I take a compassionate and science-backed approach to understanding and treating difficulties related to mental and physical health.
Book a sessionMY EXPERIENCE: I have 10+ years experience working as a psychotherapist in the NHS and private practice. I am also a clinical teaching fellow/supervisor at University College London (UCL), providing clinical supervision to trainee CBT therapists. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). There is scientific research that supports the use of these approaches for a variety of problems. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and want to take time to understand your unique circumstances before suggesting treatment. I will usually complete an initial assessment with you to work out your difficulties and goals, and then spend some time formulating a bespoke treatment plan which I will share with you. Therapy is a collaborative process and my aim is to provide you with a safe space to not only understand yourself better but to also identify solutions and ways forward. MY APPROACH: I have worked in a variety of settings, from hospitals to private providers and worked with a diverse range of age groups, backgrounds and mental health diagnoses. I am trained in a variety of approaches; this allows me to adapt my style to your needs and goals. My approaches are: -Health psychology - treating depression and anxiety issues related to living with long term health conditions -Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - treating depression, PTSD and anxiety-related disorders using evidence-based, scientific tools. -Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) - a specific, time-limited type of therapy for those struggling with sleep problems - ranging from disturbed sleep to insomnia. -Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) - a specific therapy that aims to improve your depression by helping you to address the problems that contribute to it e.g. relationship problems, self-esteem issues, grief, going through big life events and changes.
