I am fully accredited Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist based in Guildford, Surrey. CBT is an evidence-based therapy recommended by NICE that has proved to be very effective in treating a range of emotional and behavioural challenges that we all encounter at some point during our lives.

Emotional problems, including anxiety and depression, can manifest themselves in many ways both cognitive and behavioural and CBT has proved to be an effective and practical short-term intervention to assist in the long-term management of the common daily stressors in life together with panic attacks, phobias, OCD, insomnia, public speaking, chronic pain conditions, social anxiety, exam stress, perfectionism, procrastination, low self-esteem and IBS amongst many others. 

It may be that you have been struggling with a particular emotional issue for some time and have not yet found a healthy, rational way of managing it. CBT is a talking therapy that is collaborative, structured and short term, aiming to help you gain greater self-awareness of the way you think and the beliefs you have been holding about this particular issue.

My aim is to help them to understand your emotional and behavioural challenges more clearly and rationally and to learn life-long healthy and more helpful patterns of thinking together with skills and techniques to manage them more effectively and to set realistic goals for yourself both in your work, your relationships with others and how you view yourself.

With clients, I am able to draw upon a variety of CBT methods including Cognitive Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) and more recent CBT developments including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) in addition to Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy. This ensures that I can tailor the therapy specifically for you.   

I choose to specialise in REBT (a form of CBT), as I have seen at first-hand how effective it can be in a relatively short space of time for clients from all walks of life and with a wide array of emotional problems to effect long term emotional and behavioural change, enabling them to move forward with their lives in a more rational and emotionally healthy way.

I will offer you a confidential, supportive, safe and non-judgmental space in which to work collaboratively with me on the specific issues that have brought you to therapy. 

Please call or email me for a brief confidential chat about your current challenges so that we can discuss whether CBT might be the appropriate therapy for you at this stage and that could help you to move you forward.
