CBT/DBT/EMDR Therapist - Adults & Adolescents
Price per session: £110
Hi, my name is Heather, I am the Founder and Director of Yorkshire Psychotherapy Ltd. I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, with almost 30 years experience of working in the mental health field.
After a long career in the NHS, I launched Yorkshire Psychotherapy Ltd in January 2015. I have since developed the practice to include Associate Therapists who offer a wide range of therapies to individuals and businesses. I work as a Clinical Supervisor and have many years experience of working with people who struggle with emotional problems, including trauma, depression and anxiety. I have a particular interest in working with complex trauma and emotional dysregulation, including neurodiversity.
I use a range of therapeutic techniques in my clinical practice including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills.
I am very passionate about helping others to understand, recognise and tolerate their emotions, which is the first step in helping to overcome a range of mental health problems. I offer online sessions face to face or via zoom.
I provide Consultancy, Groups and Workshops to a range of businesses and also provide Business Coaching and Mentoring for Therapists starting out in private practice. I also co-host a popular mental health podcast ‘From the therapists chair‘.
I undertake regular clinical supervision with an accredited supervisor, am DBS checked and have Public Liability Insurance.
