About me

Hello and welcome to my page. I am an accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist having gained my Postgraduate Diploma in CBT at the University of Derby. I am also a qualified and experienced EMDR Therapist. I have experience of working with adults aged 16+, presenting with a wide range of psychological difficulties. Areas of expertise include: Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, OCD, social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, Post-natal depression, and workplace stress. I have a particular interest in the area of psychological trauma including childhood sexual abuse, RTA, bullying, domestic violence, one-off traumas and complicated grief.
CBT is a talking therapy that has been proven to help treat a wide range of emotional and physical health conditions in adults, young people and children. There is a great deal of research evidence for the efficacy of CBT in treating depression and anxiety disorders. This research has been carefully reviewed by NICE.
In CBT, the therapist and client work together to identify any dysfunctional thoughts or behaviours that are maintaining the problems, and thinking about whether these could be changed. CBT works at different levels of cognition; the negative automatic thoughts, the underlying assumptions and the maladaptive core beliefs underlying more chronic and complex presentations.
