About me
Life can be joyful but it can also be incredibly stressful and challenging. I don’t believe any of us can navigate life without experiencing difficult and painful life events. As with our physical health, maintaining our mental health and wellbeing is a lifelong commitment.
Given the right set of circumstances any of us could experience mental health difficulties. We can experience traumas and adverse life events which can significantly impact our mental health and lives. There are so many factors that can influence how we are thinking, feeling and behaving, causing us to feel unwell and overwhelmed & in need of help and support.
At these times, having a safe therapeutic space in which to start to understand how we are thinking, feeling and behaving can help us to start to make changes and move forward. In therapy you can learn new skills and ways of understanding yourself that can help you to feel more stable and in control of your mental health and life.
Atlantic CBT & EMDR is a professional, compassionate and confidential psychotherapy service offering evidence based and effective psychological therapies. I have over 20 years of experience of working in mental health in the NHS, firstly as a mental health nurse, then as a psychotherapist. I work with people to help them learn skills to manage their mental health & become their own therapist. I have extensive experience of helping people to process traumatic events, so that they can move on with their lives and focus on their life goals.
