Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Liverpool
Why work with me? Life can be really overwhelming and challenging. This can make us feel hopeless and alone with our thoughts. You may feel anxious, worried, or sad about things that have happened in your life. It's common to feel stuck, and let negative thoughts affect you. You may need help to find a healthier way of thinking, and find some coping strategies. You might have deep emotional wounds you want to heal. Through my own experiences with trauma and grief and loss I can empathise and relate to how you feel. Together, in a non judgemental safe space, we can look at how these feelings affect you, and build a relationship.

I work with individuals who are dealing with depression or common anxiety problems. These anxiety problems can be Generalised Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Social Anxiety or Health Anxiety. Often individuals are aware of the difficulties but are not sure where to start. Having motivation and an open curiousness about the process supports the gains individuals can make in therapy. With my extensive skills I assess to find out what the main problems are, taking the view that the individual is an expert in what they are experiencing. I work in a collaborative way to find a solution to reduce the impact of the symptoms on their life.

I work with clients who have a wide variety of experiences, issues and needs. Many of my clients want to become less self critical and more accepting of themselves. They want to learn more about how their presenting issues connect together and what they can do to have better. Clients may want to understand themselves and their interactions with other people and enhance their self-esteem and confidence.

I fully understand how challenging life can be at times, and sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our worries can create feelings of anxiety and depression, which can in turn make us feel isolated, alone and misunderstood. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is on your mind can be incredibly powerful in enabling you to unburden and begin to heal. By being truly listened to, perhaps for the first time, I believe you can start to make sense of your experiences and find solutions to whatever is troubling you.

Hi, I'm Dr Bekah! I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Feminist Therapist. I specialise in gendered experiences such as birth trauma, perinatal mental health, violence towards women, motherhood, divorce and separation. Most commonly I work with people socialised as women struggling with difficult childhood experiences including emotional neglect, low mood, anxiety, anger, or more general feelings of dissatisfaction. When working with clients I think about patriarchal expectations and narratives and their impact on women (e.g. unequal division of unpaid labour, heteronormative ideals, control of women's bodies, etc).
