I am very fortunate to be following my passion - using Compassion Focused Therapy and Occupational Therapy in private practice based in central Norwich. My aim is to be a 'travel companion' to clients rather than a 'travel agent', in an environment of warmth, compassion and understanding. Compassionate Focused Therapy facilitates sustainable recovery for individuals with mental health difficulties, emotional burn-out, issues with guilt or shame and/or self criticism. The work is collaborative and uses guided discovery involving psycho-education, imagery and mindfulness. Mental Health Occupational Therapy helps with return to work issues, finding work/ a career and finding fulfillment from everyday activities. I also offer Compassionate Mind Training to individuals and groups. Available for 6-8 sessions of guided discovery to enable our compassionate minds to grow and flourish. Useful for carers, health professionals, people with long term health conditions and those providing support to others in voluntary organisations. Individual sessions are £45 with costs negotiable for groups. I also work with Breakeven providing free therapeutic support to anyone affected by Problem Gambling.
