Andrew Kemp, Director - Clear Mind CBT. Anxiety & CBT for Weight Loss Specialist
About me
If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, or other intense emotions then speaking to a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist may be beneficial to you. You may notice a feeling of dread at the day ahead or that you’re held back from achieving the things you want to in life. You may feel shy or nervous, notice changes in your body or struggle with sleep. You may be self-critical or notice difficulties with motivation or energy levels. You might have a phobia that you wish to work on or to lose weight. These are just some of the areas I can help you with.
I believe that the key to effective therapy is to have a strong, trusting relationship and for client and therapist to work together, as equals. I work hard to achieve that therapeutic relationship and find a style that works for the individual. I have a special interest in working with the psychology of weight loss and anxiety disorders.
I understand that taking that first step to exploring and talking about your difficulties can be challenging but I hope that by taking this step, you can begin to see a path towards a happier future.
