About me

I'm Taf, a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist, Supervisor, and Trainer.

As an experienced CBT therapist and mindfulness teacher, I am dedicated to providing effective, evidence-based psychological interventions for individuals experiencing difficulties with their mental health. I have honed my skills in various mental health care and addiction services, serving in both clinical and leadership roles. With over 15 years of experience in mental health across the NHS, private practice, and higher education, I bring a diverse background to my work.

My central therapeutic approaches are grounded in CBT, as endorsed by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). I also integrate mindfulness to promote self-awareness, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation, making it effective for breaking automatic behaviour patterns and fostering healthier responses. Additionally, I have a strong interest in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which focuses on enhancing self-compassion and emotional regulation.

Therapeutic Style

My approach is client-centred and collaborative, aiming to empower you by building on your strengths while equipping you with practical skills to navigate life’s challenges. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where we can work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop strategies to foster resilience.

What You Can Expect from a Session:

We will explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, focusing on addressing negative thinking patterns and developing healthier coping mechanisms. This structured approach not only addresses symptoms but also promotes long-term change. If you're struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues, my goal is to help you regain control over your life and well-being.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

For face to face clients, there is free parking available just outside the building and the centre is fully accessible.
