Professional Qualities
I’m trustworthy, reliable, skilled, knowledgeable, interested and warm. I am accredited by the British Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapists.
I have worked successfully as an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for 15 years with the NHS in a primary care setting, and from this, I have become experienced, empathic and compassionate.
Before that, I worked as a Mental Health Nurse (RMN), which gave me experience in various health settings.
What & Where
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy: together, we will find the words to describe and explain your distress so it makes sense to you.
Treatment works best when you feel comfortable talking to me and trust that I can help; therapy takes place face-to-face in my clinic in Bellevue in Shrewsbury or online, and each session lasts an hour.
Processes
My role is to be an expert in CBT and yours in being an expert about yourself; together, we will use this knowledge to work towards resolving your problems.
I will keep you informed of what we are doing and why I might propose different approaches to your distress. We will discuss your needs, and how long we might expect to work together to resolve the problems, this is a joint decision.
Approach to treatment
Although we work mainly in the room, sometimes it’s constructive to consider what you have learned and practise outside the session to experience and reinforce new techniques.
But like everything we do, there will be no surprises; everything is negotiated and understood first. Every session, we will agree on the work for you to do before the next session. This will help test whether we are on the right track and encourage positive change.
