Empower Change and Achieve Balance From Within
Struggling with your mental health?
Seeking therapy help from a qualified and accredited therapist that can provide the clarity and support you need.
​
As a dedicated Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT) based in Crawley, West Sussex, Balance Your Mind (BYM) will prioritise your well-being and mental health.
Let me guide you through your challenging life circumstances with the detailed attention, care and support you deserve.
The Balance Your Mind Philosophy
At Balance Your Mind (BYM), I focus on the individual and look at the world, their problems and how the individual views themselves from their perspective.
​
I design and provide a personalised formulation of the current difficulties, which helps enhance the awareness of how the problems are being maintained and reinforced. Alongside this, goals for therapy are discussed and included to the personalised treatment plan.
​
The personalised formulation then acts as a 'map', which can be edited and added to throughout the treatment.
​
The treatment is adapted to meet the individuals needs and proven strategies are recommended to shift behaviour and thought patterns, therefore improving feelings.
​
Throughout the treatment process, I will always 'check in' and review how things are going in therapy and allow the individual to provide feedback and make any changes if necessary.
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the main approach that I base my work around. However, I do incorporate mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy within my work.
​
I have a passion for helping individuals make the change they want and achieve their goals, which enable them to live the life they want.
​
I have worked in adult mental health for over 14 years and in a range of settings from the NHS to private organisations. I have developed extensive knowledge, skills and expertise, which enhance the therapy experience.
​
I value honesty,​​ integrity, professionalism and flexibility. I believe that therapy should work for the individual and is driven by them. I ensure excellent therapeutic practice that is ethical, safe, evidence based, of high quality and collaborative.
Whether you're struggling with Anxiety or Depression, I am here to guide you in achieving your goals.
