About me
Hello - I’m Elisha! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
I am a CBT therapist (fully accredited with BABCP) with extensive experience in helping people navigate life’s inevitable challenges and create meaningful change. I offer face to face and online sessions. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the highly sought after Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and person-centred Counselling, tailored to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
Over the past decade I’ve worked within the NHS, GP surgeries, and charity organisations, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. This experience has also deepened my awareness of how culture, identity, and life experiences shape our mental health and the way we experience the world. Therefore, my approach to therapy is all about making it individualised to each person. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My aim is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and able to explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.
In our sessions:
- CBT will provide actionable strategies to address challenges and reshape negative thinking patterns and unhelpful behaviours.
- EMDR is a structured therapy that helps processing of memories and heal from traumatic experiences. It uses guided eye movements, to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. EMDR is effective for PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related issues.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy will help you cultivate mindfulness, grounding, and resilience to manage life’s stresses.
- Person-Centred counselling will offer empathetic support, empowering you to connect with your authentic self and move toward your goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and self-care! I’d be honoured to support you in this journey.
I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. Please send me a message with a brief description of your difficulty, your availability and whether you are looking for in person sessions or online. I look forward to hearing from you.
