Hi, I'm Hermione, an accredited CBT/Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapist (REBT) registered with The National Counselling Society. 
For nearly six years now, I have been a senior wellbeing advisor at MIND. Where I use my own experience of OCD to help others.  I see clients on a one to one basis and facilitate different groups for MIND ( OCD, Wellbeing, Writing for recovery and Art. )These are some of the things I am very passionate about.  The reason I decided to train and work privately as well as continuing to work with MIND, is to be able to spend longer with clients, as many need more sessions than are allowed by Charities and The NHS, and waiting lists can be long. I understand how difficult it is to take that first step and once you have decided to do it, being put on a waiting list can be very frustrating and unhelpful.  Having lived experience of OCD, helps me to help others with a true understanding of what it feels like to live with this disorder and other anxiety disorders & depression. My aim is to help you to deal with your problem, and give you the tools to help you to maintain your own wellbeing in the future. I work with Anxiety, Generalised anxiety disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, depression, social anxiety, performance anxiety, stress management, inner critical voice and generally if your just not feeling like yourself. 
REBT was pioneered by Albert Ellis in the 1950's. It is a trans-diagnostic, philosophical, evidence-based model of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is supported by clinical research. REBT looks at the person as a whole rather than as a symptom and teaches a universal model that can be successfully applied to a wide range of different emotional issues. It offers, structure and a philosophy that allows you to make effective and long lasting emotional and behavioural change. A humanistic approach.
