David Fong
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Sheffield

If you're looking through these pages, then perhaps you or a loved one have been struggling with difficult situations, overwhelming emotions, thoughts that you can't seem to un - stick and patterns you can't seem to break. Perhaps you've been thinking of accessing help for a while, but find it daunting. I'd really like to put you at ease and reassure you that the right help is out there. I'm a highly trained and experienced doctor of clinical psychology with more than 20 years experience in the NHS, child and family courts, the voluntary and private sectors. I've been an honorary teacher at doctorate level as well as supervising and managing the next generation of mental health professionals and can bring all of this experience and expertise to bear on helping you, a loved one of your family make the changes you want to see. Drop me an email or call for a free 15 minute consultation, so that we can get that process of change started for you.

Approach to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & How I Work

I'd like to reach a shared understanding with you of the key issues you want to work on, so that we're both working together on the same problems. I like to get my clients practising new ways of thinking and being in sessions ( and more importantly, outside of sessions in the real world) so that you can have that experience of success; and all this takes place in the context of a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship that promotes trust. Where there is an existing research evidence base, we can use that to keep our work on track, all the while remembering that everybody is an individual and an approach that works with, for example, one person with depression, may not work for someone else with similar difficulties. I usually offer weekly sessions which can then be tapered off once you feel you're at a point of being able to do so. I work out of three therapy centres in Sheffield, UK (on Thursdays and Fridays), but also offer zoom sessions to those in other parts of the UK and the world at other times.
