Fiona is a qualified Cognitive Behaviour Therapist, registered and accredited by the BACP (614552). She has 10 yrs experience of working within NHS, public sector, EAP and educational settings and has worked with individuals and couples of all ages, including young people. She has experience of working with a range of issues, including clincal depression, anxiety, confidence and self esteem, personality disorder, domestic and sexual abuse, OCD, trauma, bipolar, addiction, relationships, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, bereavement, sexuality, life-limiting health issues and work-related stress.

Your work with Fiona will be time-limited and solution-focused, identifying ways of overcoming the distressing emotional and physical effects of your current thinking and behaviour patterns. You will work together, as a team, to identify achievable goals and explore with warmth, humour, compassion, respect and sensitivity, the problems you are currently experiencing and how they impact on you. Fiona's aim is always to help you help yourself, to empower you and help you take control of your life by giving you the tools to understand why you do what you do, and most importantly, what you can do about it.

Whilst trained in CBT, Fiona also integrates other approaches to tailor the work so that it best fits your needs. For example, TA explores relationship and interaction patterns, and Mindfulness helps us focus on present moment experiences rather than dwell on the past – which generates low mood, or worry about the future – which increases anxiety.

Fiona is also a member of the British Psychological Society and the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. She holds two first class Psychology degrees, which has given her an extensive understanding of the developmental, sociological, biological and psychological factors underlying the problems we face at times.

Fiona holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Consultative Supervision, which enables her to work with supervisees in clinical and non-clinical settings. She has extensive experience of working as a counsellor and supervisor within organisations, with young people in educational settings and with adults diagnosed with enduring mental health conditions.

Fiona is fully insured and her fees reflect her training, qualifications and experience. Referrals are welcome from individual, couples, EAPs, GPs and other health professionals. Fees are £50 per session.

You are welcome to contact Fiona to have an informal chat about your current needs, either by ringing 07599 009 300 or emailing cbtherapysolutions@outlook.com

Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT)
Registered Mental Nurse (RMN)

Susie has been working in mental health since she began her Nurse training in 1991. Her role for the last 10 years has involved providing therapy for a wide range of mental health problems whilst completing further training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and has now achieved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Europe Accreditation.
Her therapy of choice is EMDR which is one of the recommended therapies for the treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). EMDR uses eye movement to help process traumatic or disturbing memories in a very natural way, reducing emotion and relieving symptoms associated with the memory. It is now also being found to be very effective in treating many other problems such as depression, anxiety disorders and phobias.

If you would like to arrange an appointment or would like more information, you can contact Susie on 07983574596. She charges £50 per session.

When a client’s resources have increased to the extent of having acquired functioning self-regulation and self-soothing skills, a Trauma Process can be started in Phase II.

Phase II incorporates evidence based Interventions including Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy recommended in the Nice guidelines, as well as Image Rescripting and Reprocessing, Narrative Exposure Therapy and more recently the new intervention known as Brainspotting approved by the British Psychological Society which has its foundations in EMDR.

Phase III might be seen as integration and continuing development of Post-traumatic Growth.
