I am a provisionally accredited, highly skilled, and experienced BABCP CBT Therapist. I have over 7 years of working within mental health services, including the NHS 24, private, and voluntary sectors. I have a natural curiosity in people, which helps to create a strong therapeutic relationship. I ensure that people are heard, and my reflective approach helps clients, making them feel comfortable sharing their feelings and difficulties. Using CBT we will focus on understanding your emotions by recognising the thoughts that bring on that emotion. Our thoughts can often come from lived experience, assumptions we make about situations, people, or, in some cases, rules we have learned in life to keep us feeling safe. CBT will help you to analyse your thoughts, recognise unhelpful thinking patterns, teach you techniques to challenge your negative automatic thoughts and help to create clarity in your thinking styles. Through clarity in thinking, we will create change in patterns of behaviours that are unhelpful, or unwanted. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be used and is the recommended treatment for : Social Anxiety, Generalised Anxiety, Health Anxiety, Phobias, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Depression, Stress Management, Low Self Esteem, Perfectionism and Hoarding Disorder.
