What I can help with
I have worked within the field of mental health for over nine years, included specialist therapy settings such as eating disorders, substance misuse and general psychotherapy services. I am experienced in treating a variety of emotional difficulties including:
|
Anorexia Nervosa Bulimia Nervosa Binge-eating disorder Body image difficulties Emotional overeating Depression Anxiety (social anxiety, panic attacks, and worry) |
Low self-esteem and self-confidence Losses and bereavement Managing emotions Perfectionism Phobias Relationship problems Childhood trauma and abuse
|
As a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I am able to draw upon an in-depth understanding of several therapy approaches which can be tailored to meet individual needs. I have chosen to specialise in CBT as it is a highly effective and evidence-based therapy which is capable of achieving quick, meaningful and long-lasting results. I am also an Advanced Schema Therapist, which allows me to provide longer-term therapy for complex difficulties. I am currently completing intensive training in the Voice Dialogue approach. Lastly, I am experienced using a number of other psychotherapies including emotion-focused therapy, compassion-focused therapy, cognitive analytic therapy, motivational interviewing, positive psychotherapy, and person-centred counselling.
I am deeply committed to providing talking therapies which are proven to work through rigorous scientific research. I also believe that a supportive, respectful and non-judgemental relationship is vital to creating a safe space where personal difficulties can be explored and fully overcome.
Please note that I only work with adults (i.e. individuals over 17 years of age).
