Mrs Rajnish Virk (Dip , CBT)

About me

What i do

I work with people who are suffering from anxiety and depression. I use the therapy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients work on learning to manage their anxiety and/or depression. I work with different kinds of anxiety which are PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, health anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder.

Approach of therapy

I use a structured approach and follow up therapy sessions with work to take home to practice. This helps clients really reinforce what they have learnt in therapy and get better. I like to make the therapy a mix ofd foirmal and informal sessions as thsi helps clients open up more . Also  work with the clienst expectations fo therapy howvere small or big they may be.

I am also very client focussed - meaning I work with the client's needs and their time. Where some clients will need CBT alone generally life is more complex - I am very holistic in my approach and work with the pace of the client.

What is CBT?

CBT is a skills based therapy wherby we work on the thoughts and behaviours we end up doing when we are anxious and/or depressed which will create and maintain our mood . We address the thoughts that are triggering us to feel the way we are feeling and the behaviours that we end up doing based on the thoughts like raessurance seeking, avoidance, compensatory behaviour etc . The techniques we use we practice in sessiobs and take away to do. They can equip a client to have a lifelong set of skilss at hand that work for them to help them in there mood.

As i always say our health and mental health is a lifelong process we need to work on but once we recognise what works for us in those difficult moments we are better equipped to go past those difficult times more effectively.
