Breakdown of above services offered

Initial enquiry and consultation

Everyone should be able to enquire about a service or product before they make any big decisions - so this is exactly why I offer a free consultation about any of the above services. 

It's an opportunity for you to learn more about my practice, experience, and the level of support I can offer to you. It's also a chance for me to learn a little more about your unique circumstances and aims, so that we can learn and decide together whether we'll be good fit.

Whether you're a potential client or a therapist looking for supervision or mentorship, I'd encourage you to schedule consultations with a few different providers so you can feel confident you've found the best support for you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

This is the main therapy I am professionally trained and experienced in, at the core of all therapeutic support offered. Take a look at our 'about' section to learn more about this type of therapy itself.

Typically, CBT is delivered on a weekly or fortnight basis because research highly suggests that consistency is a key indicator or therapeutic progress. It's also great to meet regularly so that we can together keep 'up to date' on your life events, experiences and review your progress. 

Whilst CBT offered by the NHS usually places a timescale and/or limit on the number of CBT sessions available to clients in a period of time, Unearth Psychotherapy believes therapy duration should be discussed on an individual basis and decided collaboratively between the therapist and the client. This means that once your therapy journey begins, we don't have to be too strict about the number of appointments available to you from the outset. Whilst the goal will always be to work towards your independence away from therapy and eventually say our goodbyes, I believe that YOU should ultimately decide when those goodbyes happen.

When you pay for a therapy session, you're not just paying for those specific 50 minutes of support. You're also investing in your therapists' knowledge and experience, time spent preparing specifically for your appointments, preparing resources/additional tools and information to share with you, completing behind-the-scene clinical work, and all the administrative 'stuff' that ensures your therapy is safe, effective and supportive 🌿

Academic and therapist-specific mentoring

If you're looking for tailored support to aid your professional development, I offer specialist mentoring** for Trainee High-Intensity Therapists (HITs) and qualified practitioners. Navigating your therapy training year and transitioning into a newly-qualified role can be incredibly demanding (trust me, I know!), so we can work together to build your confidence and implement all your new knowledge and experience effectively into your clinical work.

I've got 7+ years of NHS IAPT/NHS Talking Therapies experience using a mixture of both cognitive and behavioural formulations and frameworks, as well as supervising both 'Step 2' and 'Step 3' therapists. Take a look at the 'about' section to learn more about my background and experience!

My academic and mentoring support offered is completely flexible in duration and frequency, meaning we can meet just once, weekly, every few months, or at specific parts of your professional journey (think KSA submission time, interview prep, caseload adjustments, accreditation audits etc)

Mentoring can cover many different areas, including (but not limited to) the following:

• Case report and essay writing guidance

• CTS-R framework preparation and support

• Understanding of specific formulation(s)

• Techniques to prepare for exams/presentations during the HIT course

• Specific protocol application e.g. OCD, health anxiety, PTSD

• KSA preparation and submission guidance

• BABCP first accreditation and accreditation support

• Increasing caseloads and clinical diary management

• Tips for prioritising therapist wellbeing

** Mentoring is not designed to substitute or replace clinical supervision.

BABCP Accredited Supervision

As a fully qualified, experienced and accredited practitioner, I'm able to offer supervision to fellow CBT therapists in private practice. My approach is calm, collaborative and curious. Supervision shouldn't be a stressful experience and I'm here to use my clinical experience to help you build on your own.

I take a flexible approach to supervision - meaning we can meet as often as you like, for a suitable duration depending on your current caseload and capacity. I'm happy to deliver supervision via telephone or video call, whichever fits your circumstances best.
