About Tangerine Lotus Counselling and CBT

---

I am an integrative counsellor, and therefore I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to treat a variety of mental health issues. These include using creative and somatic interventions (including the rewind technique) to work with childhood trauma and PTSD, but also Person Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) techniques to treat depression. These are NHS approved approaches, with evidence to support their efficacy. In addition, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Again this is an evidence based approach which is particularly effective for working with various forms of anxiety (EG general, social, OCD and phobia), as well for treating anger management problems. CBT also provides you with helpful tools that enable you to self-manage any future mental health problems. I am also trained to work with grief and loss of any kind, including bereavement from the death of a loved one, but also divorce, separation and pet bereavement.​​

​In the first instance, I will suggest a telephone consultation where we can explore your hopes and goals for therapy. I can also answer any questions you might have about me or my practice, and we can work out how we might work together. Once we start working together I will suggest regular reviews of our progress. These reviews will use NHS approved mental health audit tools to guide us to a successful outcome.
