How do you choose a therapist? Personal recommendations are invaluable and, also, your individual needs might be different. My endeavour is to facilitate your self awareness as well as your awareness of others and situations. Whichever modality of therapy you choose our work together gently directs your awareness to ‘what is happening but, also, to ‘how you are viewing and applying yourself’ when in difficulty. This can be radically different to many ‘non directive’ therapies and can involve real change quite quickly! Professional bodies: UKCP for psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling BABCP for CBT
2 options: the psychotherapy approach entails working, immediately but, kindly and gradually at your pace, with your difficulties. The CBT approach is ACT (Acceptance and Commitment therapy): directly for overcoming anxiety via homework tasks (journalling alongside mindfulness exercises of present moment) so when it happens, you ACT differently, changing it.
I have 3 separate Masters level trainings and have been working as a psychological therapist since the mid 90's. 17 years experience of working in the NHS as a psychotherapist since 2002. I have been through many personal and significant life changes and challenges so you will get someone who is real and open with you.
