I am UKCP registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and Specialist Eating Disorder Nurse.
Book a sessionI am an integrative therapist, offering: Individual Therapy using ideas from the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Systemic and Family Psychotherapy. Trauma - Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is a first line treatment, as suggested by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) for people who have PTSD or symptoms of PTSD post experiencing a trauma. Family and Couples Therapy using ideas from the Systemic and Family Therapy schools. I am particularly interested in Attachment Narrative Therapy (ANT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches which both stress the importance of strong attachment and bonding in any relationship. Eating Disorders treatment: Family Therapy Treatment for Eating Disorders (FT-AN, FT-BN), where family is seen as a resource in the recovery from an eating disorder or difficulties. The Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adult (MANTRA), which aims to address the cognitive, emotional, relational and biological factors which can maintain anorexia, by supporting individuals with finding alternative and healthy coping mechanisms. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-T) - CBT-T is a ten session therapy for adults and adolescents with non-underweight eating disorders (including bulimia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and others). I believe that each day we "dance", sometimes we "dance" alone, other times we "dance" together with our partners, family members, co-workers and even strangers in the street. Psychological difficulties, adverse life events or changes can disturb this "dance" causing significant deterioration in overall wellbeing. "Learn to dance again" - alone, with your partner or in your family.
