Today a young person who I've been treating for OCD and helping with managing their overwhelming emotions asked me for a pause in treatment.

They have been getting on really well, making clear improvements, navigating difficult situations, communicating their needs, dealing with their OCD bully.

However, there is a demand that this time of year brings. We all understand it, don't we? Whether we are a parent, child, young person or elder, we can relate to having a gazzilion things on our to do list and numerous social events. There are lots of expectations for this time of year. Some of them we want to meet, some of them we're not so bothered about.

The fact that this young person was able to communicate to me their needs, to say, "right now I need..." is such a big deal, a big step, progress! I simply have to celebrate this.

Anyone who has had treatment with me knows I am not a 'pushy' therapist. I will not take advantage of, or coerce anyone. I will not make you feel guilty for not attending an appointment, or try to lock you into a certain number of sessions. It's all on your terms.

I can inform you of what research shows is best for outcomes and NICE guidelines, but I know that you are more than a number in a random clinical control trial. You are a person and as my client, you have a choice, a voice, control, even if you are only 14 years old!

This is something I was unable to offer when I was working within adult IAPT/ talking therapies or CAMHS. In fact, having flexibility is one of the reasons I pride myself on and this is something I NEVER ever want to change.

Hello Autumn,

I know for a lot of people, autumn is their favourite time of year. I, however find the transition from long, warm, summer nights to short cold days, a struggle.

So, of course, like a true CBT therapist, rather than wallowing in despair and thinking of everything that makes this time of a year a struggle, I've put up twinkling fairy lights, lit the scented candles, and I am looking out for all things wonderful about autumn to begin to change my usual narrative.

Please help me out. What do you love about autumn?

This morning was all about Safeguarding children and ensuring I'm up to date with all the necessary training. You learn something new everyday.

A moment of reflection

Over the last 5 years my work has changed quite a bit. The focus has changed. I still provide psychotherapeutic interventions in the form of CBT and EMDR.

But now, my work is predominantly training and supervision for High and Low Intensity CBT therapists, and Trainees working with children and young people (CYP), as well as, adults.

I will never not enjoy providing psychotherapeutic treatment for the young, elderly and everyone in between.

It appears that supervision and training is not disimilar to providing psychotherapy.

There's nothing I find more rewarding than being part of someone's life changing journey, sharing those lightbulb moments and watching the butterfly unfold their beautiful wings from the cocoon and fly.

The beginning of this week has been all about training - topping up Continuing Professional Development - an essential part of my work.
I've learnt so much!
Knowledge. Resources. Techniques. Skills.
All to pass on to help young children, young people and their families in need.

The last day of the year.
You've made it to the end!

Perhaps at this time you might like to take the opportunity to reflect on:
what's passed;
what you've endured;
or still fighting;
near misses;
your achievements;
those laugh out loud moments;
precious memories.

Consider also reflecting on:
what/who you're grateful for;
your skills, abilities and strengths.

The New Year often brings hope and there's usually lots of dreams and plans for the future but let's also remember all the things we love, enjoy & find comfort in our lives already.

Let's celebrate the things that got you through 2024.
Let's celebrate YOU!

Happy New Year!

CBT will not move someone to being neurotypical, nor should it!
CBT therapists do not treat the ASD itself.

CBT is about teaching cognitive and behavioral skills and strategies that will help the person move closer to their goals, as well as preventative strategies to decrease or prevent symptoms of comorbid mental health concerns, such as anxiety disorders and depression.

People with ASD have unique cognitive and behavioral styles, which vary with the severity of their ASD symptoms.Therefore, as with any client, we creatively adapt and adjust CBT to meet the strengths and needs of the individual.

A brilliant podcast... for anyone wanting to know more about what it's like to have OCD...for anyone with OCD who needs to hear they are not alone...for anyone who needs hope and reassurance in mental health treatment.

Last year I completed CBT treatment with a 10 year old boy. When we first met he was so anxious he was refusing to go to school and finding it difficult to sleep alone.

During therapy he was an absolute Superstar and he always completed home tasks. He learnt coping strategies to manage his anxiety and achieved his goals for therapy.

Today, 6 months since finishing therapy, I received an update. He is not only continuing to do well. Astoundingly, he has stood, on his own, in front of 100+ people to do a reading! (How many people do you know who would be prepared to do that?)

I am so utterly proud of him and his determination to fight anxiety.
