About me
Hello and welcome. My name is Beverley, and I offer a collaborative, personalised, and evidence-based psychotherapy to adults experiencing PTSD, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and a range of anxiety disorders.
With nearly twenty years of experience in the mental health field as a mental health nurse and an accredited CBT therapist, I have worked in a variety of NHS settings, including IAPT talking therapies. I now work in private practice, in a dedicated private office located at a discreet location in the Christchurch area of Dorset. I have also completed my EMDR Europe Accredited Training.
My training aligns with recognised professional standards and evidence-informed practice, held within a calm, holistic approach that honours the whole person. Working with me will enable us to develop a shared understanding of your concerns and explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses. A process that builds insight and self-awareness, empowering you to make meaningful, lasting changes.
Mindfulness is woven into my work to help you recognise unhelpful patterns and mental habits, and to step back from difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement. In busy, demanding lives, it’s easy to move onto “automatic pilot,” replaying past events or anticipating future worries. Mindfulness supports a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself, anchored in the present moment.
I also offer individual, couples and group immersive sound bath experiences. Whilst separate from psychotherapy, these sessions complement emotional wellbeing by promoting deep relaxation, supporting nervous system regulation, and fostering mindfulness, restoration and overall balance.
In addition to my therapeutic qualifications, I hold an Enhanced DBS certification and I am an accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). This enables me to provide a safe and professional environment for all clients and ensures I have regular clinical supervision and training to keep my skill updated. I am fully insured for all therapies I provide, ensuring peace of mind as we work together.
I understand that finding the right therapist is an important and personal decision. To support this, I offer a complimentary 15-minute initial telephone consultation. This gives us the opportunity to explore your needs and consider whether we feel like the right fit.
I invite you to get in touch with me to explore your options and preferences. If you decide to go ahead and work with me, I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.
