My name is Taf and I am a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Psychotherapist working in Reading, Berkshire RG1. I also provide CBT online via Skype and video link.

I have experience in a range of Mental Health Care and Addiction Services throughout my career, both as a clinician, as a supervisor and in leadership roles. I offer evidence-based psychological interventions for individuals who are experiencing mental health conditions, in particular depression and anxiety disorders.

Within my clinical work, I use approaches approved by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) or otherwise supported by a scientific evidence base. My central models of therapy are CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention. I also have a strong interest in CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy).

Areas of special interest and experience include PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD and difficulties with self-esteem. I also work with individuals with physical health symptoms, or complicated grief, to facilitate the process of adjustment.

I aim to support clients to build on their strengths, as well as to learn new skills, to overcome life challenges.
