About me
I am currently employed as a Specialist CBT Therapist and Clinical Supervisor within the NHS and I am fully accredited with the BABCP. Over the past 10 years I have gained extensive training and clinical experience within the NHS, the private sector, and some notable national charities such as Relate and Mind. From working within these different sectors I have developed a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to helping people to overcome their emotional difficulties.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is essential for change, but that it is not enough by itself, and this is where CBT comes in. I seek to develop a relationship with my clients based on openness and mutual trust, and then teach the skills and techniques needed for you to overcome your difficulties.
About CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is one of the most research-based approaches and is ideal for those looking for a more structured approach. It has proven to be the most effective treatment for depression and a variety of anxiety issues such as excessive worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
CBT seeks to help you to understand your difficulties through examining the way you think about your difficulties (the cognitive part) and how you respond to your situation (the behavioural part). Your therapist will then teach you the skills to manage your situation and move forward.
