About me
Do you…
...feel preoccupied by worries & unwanted thoughts?
...find decision-making hard?
...feel alone with difficult feelings?
...engage in checking or asking for reassurance to manage anxiety?
...find pregnancy (or parenthood) a demanding period in your life?
...worry about physical sensations in your body?
These are some of the areas I discuss daily in my clinic. People I work with are looking for a therapist who is going to listen to them & understand their experience. Someone who is going to take their distress seriously, remember their story once discussed in a session and teach them strategies to manage difficult emotions.
In the first part of our work together, we are going to develop an understanding of what maintains your distress & in the second part we are going to focus on CBT strategies and techniques you will be able to use to break these vicious cycles. I am looking forward to working with you as a team to achieve your therapy goals. My style is warm and approachable.
I work in person and online which gives me flexibility. You are welcome to book a 15-minute initial telephone call so we can speak and see if the way that I work suits you. If my availability or style doesn't quite fit, I am always happy to make helpful recommendations. My website can tell you more: www.therapyforme.co.uk
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an award-winning Specialist CBT therapist - I qualified at the University of Oxford and have practised CBT for more than 10 years in a range of NHS settings and with a range of different populations.
As a Highly Specialist CBT therapist, I worked in the National Service for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma at the Maudsley Hospital & specialised in perinatal mental health & anxiety conditions. I was supervised by the leading clinicians in anxiety disorders (i.e. OCD, health anxiety etc) in the UK, such as: Professor David Veale & Dr Fiona Challacombe.
I specialise in anxiety conditions, OCD & perinatal mental health.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
