribe to the BACP, UKRC and BABCP code of ethics.
