I am a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in healthcare. Having worked as a General Nurse a Mental Health Nurse and a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist I understand the importance of good mental health. I am therefore able to provide individual psychotherapy for a number of problems in a confidential and supportive environment.

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBP) aims to help people develop an understanding of their difficulties and to assist them in managing their lives in a positive way. CBP is based on the principle that our thoughts affect how we feel emotionally and subsequently how we behave. CBP can help you to recognise the links between thoughts feelings and behaviours as well as developing an understanding of how problems start and how they persist. Your treatment will involve working with the therapist to reach a joint understanding of the problem with the expectation that you will become skilled in managing future difficulties at the end of your course of therapy.

I am accredited with the British Association For Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies and am registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

I also provide individual and group supervision for those wishing to work within a Cognitive Behavioural framework.

Issues I can work with include:
