Are you struggling with anxiety or low mood, relationships with others, or have you experienced traumatic events in childhood or as an adult which are impacting you now? Have you experienced therapy where you felt your needs were not adequately met or you were being "fitted into a box? Did therapy just focus on the here and now? CBT can be a very successful therapy but in some services it can leave people feeling like they are failing and not focusing on what they want to. I believe that the therapeutic relationship and feeling safe in therapy is essential for progress and this is at the centre of my work.
I originally trained in CBT but have specialised now in EMDR, Schema Therapy, and integrate Internal Family Systems to focus on the attachment relationship with clients, helping them see that they are not a problem but that there are just different parts of them trying to cope with what they have experienced in life.
You may have been told that you are the problem and may believe and feel this strongly but I want to work with you on recognising why past experiences have contributed towards this. When we recognise and accept parts of us that are struggling then this can help us move forward in healing from our past.
