Hi I’m Andrew, a BABCP-accredited CBT & EMDR therapist with more than 20 years’ experience working in both the NHS and private healthcare. I started out working in the NHS in 2004 but since 2015 I have worked in private practice specialising in anxiety related difficulties.
I have a special interest in working with trauma. I have worked with a significant proportion of clients in the emergency services dealing with trauma. I have also worked with a large proportion of clients dealing with workplace related stress/burnout.
My priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable discussing what you’re going through. Together we’ll understand what’s maintaining the difficulties, develop practical coping strategies, and work towards lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.
I have been fully BABCP accredited since 2012 – Membership number 100405.
I am also a member of the EMDR Association UK.
I hold full Professional Liability Insurance and Enhanced DBS.
Difficulties I most commonly work with:
Trauma/PTSD
Work related stress/Burnout
Anxiety/Panic
Health Anxiety/Death Anxiety
OCD
Low Self Worth/Low Self Esteem
Neurodiversity related challenges
Phobias
