About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Shirley and I am a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) online and by telephone as studies have shown online therapy to be as effective as face-to-face therapy. You may already have a busy schedule, travel to work, live or work in remote locations and maybe have mobility issues. The convenience of being in your own home or other suitable location, at a time that suits you, without having to travel to appointments, means online therapy provides a really good solution to access your therapy. CBT is a problem-specific and pragmatic approach that helps you identify your specific problems and then we can work together to give you therapeutic tools and education that leads to long-term results.
Practice description
I have worked for over 25 years in education and accredited learning, including coaching and mentoring, and offer a warm, genuine and compassionate approach and aim to create a non-judgemental, safe space where you can explore challenges and move forward using CBT techniques. In 2013, I initially qualified in Person-Centred Counselling and subsequently qualified in Pluralistic Counselling. I went on to specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy. I also work a couple of days at a Further Education College as a Student Counsellor. I am BABCP Accredited (https://babcp.com/CBTRegister/Search#/) and am a Registered Member of BACP (MBACP).Formal Qualifications:
Postgraduate Diploma in Psychological Therapies (CBT) (Distinction) (The University of Edinburgh)

My first session
I ask each client to complete a Therapy Initial Enquiry Form in advance of our initial session to give a little background of yourself and what you are seeking from therapy.
The first session gives us a chance to start to discuss this and form a Therapy Agreement based on a therapeutic assessment and our discussions. This helps form an agreed Individual Treatment Plan for your therapy which is tailored to you and your needs.
