Going Forward

About Going Forward Welcome to Going Forward with CBT– Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Services in Wakefield. I am a fully qualified CBT practitioner and have completed the Post Graduate Degree to Masters level in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy at the University of Huddersfield. I am also BABCP registered. My work as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, provides a personalised and confidential approach to talking therapy for adults aged 18 and over. My 35 years’ of experience, within the field of mental health, has involved both community and crisis work. It is my belief that my nursing background (within mental health) has served to provide a strong foundation for the delivery of effective CBT to clients' attending my therapy clinics - both past and present . How does CBT work? CBT is one of the most well researched talking therapies to date. In essence, CBT helps us to work together to identify the key links between our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and physical responses. This can then help us to understand and make sense a clients’ responses/reactions to our problems – which can often be unhelpful. My training, skills, and experience allow me to work with clients affected by the following conditions: · Depression or low mood · Anxiety symptoms including panic attacks and agoraphobia · Worry/GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) · Phobias · Social anxiety · Low self esteem · Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) · Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) · Sleep problems · Physical health problems · Stress management & work related stress · Anger · Confidence & assertiveness problems · Problem solving & decision making Is my information shared with anyone else ? Your information will not be shared with anyone else unless you have provided consent to do so. For example, you may wish to consent to a letter to your GP should consideration of a medication review be needed. How is my information is kept confidential?
