Hi, I’m Angela, a senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, with extensive experience offering therapy in adults (16+) across public health and private healthcare settings.
Book a sessionSeeking therapy is a brave and challenging step to take, and it is essential that you match with a therapist who communicates in an empathic, understanding, honest and non-judgmental manner. A solid, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the bedrock of therapy quality, where you can work on sensitive subjects and make the changes required for improved wellbeing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-centred counselling are my main therapeutic models. I am a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist, and I am in the process of qualifying as an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist after attending doctorate-level training on psychodynamic, humanistic and systemic therapy models, as well as third-wave CBT approaches (e.g., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focussed Therapy). My extensive training and experience have provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to create a trusting and warm therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, comfortable and committed to working on your therapy goals. I approach my work flexibly and creatively and strive to offer a bespoke approach that fits your needs and style. A brief overview of the therapy process: Therapy starts with an assessment phase, which involves information gathering and understanding what brought you to seek therapy. We also tend to consider your expectations and hopes for treatment. I will provide you with relevant resources and information and ask you about past experiences to help understand and consider how past experiences and influences may be linked to current problems.
