Psychological Therapies

I offer a range of specialist psychological therapies, and often combine techniques from multiple approaches in order to meet my clients' individual needs in a personalised way.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a NICE recommended treatment for many difficulties, including Anxiety, Depression and OCD, fears and phobias

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a NICE recommended treatment which has been found to be highly effective for PTSD and traumas. It can also be used for fears and phobias and pain.

Counselling

Counselling is useful to help people process and talk through difficul life circumstances. I will often use counselling skills alongside other therapeutic techniques, to enhance the overall effect.

Mentalisation Informed Therapy

Mentalisation is our ability to recognise and understand the thoughts and feelings of ourselves and others. I have adopted techniques from Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT), which is often used as an effective treatment for personality disorders. You might find mentalisation based techniques useful if you have difficulties in understanding yourself, or misinterpreting others.

Systemic Therapy

I am trained to a diploma level in Applied Systemic Theory. I use these skills to think about how systems of people may interact and get stuck. A systemic approach can be useful when thinking about how your family and environment can sometimes contribute to 'stuck' situations. I can use systemic formulations in individual work, couples or small families.

Assessments

I can offer specialist psychological assessment reports for mental health needs.

Please contact me for a quote, as these are based upon individual requirements.

Supervision

I can offer clinical supervision to other psychologists, counsellors, trainee psychologists and other staff disciplines such as Occupational Therapists or nurses.

I do not offer student placements within my private practice

Consultation and Training

I offer consultations and training sessions in mental health, to individuals and organisations such as GP practices and churches. As a sole practitioner, I am unable to offer placements to students, though can offer mentoring, supervision and therapy for trainees.
