Brenda Barrass

 I have been working in the field of mental health and emotional well being for 20 years in the NHS, voluntary sector and more recently in private practice.  I prefer to treat everyone as an individual and to work out with you what your concerns are and what you would like to be different.

What do I provide?

• Evidence based talking therapy treatment for a range of psychological, emotional or mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, worry, stress, panic, phobias, OCD, post-traumatic stress, sleep problems,  see FAQs for full list of problems treated.
• Individual and couples Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) from age 16 upwards who are funding themselves or by referral from insurance companies and occupational health providers.  EMDR for single/multiple traumas or distressing events.  ACT and Mindfulness based approaches, which  come under the umbrella of CBT therapies, with a slightly different emphasis to more traditional CBT.
• A welcoming, supportive environment where we can work together to understand your difficulties,  plan your road to recovery and improve your emotional wellbeing.
• A professional, confidential service from an accredited therapist with 20 years experience in mental health and therapy services in the NHS and private sector.
