Bupa Counselling in Telford

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience of working with adults and young people (16 years and over) in the NHS. I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society. I am an accredited practitioner in EMDR. I help people with a range of emotional difficulties, including low mood, anxiety (including Generalised Anxiety Disorder), obsessive-compulsive problems, eating issues, PTSD and dealing with the effects of trauma or abuse, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, poor body image, loss, and adjustment difficulties following stressful life events.

I have worked in mental health as a mental health nurse for many years, and I have over 30 years' experience working for the NHS and I am fully accredited by BABCP to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I take an integrative-based approach towards CBT. This means I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify their negative behaviours and patterns. Together, we shall develop methods to aid change. There is no single approach that works for everyone, but I do emphasise the importance of creating a safe place to share your fears and concerns. I also place great importance on the individual at the centre of the therapy.

Are you struggling to preserve healthy relationships, easily overwhelmed in life or lacking confidence in your capabilities? I am passionate about helping you live your life to the fullest. As a counsellor, I am dedicated to developing a positive and helpful partnership with you during the therapeutic process. Working with you, I look at how your environment, life experiences, and current relationships affect your choices and the decisions you make. I work with young people and adults who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and struggle with work/life balance and executive coaching.

I work with a range of clients and issues. Work can be long term, short term or somewhere in between. My focus is on assisting my client to identify the issue and anything that then needs to happen. The work is at my client's pace and I am a warm and encouraging therapist, mindful of difference and diversity. Over the past 18 years I have worked with clients from age 5 to 78, each client is unique, no therapy session is the same.

I am an accredited, qualified, advanced Counsellor and Psychotherapist practising Couples and Relationship Counselling, CBT, EMDR and Sex Therapy and Addiction. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists MBACP (Accred), and an Accredited member of EMDR, member of the College of Sexual and Relationships Therapy (COSRT). This work includes Relationship and couples counselling for problems including those of a sexual nature. I work with private clients, Insurance companies, Relate and the NHS, IAPT and EAP's, Solicitors and Medico Legal work.
