About our Sessions

CBT, Counter Conditioning and Trauma 

Distanced Couple

At my practice, I predominantly utilise Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is commonly referred to as a talking therapy that can help people to manage their problems by changing the way they think about them and how they behave. It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression but it can also be used for many other mental and physical health related difficulties. From a Psychology perspective, I am Jungian (Analytical Psychology) and model my practices on the Jungian form of therapy (Jungian Analysis), which is designed to bring the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind together in order to help people feel balanced and whole.


This type of therapy helps to improve the lives of people with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, phobias, relationship issues, trauma issues, low self-esteem, and emotional difficulties.Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my patients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with any of life’s various obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide patients with effective tools to help them see the glass half full instead of half empty.

Therapy Prices

The first meeting is an Introductory Session, which I offer at a reduced rate. This will give you an opportunity to meet with me and ask any questions that you have. We can then explore what you are seeking from Counselling. I will then explain how I work and look at how we can move forward. If we decide that the sessions will work for you, we can then arrange regular meetings. As well as the private sessions at my practice, I can also accomodate FaceTime/Skype in online sessions, as well as home visits or an outdoor walking session. I am flexible with time and days, as I'm aware of people in shift work or their regular daily commitments, and that fixed times are not always possible. Each session lasts for 60 minutes. The introductory session is £45.00, followed by regular sessions at £85.00 per hour.

I have worked in Mental Health since 2000, and after several years of working within the NHS on both Psychiatric Acute and Intensive Care Units (PICU), I decided to go to university to do my Mental Health nurse training, having attended both UCLAN and the University of Cumbria. Since then I have continued with numerous Mental Health training courses and CPD eventually progressing from Mental Health nursing into Psychotherapy and what is known as Talking Therapy. I am an NHS and UCLAN certified Phlebotomist.

How we work

COMPASSIONATE - HUMANISTIC - ANALYTICAL

Business Meeting

Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? In 2014, I opened the doors to my practice to patients in Preston offering them a wide range of counseling and psychological services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times.


Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

​

​I refer to my practice as offering Cognitive Psychology and Counter-Conditioning Therapy, which essentially means that I use the science of behaviour and the mind (including conscious and unconscious), as well as feelings and thoughts to relate to intellectual activity with thinking, reasoning, or remembering and then, where needed, I apply a Counter conditioning technique that focuses on changing a persons response to their affecting stimuli, such as reacting with less fear or stress (gaining control), or using counter-conditioning to turn a positive or pleasurable response into a negative response such as to stop smoking.

Emergency Psychiatry has always been my main focus having mostly worked with the PICU setting, and I love helping patients develop the tools they need to cope with life’s challenges. 
Psychotherapists are trained to listen to you attentively, but at the same time listening to things that you communicate unconsciously. Psychotherapy is not something that the therapist does to you, it is a collaboration where you and the therapist work together, but it is not an instant treatment. If you would like to come and have a chat, please email me to book a 45 minute introductory session. I look forward to speaking with you.
