The Journey Begins

I am an accredited CBT Psychotherapist, a writer, senior lecturer and clinical supervisor who trained and also trains in different cognitive and behavioural approaches including traditional CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnosis, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness (MBCT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, ACT or NA-CBT. With a career spanning over almost 30 years in the mental health field, I dotted many 'i's and crossed many 't's in mental health, forensic and substance misuse clinics as a clinical head, clinical supervisor or just psychotherapist. I have always felt drawn towards complex cases of low self-esteem and childhood trauma but also at the other end of the spectrum by the prospect of enhancing performance and abilities through a positive mindset. As such, over the years I developed my own behavioural approaches.. Neuroaffective-CBT mostly for chronic negative emotions, Emotion-Focused CBT for interpersonal/relationship problems and Sports-CBT for enhancing performance in sports. Through this website I will share some of my clinical experience and my research findings with you but also my passion for the human mind which will never cease to surprise me...
