I provide a warm, understanding, and supportive space where we can work together to tackle challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, and overwhelming emotions. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to mental health; instead, I combine evidence-based methods to suit your individual needs. In our sessions, we will focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that may be holding you back. By integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), I help you replace these cycles with healthier, more rational ways of thinking. My goal is for you to develop a deeper self-understanding and gain the practical tools necessary to move forward with renewed confidence and self-acceptance. Working with me is not just about symptom management; it is about empowerment. I want to help you build self-respect and recognise yourself as your greatest asset. Together, we will work towards a life where you feel authorised to make your own choices and live in a way that feels truly authentic to you.

Step 2 — Pick a time Tomorrow 11:0012:3014:0015:30 Tue 25 Aug 11:0012:3014:00 Fri 28 Aug 11:0012:1513:3015:00 ## Meet Beth ## Background & Experience I hold an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), and I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS). My professional expertise is further enhanced by my qualification as an EMDR practitioner, which allows me to help clients process traumatic or distressing past experiences that continue to impact their present lives. My journey into therapy was driven by both professional training and personal experience. Having navigated my own periods of feeling lost and overwhelmed, I have seen first-hand how REBT can help challenge conflicting beliefs and promote self-compassion. In addition to CBT and EMDR, I incorporate elements of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to provide a comprehensive, goal-oriented service. ## How I Can Help I'll guide you through identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, empowering you to reduce distress and experience greater emotional clarity. We'll utilise evidence-based cognitive and behavioural techniques to equip you with practical, sustainable strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. I'll facilitate EMDR therapy to help you process past traumatic experiences, diminishing their emotional impact and fostering a sense of peace. We'll collaboratively build your self-esteem and self-compassion through structured, goal-oriented exercises, enabling you to embrace a more positive self-image. I'll introduce effective mindfulness and solution-focused techniques, providing you with real-world tools to navigate daily stressors and cultivate inner calm. We'll work together to replace self-defeating behaviours with actions that genuinely align with your core values and aspirations, fostering meaningful change.
