COGNITIVE BEHAVIOuRAL THERAPY

About Me

I am an accredited psychotherapist and supervisor with specialist training in cognitive behavioural and EMDR.  I have had vast experience of working in a wide variety of environments and deal with a diverse client caseload, I currently run a full time private practice, but have worked in the NHS and private sector, with extensive experience  dealing with mild-complex psychological issues. My work has involved working in GP surgeries, in a residential rehabilitation unit for individuals struggling with drugs and alcohol misuse, running clinics for chronic pain and with Cruse, an organisation dealing with bereavement, grief and loss.

I provide therapy and supervision face to face, online and by telephone.  My practice is  in a very private location, which is close to bus and train routes, with free off road parking.  Our work together will be confidential in a warm, caring, comfortable setting.  You will be given the opportunity to process problematic past events, understand your triggers to stress and anxiety, make sense of problematic emotions and find ways to achieve more clarity, balance and happiness in your life.  We will work so you really feel truly heard and understood.

My areas of expertise are vast and include trauma, all anxiety and depressive disorders, relationship issues, low self-esteem and confidence, substance misuse, chronic pain and grief and loss.  Areas in which I can help are extensive and include the following:
