Feedback about Stefan

“Stefan is a wonderful therapist who actively listens and responds to your issues. He makes clear the role of his therapy, how it works, and always asks what exactly the goal of the therapy is. I have found his type of therapy very useful in processing difficult memories, and despite the nature of what is discussed, Stefan creates a calm, relaxing and non-judgmental environment.” Anonymous

“Every single session with Stefan was productive. I felt I made very quick progress, and, am so pleased that I decided to give it a go. Stefan explained about the EMDR process as we went through the phases, which helped to feel like we were moving forwards. My confidence and positivity has returned in leaps and bounds since doing the sessions.” CWJ (Therapist - Stefan Bell)

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based & well researched talking therapy. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for many mental health problems.

It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for many other mental and physical health problems.

CBT focuses upon how your thoughts and behaviours impact upon your emotions and physical symptoms.

CBT is collaborative treatment and typically involves doing homework tasks between appointments.

It aims to teach you to become your own therapist, teaching you tools so you can keep using the strategies and techniques you have learned after you have finished therapy.

What is EMDR?

EMDR Stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing.

When a person experiences psychological trauma or highly stressful events, they are not always able to process the relevant information (i.e. thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations). As a result, they can end up getting “stuck” inside of them and can resurface later on, as if the person was still reliving the traumatic or stressful event.

EMDR aims to ‘process’ negative experiences or events which can subsequently improve emotional well-being and help to significantly reduce, but more often eliminate distressing symptoms and bodily sensations associated with the trauma.

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also acknowledged EMDR as being an effective treatment approach to psychological trauma and trauma-related disorders.
