I’m an accredited cognitive behavioural therapist with a background of over 30 years in general nursing. Sometimes navigating life is difficult. We may struggle to manage or feel stuck. This can lead to excessive worrying, anxiety, low self-esteem and low mood, affecting our sense of identity and preventing us living the life we want. It is normal to have some bad days, but sometimes, if these feelings persist, we may feel unsure as to how to move forward. If this resonates with you, then speaking to a therapist in a confidential and supportive environment could help make your difficulties seem a little more manageable.
With CBT, I can help you understand and navigate your problems by providing you with tools and techniques to help encourage more helpful thoughts and behaviours to allow you to move forward. CBT has been heavily proven to be help low mood, anxiety disorders, panic and other difficulties.
My approach is, compassionate, friendly and empathetic, and my background in nursing also gives some added value. In therapy we will work together to try and make sense of what is going on for you at a level and pace that you are comfortable with, so we can then work out a treatment plan that is right for you. My aim is to teach you to be your own therapist.
