Clinical psychologists are trained over a number of years in a range of therapeutic theories and treatment approaches. My own therapeutic style is underpinned by my knowledge of attachment theory and how our formative years influence our psychological development. Alongside this, I have received additional training and specialise in using the following interventions and frameworks.

THERAPIES OFFERED

CBT

  • Linking our thinking styles to our feelings and actions

(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

  • NICE recommended for a range of difficulties, including anxiety and depressive disorders, and PTSD

EMDR

  • A highly effective treatment for trauma

(Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

  • NICE recommended for PTSD, but also used with some other difficulties with good effect

CAT

  • A framework for determining the patterns in our relationships that are unhelpful or destructive

(Cognitive Analytical Therapy)

  • Can be used to help people identify patterns in relationships over time, as well as determining what forms of therapy may be most effective

CFT

  • How we consider our self and respond to our personal needs and desires

(Compassion Focused Therapy)

  • A useful therapy for the treatment of low self-esteem and can be incorporated into CBT
