Hi, I'm Jasmine
About Me:
I have been working in mental health for 15 years, and working using cognitive behavioural principles for the last 13 years. I qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2018.
During my career in the NHS, I have helped hundreds of people overcome their anxiety/depression and work towards their goals.
In my previous NHS career I have held a Senior Psychological Practitioner role, and have been a Clinical Lead for a team of Psychological Well-being Practitioners within an NHS Talking Therapies Service. I have also been involved in the teaching team for the Postgraduate Diploma in Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Intervention course, as an Honorary Clinical Teacher and Seminar Tutor.
I have completed additional top up training to deliver Evidence-based CBT for Long Term Health Conditions (LTC's). I have also undergone Autism Training, adapting CBT to work with people with Autism. I have an interest in British Sign Language, and have completed BSL Level 1, and have worked with people who are deaf in therapy.
I am an encouraging therapist who believes that change is possible. Sometimes, we might need to break it down into lots of little steps, but each step forward is a step towards a happier and healthier you.
I believe that everyone has the potential to transform their life and reach their full potential. I love helping clients to better understand themselves, to learn practical skills and to reclaim their lives.
Everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and we work together to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
Who do I work with?
I work with adults experiencing common mental health problems such as anxiety, worry, stress, low self-esteem and depression.
I am trained to work with a range of issues such as, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), health anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and phobias.
I specialise in panic and phobias, and have a particular interest in emetophobia (vomit phobia) and blood/needle/injury phobia.
I can also help with stress management, relaxation, and sleep problems.
I utilise a range of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings to foster a deeper understanding of yourself and work towards your therapy goals.
