Email meAbout me
I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist offering specialist treatment for weight management and mental health issues including Depression, Anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I offer a safe and compassionate space to help you make sense of what is going on and to move forward with your life. The first appointment is a free no obligation session where we will explore whether CBT is right for you. During the first session we explore how your symptoms are affecting your life and what you would like to change. From here we form goals and a plan for therapy. CBT teaches you to become your own therapist, giving you an insight into how your thoughts and behaviours affect your emotions and provides you with a toolbox of techniques to improve your mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) with a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and have 10 years of experience working, training and volunteering in mental health services.
