My approach to Trichotillomania
I have experience of working with adults with Trichotillomania in NHS talking therapies and a specialist anxiety disorder service. The approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), habit reversal training and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
About me
I am passionate about supporting my clients through their mental health journeys. My approach is warm, approachable, and empathetic, fostering a safe space for collaboration and growth. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, and I strive to empower my clients to develop practical strategies that lead to meaningful change. With more than a decade of experience in the NHS, I have spent the last five years working in an NHS talking therapies service and most recently in a specialist NHS anxiety service with a particular focus on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). My background also includes working with individuals facing eating disorders and disordered eating, allowing me to bring a comprehensive understanding of various mental health challenges. I have recently qualified in EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) which is a therapy that can help people who have experienced distressing events to recover.
