Hello

​CBT

I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a well tested and validated psychological therapy with an established evidence base. This means that there is substantial evidence from research trials that CBT is effective for a wide range of mental health difficulties, including Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders (including Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bipolar Disorder and Psychotic Disorders. It is also helpful for overcoming stress and difficulties with low self-esteem.

Mindfulness

I am trained in teaching mindfulness in groups and to individuals. Developing skills in mindfulness can help people manage their difficulties with greater skill, learning to be more present more of the time and getting more in touch with their valued goals and desires.

MBT

Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT) is an evidence-based approach to help people with their mood and interpersonal relationships. It is en effective approach for helping people understanding how their early attachments impact their relationships now and learn how to better understand themselves and others, so that they can relate to others with greater skill. 

 

As an experienced psychologist, I can draw on multiple models in my work with clients. A criticism often directed at CBT is that it works only at a superficial level. I think it is an effective intervention, but drawing on other models and approaches can help people understand their difficulties better in order to achieve changes that can be sustained over time.

Working in High Performance Environments
I have increasingly worked with people to help maximise performance in high pressured environments, including business and sporting contexts. I often work with people who are successful in business, sport or creative industries and have found that setbacks, or the pressure to maintain standards, have exposed underlying vulnerabilities that they want to work through.
