About me and my therapy practice

I am a BABCP and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist with over twenty years’ experience of working in the NHS and private sector, mental health services. I primarily work from a cognitive-behavioural / mindfulness / acceptance commitment therapy perspectives, however, I value and use a range of therapeutic models according to the needs of the individual.

The way we think, feel and behave is often inter-related and my therapeutic approach is to offer an understanding of this. Modifying thinking and behaviour, can allow flexibility and can act to reduce distressing emotions. Through a collaborative and supportive approach I work with individuals to offer alternative coping strategies.

I am based in South Gloucestershire, however, please note that all my sessions are currently being held online. I've been working online for over 10 years and research indicates that CBT delivered online is as effective as in person CBT. It is a convenient and accessible way to access CBT and I send a summary email after each session. 

Practice description

Therapy sessions last for 1 hour, typically occurring on a weekly basis. You will be encouraged to identify specific therapy goals at the start that we will review to monitor your progress. We will work collaboratively to understand your difficulties, develop insight and learn cognitive and behavioural techniques. I may encourage you to practice some of theses techniques in between our sessions. This will help you to manage your own difficulties and ultimately allow you to become your own therapist / guide. Typically you will need between 6-12 sessions, although I will aim for as fewer sessions as necessary for you to work towards your goals.

My first session

Your first appointment will be an assessment session to discuss the best treatment plan for you, which will last no more than 1 hour.

before the session I will ask you to compete three forms and email them to me prior to the session (if possible). The forms are PHQ9 & GAD7 form and the contact details, that includes your details, consent & emergency contact.
