WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SESSION

All my services are offered online since Covid 19

All clinical sessions are via Zoom with security features.

You will be offered an initial consultation for an assessment and then I will agree a plan for therapy.

Therapy is best delivered weekly, as it gains momentum and the reduces the time spent in therapy. The therapy delivered by myself is designed to be time limited and regular reviews will be built in, so you are not attending therapy for longer than you need to be.You will be asked to completed psychological outcome questionnaires, routinely on a weekly basis, to track your improvements.

Cost for all therapy sessions are £90 for a 60 min session and £120 for a 90 min trauma based sessions.

Clinical Supervision sessions - please enquire via email. Prices can alter between bespoke instructions and individual sessions by clinicians or students.

SERVICES I OFFER

I specialise in a variety of treatments for anxiety, depression and trauma as well as more complex psychological difficulties. From mild problems to more severe difficulties, there will be an approach that will meet your needs. You will need to be motivated to engage in a psychological therapy that focusses on emotional and behavioural change and I will be with you on your journey.

I specialise in trauma focussed therapies and offer evidence based CBT & EMDR for post traumatic stress disorder and other trauma based issues.

Therapy is a process of learning self help skills, self-discovery and tackling the things you avoid, which leads to behavioural and emotional change. In my therapy sessions I promote behavioural transformation by evaluating thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We also explore the adoption of new attitudes and feelings through behavioural experimentation. In EMDR therapies, we focus on memory work, to help you engage with adaptive information processing, which aids the reduction of emotional distress.

I have been a Consultant Psychological Therapist in the NHS for over 10 years.

My supervision is based on Kolb's learning cycle and is one of socratic exploration, guided discovery and skills development. I offer a special rate for students in training.
