My background
I qualified as a CBT Therapist in 2018. I undertook the Royal Holloway CBT certificate and diploma, and did my hands-on training in a London IAPT service (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies), before applying for a job closer to home. I've gained 4 additional years experience within an NHS setting, working on a wide variety of mental health disorders.
I am currently adding EMDR skills, and will complete my EMDR training in February 2024. I am already working successfully with EMDR clients.
Before training to be a therapist, I worked as a coach for 15 years, mainly with a focus on people's career issues. It became apparent that many people had deep-seated issues affecting their working life, and I decided that I needed to gain the mental health training which would allow me to work with people on their issues.
I am accredited by the BABCP, membership number 150745. You can check this on their website, www.babcp.com, by using the 'find a therapist' tab. Ongoing membership of the BABCP requires a minimum amount of continual personal development, and adhering to rigorous standards of behaviour and ethics. I am also a member of the EMDR Association.
I look forward to working with you on creating a meaningful and fulfilling life.
