COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

I have training and experience in delivering evidence-based talking treatments for a wide range of difficulties including Depression, OCD, Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Discorder (PTSD).

I work collaboratively and flexibly with people to clarify and help them reach their aims.

EMDR

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy, commonly known as EMDR, is a mental health therapy method. EMDR treats mental health conditions that happen because of memories from traumatic events in your past. It’s best known for its role in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but its use is expanding to include treatment of many other conditions.

This method involves bilateral (side to side) stimulation while you processe traumatic or difficult memories. EMDR’s goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.

SUPERVISION

I am an experienced Clinical Supervisor, currently offering supervision to CBT therapists and to Counsellors and Psychotherapists in NHS settings and at Bristol University Student Counselling Services as well as in private practice.

I also have wide experience of supervising trainee Counsellors, CBT Therapists and Counselling Psychologists.
