Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Clinical Hypnosis
EMDR
Schema Therapy
Mindfulness Meditation

Schema and Emotion Focussed Therapies
Shijoku (Forest Bathing)
Assessment
Using psychometric tests helps both myself and clients understand underlying personality and diagnostic aspects to provide a roadmap to recovery.
Tests include:
Personality [MMPI-2]
Measures of resilience & ability to cope with pressure and change [MTQ+]
Depression, Anxiety & Stress [DASS21]
Post Traumatic Stress [PCL]
Eating Disorder [EQ]
Schema [SQI]
And, because it's important to know how clients are responding and how effective they find sessions, I use the Outcome Rating Scale (client self-report of well-being) and the Session Rating Scale (client satisfaction and engagement)
