Angela Shrimpton

I work Monday - Thursday.

I offer day time and evening sessions

I am trained in the psycho-dynamic approach, which pays attention to past experiences that may continue to have a negative influence on the present. My aim would be to help my client develop understanding and insight into such patterns to facilitate a change to more helpful approaches in their life and relationships.

  I work medium to long-term with the above approach but also, in the early stages of the therapy, we may focus more on the here-and-now to help with more tangible, immediate problems which might be causing acute distress.

 I have also undergone some training  in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) which is a recommended approach (NICE Guidelines) for people who have experienced single or multiple traumas leading to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Often past trauma, or a series of traumas, can cause someone to become very stuck in old patterns of behaviour such as panic attacks, phobias,  inappropriate anger responses, avoidance, generalised anxiety.

 I believe that it is very important to be guided by the needs and preferences of each individual client when thinking about how to move forward. To this end the process is always started by doing a thorough assessment of the presenting problems. 

My sessions last one hour and I offer both day time and evening sessions.
