CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Wilmslow Cheshire

Geraldine Claire CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Wilmslow Cheshire

My career in mental health began in 2002 when I started working with young people and adults with mild to enduring mental health difficulties and this is where my love of working with people began. Psychotherapy became my passion and I undertook training in four psychotherapies: Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy. These varied approaches allow me to treat common mental health problems such as anxiety difficulties or low mood, or, deeper-rooted issues stemming from childhood. There are also specific areas that I have a special interest in working with:

• Self Esteem Difficulties, Eating Disorders and Body Image Problems

• Complex Trauma

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

• Repeated Toxic Relationship Patterns

Over the last 20 years, I have worked within the third sector, the NHS and the private sector. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I have delivered mental health awareness training to a wide range of professionals, advised television shows on mental health-specific storylines and I supervise and train other psychotherapists.
