About me
I am an experienced BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I have completed extensive training specifically in cognitive behavioural therapy, up to masters degree level. I work with a variety of age groups including: older adults, adults, adolescents and children suffering from anxiety disorders, trauma and depression. I am located within Solihull and Stratford-upon-Avon. I gain referrals from GPs, psychiatrists, medical insurance companies, agencies, businesses and clients themselves. I offer face to face, online and telephone treatment. I also work with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and obesity. I have completed advanced training in eating disorders, helping clients to transform their relationship with food by treating the problem holistically.
I am very passionate and enthusiastic about my field of work. I became director of Back on Track Ltd in 2016. I have worked within mental health for 23 years, therefore I believe I have a sound understanding of various mental health problems. I hold a strong belief in the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy, having seen a number of clients recover from a range of problems and continue to enjoy guiding people to better mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed extensive training over the years including:
- BSc (Hons) in Psychology
- Grad Dip in Mental Health Nursing
- Masters Practitioner Skills in Eating Disorder
- PGDip in High intensity Psychological interventions (CBT)
- MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I also continually update my knowledge and skills by attending a number of workshops throughout the year.
I have worked for 3 years for RehabWorks part time in addition to private practice between 2015-2018. This involved carrying out telephone assessments and delivering telephone CBT to employees from various companies who are experiencing mental health problems with the aim of helping them to return to work or sustain their return to work. I have also worked part time for several years between 2009-2014 within the NHS delivering face to face cognitive behavioural therapy and group sessions to adults with depression and various anxiety disorders. Prior to that I worked full time as a registered mental health nurse within acute inpatient settings.
