With a broad training in clinical psychology and 20 years experience in the NHS, Beverley offers a person-centred approach to care with an integrative approach to therapy to help you meet your goals.
Book a sessionMy approach depends on who I am working with, what our goals might be and what we agree might be a good fit. Developing a plan together is most important, as whilst I might bring knowledge and skills from clinical psychology, only you know yourself, your situation and what would work for you. Together we try things out. My core training is rooted in psychology and person centred practice, with my initial therapeutic training drawing on CBT, systemic practice and Positive Behaviour Support. With 20 years of experience and continuing professional development, my skill set has broadened to incorporate skills and techniques from PACE (attachment based work), specific parenting interventions and third wave therapies (e.g ACT, CFT) . Every person I meet is unique and each relationship developed in therapy is different. For this reason I strongly believe that the work starts with getting to know each other and what the goals of therapy are. Only then, can we start to think about the 'how' of therapy, what the recommended guidance or evidence base might be and how it might fit or be adapted to context. I also find that sometimes, formal therapy isn't needed as the assessment, formulation and shared understanding can be enough to manage the initial emotional distress or create the desired change.
