What I can offer you
I have helped people in times of distress and despair when they have been going through a rough patch or challenging times, or may have been faced with a long term problem.
Specialties
I specialise in state-of-the-art CBT and EMDR, and I also draw on other approaches such as compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness.
Mental Health
Some of the areas that I provide treatment for include stress, excessive worrying, excessive anger, anxiety, phobias and mild or moderate or severe forms of depression. I specialise in treatment of obsessions/compulsions (OCD) and different types of trauma including Complex Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Complex PTSD.
Philosophy
Two heads are better than one! Listening, talking and interacting in therapy, we can begin to build a therapeutic relationship as our solid foundation. We can both gain a good understanding of your situation and problems, in terms of how they may have arisen, what maintains them and what needs to change.
Psychotherapy
With a good shared understanding of your problems we can set goals for therapy and then develop an effective treatment plan. In therapy, I am able to draw on a range of expert approaches to assist people to develop more helpful coping strategies and practical skills to address their problems.
