I am a professional therapist offering a confidential service and help as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Essex.

CBT and EMDR

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Epping

Cognitive Therapy Services

 

All of the treatments I offer are based on the recommendations of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines. NICE.

The services I offer include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Specialised councelling services and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),

I offer CBT therapy. This is the most effective treatment available for many disorders including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety and Panic Attacks
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Work Related Stress
  • Social Phobia
  • Anxiety and Panic Attacks
  • Personality Problems
  • Drug Problems
  • Alcohol Problems
  • Eating Disorders
  • Low Self-Esteem
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
  • Performance Anxiety
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder

CBT is a therapy that helps you to change how you think and behave. CBT encourages you to talk and to understand how you think about yourself and how this will often support the problems that you have. The collaborative approach that is used will allow us to develop a treatment plan which will form the foundation for therapy enabling you to overcome unhelpful thinking and behaviours as well as difficult feelings. This will usually help you feel significantly better about your life.

CBT usually involves weekly sessions. The number of sessions varies greatly depending on what you want to achieve or the nature of your problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR),

I also offer EMDR therapy. This is also a NICE recommended treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Trauma.There is growing evidence that EMDR can also be helpful for a number of other problems that have developed following an emotional disturbance such as the difficulties people can experience following a significant loss. It is also effective for many other problems which started as a result of an emotional disturbance.

EMDR has been shown to make distressing memories feel less intense. EMDR can be used to help you deal with traumatic memories, such as those that come from accidents, injuries, sexual, physical or emotional abuse.
