THERAPY FOR PSYCHOSIS

 

Experiencing psychosis can be frightening, confusing and isolating. You may be hearing or seeing things that other people don't, experiencing unusual or distressing beliefs, feeling watched or unsafe, or finding it difficult to know what is real and what isn't.

 

You may also be trying to make sense of an episode of psychosis that has already happened, adjusting to a diagnosis, or worrying about becoming unwell again. Whatever your experience, therapy can provide a safe, non-judgemental space to talk openly about what is happening without feeling dismissed, challenged or defined by a diagnosis. I provide specialist psychotherapy for people experiencing psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder with psychotic experiences, hearing voices, unusual beliefs, paranoia and altered perceptions.

 

Specialist Training in Psychosis

​​

More Than a Diagnosis

A diagnosis such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder can sometimes begin to overshadow everything else about a person. But you are more than a diagnosis.

 

Training

I have specialist postgraduate training in psychosis from King’s College London and incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis (CBT-P) within my integrative approach. Rather than challenging or dismissing your experiences, we work together to understand what you are going through, reduce distress and find practical ways to help you feel safer and more in control.
