How do you choose a therapist? Experience and training are important: I have been practising for over 26 years and completed 3 distinct degree level qualifications; psychotherapy, CBT and mindfulness (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy)' Also EMDR. WE will discuss which therapy is right for you. Sessions will gently enquire of emotion, regulation, body sense, behaviours in difficult situations, gradually facilitating self awareness and awareness of situations. Exploring brings understanding. Tis will involve direction from me in this. Professional bodies: UKCP for psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic counselling BABCP for CBT.
The psychotherapy approach entails working, immediately but, kindly with exploration at your pace. The CBT approach is more direct and involves ACT (Acceptance and Commitment therapy). This is best for overcoming anxiety via homework tasks (logging alongside mindfulness exercises of present moment) so when anxiety happens, you can ACT differently, change it.
I have 3 separate Masters level trainings and have been working as a psychological therapist since the mid 90's. 23 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.
