I trained at the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies and the EMDR Centre, both in London. I hold the following relevant qualifications:
Certificate in EMDR

BA (Hons) in Social Science (including Psychology)
MA in Leadership and Change.
I offer a range of therapeutic interventions. My training and particular interest is focused on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) which is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also specialise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.
REBT and CBT are borne from the philosophy that people are not disturbed by events but by the view they take of those events. In other words it is our beliefs about a situation rather than the situation itself that lead to us becoming stuck in unhealthy negative emotion such as anxiety, depression or anger.
EMDR involves recalling distressing events while receiving bilateral sensory input, like side-to-side eye movements. This method helps individuals heal from trauma, extreme anxiety and phobias.
I take clients through a process that helps them first to understand their unhealthy emotions, secondly to understand the irrational demands they are placing upon themselves and the beliefs that flow from those demands and then to help them change those beliefs by changing the way they think and behave.
With EMDR, after taking a case history, I take clients through the standard 8 stage protocol to help them deal with 'stuck' traumatic memories and thoughts.
The work is very much goal orientated. We work systematically through a problem, helping clients to build resilience and unconditional self-acceptance.
