I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Therapist working in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). I am also an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) therapist and a Registered Mental Health Nurse.

CBT Therapists work with children, young people and their families to understand how their thoughts and beliefs can affect their emotions, inside of their body and their behaviours.

Within CBT therapy the young person and their families gain a better understanding of the mental health needs and will also learn to develop different techniques and coping strategies to help them feel less distressed.
