Profile
Experienced Adult, Children and Adolescent Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.
I have over 14 years experience of working on a one to one basis with individuals and their families from different ethnicities, cultures, religions and genders; who have experienced abuse, loss, alcohol and drug abuse, mental health problems and are in need of support.
I practice Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and I believe my approach is client focused. I believe I am warm, caring, empathetic and genuine, which helps the person coming to therapy identify and change their unhelpful thinking and behaviour, resulting in them feeling better about themselves.
I am qualified and experienced to work with Adults, Children and Adolescents. I have worked with adults and adolescents who have learning difficulties and Aspergers syndrome.
I have access to consulting rooms in the Erdington area.
What is Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT)
CBT is a talking therapy. It can help people who are experiencing a wide range of mental health and emotional difficulties. What people think can affect how people feel and behave. This is the basis of CBT.
During times of mental distress, people think differently about themselves and what happens to them. Thoughts can become extreme and unhelpful. This can affect how a person feels and so they then may behave in a way that prolongs their distress.
CBT practitioners help each person identify and change their extreme thinking and unhelpful behaviour. In doing this, the result is often a major improvement in how the person feels and lives.
CBT can be used with adults, adolescents and children. It can help with Depression, anxiety, feelings of stress, Post Traumatic stress following a traumatic experience and for children who have suffered from abuse. CBT can also be used to treat panic, phobias and Obsessive Complulsive Disorder.
