About me
I have 13 years of experience practising as a BABCP accredited (Gold Standard for CBT Therapists) Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I use a sophisticated form of CBT called the UCL Case Formulation model which emphasises getting an individual and tailored understanding of your concerns.
A beneficial understanding of your life allows us to create a treatment plan that is individualised towards you. This entails that you will get to know principles and techniques that directly address your concerns. This will greatly aid in helping you address your problems in a direct and pragmatic manner.
We will not just sit down and talk about your life and leave it at that. We will be aiming for change.
Due to the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, many clients notice an improvement of their difficulties in a comparatively short amount of time.
Next to various Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, I also heavily incorporate Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy. In addition, I also implement findings from Evolutionary Psychology. This amalgamation is very effective in combating problems such as generalised anxiety disorder, low self-esteem, panic disorder, perfectionism, OCD, people pleasing and more.
I provide face to face therapy in central Richmond, London and also provide online and phone therapy.
I used to run many treatment programmes and worked as a full-time Psychotherapist at the world famous Priory hospital in Roehampton.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have BSc in Psychology and MA in Intelligence Research and have successfully completed numerous postgraduate courses in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (incl. Postgraduate Diploma). Further to this I have partaken in many psychotherapy workshops and counselling courses.
I am trained in and use a sophisticated form of CBT called the UCL Case Formulation Model that focuses on getting a tailored understanding of difficulties in order to then benefit from bespoke approaches.
I am also an accredited member of the BABCP, which represents the gold standard in the United Kingdom. The BABCP is known for having extremely strict accreditation criteria.
Previous to running a full time private practice, I have worked at the world famous Priory Hospital in Roehampton and have created numerous treatment programs within the hospital.
