I am a chartered clinical psychologist with over 15 years experience working with adults with a range of mental health problems in the NHS. The therapy I offer is individualised, focused and time limited, that is we actively work together to understand the problem and make changes as effectively as we can.
I primarily work using Cognitive Analytic Therapy as this framework allows us to make sense of your difficulties in a compassionate and coherent way and then work together to find ways out of unhelpful behaviours and patterns. I also offer EMDR for trauma related difficulties that require an approach targeted to specific unhelpful memories.
In addition I am trained to deliver Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which I integrate into my work where helpful. My range of training and experience allow me to offer evidence based therapies in a way that is tailored effectively for you.
I am experienced in working with difficulties such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Difficulties in relationships
- Abuse
- PTSD
- Self-harm
- Bereavement
- Loneliness
- Identity
- Emotional instability
If you are wondering whether I can help you I am happy to offer a short telephone consultation initially to discuss this.
