About
Personal statement
I don’t feel that one approach fits all so I have therefore trained in multiple modalities, such as eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), compassion focused therapy (CFT), solution focused therapy (SFT), cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) and a dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills based approach.
This enables me to provide you with therapy that suits you individually. We can discuss this during our first assessment. My main aim is to ensure you feel you are achieving your goals, so I provide short and long term therapy, depending on your needs. I am able to treat common aspects of mental health such as depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues, but I have also trained in more specialist areas such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for weight management, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), dissociation and fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue. I also have training in dissociative identity disorder (DID).
