About me

CBT aims to improve your mental well being by helping you understand how your thoughts can lead to unhelpful emotions and behaviours. It's goal directed, solution focused and systematic. You will gain practical information about how you can make changes to your life. I usually use careful emphatic listening to enable my clients to obtain a real sense of their experience. There will be an emphasis of tailoring treatment to your needs using my DBT and ACT training skills . You will have a safe, private, confidential setting which will be comfortable for you to disclose material of deep personal significance.
I am a BABCP Accredited CBT therapist, Society of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy accredited DBT therapist and supervisor and I also offer EMDR therapy currently on the process of completing my accreditation as an EMDR therapist. I have a 20 years experience working within the NHS and the private practice as mental practitioner in various services, including forensic services, acute psychiatric wards, crisis teams, A&E mental health liaison and a psychotherapist within secondary care psychological therapies services at the NHS. I will draw upon my experience to offer a specific therapy model and protocol as well as an integrative approach specific to the person's need.
