Hello!
I am qualified and registered as a Psychotherapist, a Hypnotherapist and Hearing Therapy practitioner, and specialise in the delivery of therapy for clients with tinnitus, anxiety disorders including OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), PTSD (Post Trauma Stress Disorder), GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) and depression. I use Clinical Outcome measures as a matter of course for every treatment be that for tinnitus management, cognitive therapy (including CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) for stress, anxiety and depression, relaxation courses and the Stress Reduction Clinic
I was Head of Hearing Therapy Services based in Burnley and Blackburn at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust for 9 years 2001-2010, with responsibility for specialist rehabilitative service provision for tinnitus, hyperacusis, balance/vestibular disorders and hearing loss.
I left the NHS at the end of May 2010 after 17 years as a Hearing Therapist specialising in helping people with distressing tinnitus and related psychological / emotional problems. Prior to moving to Lancashire, I was based in Birmingham and before that, in Epping, Essex
Since leaving the NHS, I have been able to devote more time to in-depth therapy work with my patients.
As well as providing mainstream psychological therapies, I am a Director of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy Limited. I provide training for Audiologists (NHS and those in private practice) in Counselling Skills and Tinnitus Management, and I continue to lecture at The University of Manchester as a Guest Lecturer in Tinnitus for their BSc and MSc Audiology courses, since being seconded to the university from my NHS Hearing Therapy practice in 2006
My work also includes undertaking therapy for medical-legal clients arranged through their solicitors. Medical-legal work is carried out either in the Consulting Rooms at The Beardwood Hospital, Blackburn where I have Practicing Privileges, or at the Clitheroe Therapies Clinic in central Clitheroe
