Profile

I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and can also work psychodynamically or integratively. I work with adults and have a particular interest and skills in tailoring my work to whichever problem you present with. There is a tendency currently in the therapy profession to provide diagnostic labels (panic, anxiety, trauma, etc.) which is helpful in guiding the work, and I am trained to work with these. In the end most of what we are all struggling with is concerned with relationships (with yourself and/or others), day to day living, achieving cherished goals or deciding how you would like to live. I have skills in working with:

Stress
Pain management, health issues
Problems at work, redundancy
Relationships issues
Low mood, generalized anxiety, health anxiety
Panic, Post traumatic stress disorder
Specific phobia, social phobia
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Current life stressors
Solving problems, financial difficulties
Addiction, Anger management
Bereavement
Lack of motivation, meaning and purpose
Wanting to change direction in life

Work Experience

My training, work and life experiences have provided me with a solid foundation so that my practice is grounded in the latest science and research findings. I have experience providing therapy in NHS settings such as GP surgeries, community mental health, occupational and clinical health teams and psychotherapy departments. I also have experience of short and long term work in charities.

Interests
I have a particular interest in and experience of working with:

Abuse and trauma whether experienced in childhood or as an adult.

Working with people who believe they have experienced unhelpful therapy in the past or who are despondent they can find someone to help them be free of their difficulties.

Helping you work out who you are as a person and how we can create the conditions in therapy to help you reach your goals and potential are central to my practice.

Helping people free up and develop their creative potential including those who work in or have leisure interests in the creative arts field.
