I am a qualified psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. I successfully completed my Masters’ degree at Birmingham University and my EMDR at York.
I have worked in mental health for 26 years in both the NHS and private practice. Initially I worked in a mother and baby unit and then worked in the community. Finally I worked in a psychology department before leaving the NHS to work full time in private practice.
I am a qualified signer, which enables me to counsel clients who have hearing impairments without an interpreter.
I provide CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and Counselling for people who have a wide range of psychological and behavioural problems such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Low Self Esteem, Social Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy provides strategies to manage distressing conditions that can affect the overall quality of a person’s life. It focuses on addressing problems in a positive way teaching skills and approaches to make positive and effective changes.
