About me
I'm a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP). I have a post graduate certificate from Derby university in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I am a fully qualified and ISST accredited Schema Therapist.
I often use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy to treat things such as generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, worry and depression.
Over the years I have specialised in using schema therapy with people who have life patterns originating from difficulties in early life. In adult life this can shows itself as high levels of anxiety, fear of abandonment, self-criticism, low mood, feeling overwhelmed, feeling like a failure, deep feelings of emptiness or loneliness, blaming yourself for everything, feeling guilty and people pleasing.
Schema therapy enables clients to heal from self-destructive patterns that feel so deeply entrenched that they almost feel like they are part of their identity.
Using CBT, CFT and Schema Therapy our journey together would entail us understanding what experiences contributed to your view of yourself and others and how your life patterns developed in order to help you cope with your experiences. By understanding where our patterns developed we can start to heal those wounds and change our experiences.
By working together you will learn to develop self-compassion, cope with your emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them, assert yourself, engage in self-care, pull back from self-criticism and develop confidence, strength and courage. If you wish to discuss CBT, Compassion focused Therapy or Schema therapy further I offer free telephone consultations.
