Profile

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is the most effective form of counselling or psychotherapy for most psychologically based problems. Who says so - GP's and the governement body NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence and Health) ;- they recommend CBT.

There won't be embarrassing silent moments in therapy sessions with me (unless you want them!). Nor will I instruct that you must do this or that to get better. I'll help you understand the psychology and science that might underlie your problems, and help with proven techniques, in clearly planned therapy.

You can get CBT from your GP, but it it could involve group work or computer assisted CBT. Sometimes that therapy or counselling might be with newly trained therapist; my first qualification in psychology was in 1982.

I am widely experienced ex NHS, psychologist, interested in problem solving. I also use third wave CBTs of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness. These therapies are excellent for developing well-being and self -improvement (psychology is just about the negative stuff!)

If you are not local to me, that's no problem, we can talk via Skype.

I can help with most types of problems, bereavment, depression, anger management, anxiety (general and specific (e.g. travle, social, exam, performance), phobias, PTSD, insomnia.

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is also very helpful for PTSD, phobias and sleep disturbance. EMDR is used by the British, US and German military, and emergency services and is NICE approved for PTSD in the UK. I got EMDR qualified in 2006.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I also treat phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Eye movement Desensitisation Reproccesing  (EMDR) helps hugely with PTSD and phobias, but is best used in conjunction with CBT (I am qualified in both).

Examples of phobias
Travel, social, spiders, snakes, blood, emetophobia (sick), needles, medical, flight).

I am doing  post-graduate research at Manchester University into ruminative and intrusive thought loops, and techniques to deal with them.
Another interesting treatment area is in working with bodily symptoms that have no attributable medical causation.

I am an advocate of Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These are fantastically powerful in promoting well-being. Therapy in my view, is not just about treating problems, it is also about promoting happiness, improving performance and coping better with the inevitable fluctuations in life. These are known as "third wave" CBT's.

I train Drugs and Alcohol teams, run training courses on CBT for companies and the voluntary sector and am a visiting lecturer at University College Chester and an Honorary lecturer at Manchester University.
