CBT-T Practitioner
At SYEDA I deliver CBT-T, a ten-session version of CBT targeting behavioural and cognitive change for those experiencing binging and/or purging. The therapy is manual based but is designed to be flexible to suit the individual. CBT-T is very much a ‘doing therapy’ requiring behavioural change which I will guide you through, as well as addressing issues such as poor body image.
Before starting at SYEDA I completed a First Class degree in Psychology and a Masters degree with Distinction in Psychological Research Methods, both at the University of Sheffield. Since graduating I worked as a support worker for children and young people with autism spectrum disorder and complex needs. I then began working at the University of Sheffield as a research assistant in the Clinical and Applied Psychology Unit, primarily working in the field of eating disorders. I also volunteer at SHOUT, a text-based crisis helpline.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time outside (particularly with my horse!), or inside with a good book.
