Profile

I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with extensive experience working with people with a wide range of difficulties. I am a member of the BABCP, lead organisation for CBT in the UK. (If you wish to visit my personal website please click on the link above).

CBT can help with many aspects of emotional difficulties and in many cases is the therapy of choice according to NHS NICE guidelines. I have many years experience working in the voluntary sector and the NHS as a therapist, and currently work for a leading specialist mental healthcare provider in York. I am now pleased to offer CBT from locations in Hull and Hessle.

This is pure Cognitive Behavioural Therapy delivered by a CBT specialist.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapy, a degree in Social Policy and an MA in Social Work. I am a member of the BABCP the lead organisation for CBT in the UK. I make every effort to keep my practice in line with recent developments in CBT, and have regular supervision to help maintain best practice.

I have ten years experience as a therapist, in a wide variety of settings including the NHS and the private sector.

I have specific inpatient and outpatient experience and expertise with EATING DISORDERS and this remains an area of special interest. This would include ANOREXIA NERVOSA, BULIMIA NERVOSA, BINGE EATING and other not otherwise specified eating disorders (EDNOS).

CBT-E is an enhanced form of CBT which specifically addresses eating disorders, and is currently the only evidence based psychological therapy for eating disorders.

How it works....

Free confidential consultation

You can access this free consultation to discuss your difficulties and I will answer any questions you may have. There is no obligation to enter therapy, this is purely to help you decide whether CBT may be right for you.

First session (assessment)

The first session of therapy will allow us to develop a shared understanding of the problem. This usually focuses on identifying how your thoughts, ideas, feelings, attitudes, and behaviours affect your day-to-day life. Together we can then decide on a treatment plan, with goals to work towards, and the number of sessions likely to be needed.

Ongoing sessions

Each session lasts about 50-60 minutes. Typically, a session of therapy is once weekly to begin with, a course of CBT can be longer or shorter depending on the nature and severity of the condition. Some difficulties can be treated over 4 -6 sessions, other more complex issues may take longer.

Content and structure of therapy

You will be encouraged to take an active part in therapy, and will usually be given homework between sessions. If you have social anxiety, for example, you may be asked to keep a diary of your thoughts and behaviours which occur when you become anxious before, or during a social event. Further homework may be experimenting with alternative ways of coping which you have learned during therapy. The homework aspect of CBT is crucial in enabling us to understand what happens in real life situations and encourages you to experiment in between sessions, in order to get the most out of the therapeutic process and make the changes that are helpful for you.

Confidentiality

No information discussed in therapy will be given to any other person or agency without consent from you. This includes information about whether or not you are using the service.

Confidentiality may be breached only under the following circumstances:

• Where there is a risk of serious harm to you by another party
• Where there is risk of serious harm by you to another party or to yourself
• Where there is risk of harm to a minor
• Where it is in your best interest to do so but where it is not possible to obtain your consent
