I am a Specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

​
I am fully accredited by British Association of Behavioural and
Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
​

 

 

Experience 

I have 15 + years experience working win the field pf mental health. My working experience is with adults (age 16+). I currently work for the NHS within a Chronic Pain Service in addition to my private practice. 

 

I have been a specialist in chronic pain and long term health conditions for over 9 years. I have also had additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) which I utilise and use in my sessions. I am accredited by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

​

In addition to the individual therapies I provide, I also have experience developing and delivering Pain management programmes and other group therapy. I have a wealth of experience of delivering therapies in different ways and currently offer face to face sessions in my clinic in Wilmslow and I also offer other ways such as via the telephone and video conferencing (Microsoft Teams/ Zoom).

​

My approach 

I am extremely passionate about my work and am committed to continuing to develop my own knowledge, skills and experience in order to enable my clients to achieve their own goals. The first part of therapy would be to hopefully put you at ease and feel comfortable. I do this by setting your own goals individual to you, managing expectations of therapy. I am always non-judgemental, empathic, compassionate and approachable. CBT is a very collaborative therapy so this means we work together as a team to work towards your goals and gain a mutual understanding of your main difficulties. This will allow us to  agree a best way to move forward and address your difficulties.
