You may be considering therapy to address specific difficulties such as depression, the impact of trauma, or difficulties in relationships with others, or you may have a wish for personal growth. Therapy recognises the importance of our experiences and our relationships or contact with others and our efforts to manage these. It offers the opportunity to gain an understanding of ourselves, of how we think, feel, behaviour & relate (including with ourselves) & consider change. After almost 30 years of working as a therapist in the NHS I moved into independent practice.
I am both a qualified clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. I also completed specialist post qualification training in CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) & and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing). CAT is an integrative therapy, integrating CBT and psychoanalytic approaches. EMDR is helpful in addressing difficulties associated with trauma.
I consider that my training & experience allow me to adopt & integrate different approaches to suit the needs of each individual. I believe the therapeutic relationship an essential element of therapy, creating a safe space where we can work collaboratively to gain an understanding of matters & to achieve change. www.allisonridleypsychology.co.uk
