Therapist

Thank you for taking time to read my profile information.
I appreciate that choosing a therapist can feel difficult, so I hope this gives you an idea of who I am and helps you in your decision making.

I have a background of over thirty years experience working in mental health as a Registered Nurse, before training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

Whilst training as a Therapist I saw just how helpful CBT can be for a range of issues and problems.

I believe effective therapy is based on you and I working together, not only to understand what is happening for you, but to consider a way forward underpinned by evidence based approaches.

Developing a greater understanding of what is happening for you can also help you to develop techniques to tackle similar issues should they arise in the future.

For my part of the partnership, I offer empathy and compassion as well as bringing understanding, respect and a good sense of humour.
