​​​​
Hi, I’m Abi. I’ve been studying and training in the field of mental health and self-development for the last 30 years. Professionally, I'm a fully qualified BABCP Registered Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, a High Intensity CBT Supervisor, Clinical Lead, Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner and am certified in Sound Healing.
​
My clinical working background is in both NHS IAPT Talking Therapies, voluntary mental health organisations and private practice. I have worked extensively and successfully with national and international clients and individuals with physical, developmental and behavioural differences. I have worked as a senior Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, a Clinical Supervisor, a Clinical Fellow, a Clinical Lead, an Adoption Support Worker and a Mental Health Trainer to name some. I have written blogs, been interviewed for newspapers and podcasts and been the co-host of a talk show highlighting the impact of mental health on BAME communities in the UK. I further consult on mental health initiatives to educational institutions across the globe.
​
I work with adult individuals and groups, primarily using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to address common anxiety and mood disorders. I will assist individuals to recognise and understand their challenges and provide techniques to overcome and manage them.​
About Me
​
My therapeutic style promotes partnership working and will always be considerate of experience, culture, learning styles and abilities. Every individual will be matched to the style most suited to their needs.
​
​My specialisms include depression and anxiety disorders e.g. Social Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Panic Disorder, Phobias, General Anxiety Disorder, and Agoraphobia, but I also have considerable experience working with stress related issues often derived from low self-esteem and perfectionism. I am also experienced in using adapted CBT for those with neurodivergent needs. Though these are some of the more common disorders, my experience extends beyond those listed, so please feel free to call to discuss.
