About Me
I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP) this means you can be assured I have undertaken a high level of training, I am fully qualified and I work in line with ethical and professional guidelines, ensuring my knowledge remains up to date and I provide a safe and competent practice. In terms of CBT, my specialist areas include utilising the approach to help people improve their self-esteem and confidence, overcome anxiety and to treat trauma.
My services are provided to individuals, insurers, medico-legal companies and EAPs.
Alongside CBT I have a special interest in working with people to help them address sexual difficulties and I am undertaking further training in the field of Psychosexual Therapy and Sex Addiction Counselling. I am a member and adhere to the professional ethics of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC)
I have over 10 years experience working with a wide range of people from the ages of 16 to 90+ within the mental health field including addiction. During this time I have supported people in overcoming; trauma, difficulties relating to various forms of anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, sleep difficulties and depression. I have helped people increase their confidence and self-esteem, empowered them to make positive changes to their lives and supported them in facing situations they once avoided.
I am experienced in helping people to take a step back from the overwhelming nature of their difficulties and work alongside them to apply techniques that help them find a way through, restore their functioning and ultimately help them feel better and live a life they want to live.
