A VERY WARM WELCOME TO CBT & EMDR IN CHELTENHAM, GLOUCESTERSHIRE

"A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step" Lao Tzu 600-531 BC

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you will find my site useful and informative, both about me and how I work as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. The decision to seek counselling or psychotherapy can be daunting so in order to help you decide whether CBT or EMDR may be suitable for you, I offer a free 15 minute confidential phone consultation. This will give you an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. Please phone or email me. 

I treat depression, low self-esteem, phobias, and anxiety disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD ), panic disorder and social anxiety. My special interest is post traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) and complex trauma. Complex post traumatic stress disorder ( C-PTSD ) is a syndrome that follows trauma that has been repeated and prolonged. It is often seen in combat veterans, rape victims and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. 

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (www.babcp.com). Please click on this link if you wish to check if a therapist is accredited. The benefits of a BABCP accredited practitioner are that it ensures an adherence to the BABCP's standards of conduct, performance and ethics in the practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.

An accredited practitioner is also required to have ongoing supervision and continued professional development. This means that I must demonstrate and evidence at least 30 hours of continued professional development every single year. Ongoing supervision is a minimum requirement of one hour per month. Presently, there are two listed BABCP accredited practitioners in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
