Sabrinda Norris

Description

I am a Cognitive-Behavioural Therapist (Qualifications = BSc, MSc, PGCert, PGDip CBT) which means that my focus is on correcting an individuals' unhelpful thinking patterns, their beliefs and how they behave, respond and act. I have treated hundreds of clients and helped many of them to recover from a range of anxiety disorders (PTSD, Generalised anxiety, health anxiety, phobias etc), different depressive disorders (Recurrent depression, SAD, low self-esteem) and childhood and adult trauma. I have advanced training in trauma-focused therapy on top of my CBT training.

The purpose of my treatment is to help my clients to understand themselves better, why they may feel, think or behave as they do, and to change this, in order to cope better in situations which they find challenging.

I only use therapy interventions that are based on research and proven to improve symptoms.  I am understanding, I take time to understand my client and their challenges, and I work in partnership with my clients encouraging and teaching them to make changes, improvements and understand themselves better across our course of therapy.

In terms of my NHS work, I currently lead an NHS Talking Therapies service in London. Half of my role involves improving psychological therapy for adults with chronic health conditions like chronic pain, IBS and chronic fatigue.

I have also trained as a business psychologist, and work privately in corporate wellness to support workplace wellbeing through 1:1 clinics with employees around topics such as burnout and poor work-life balance. I deliver workshops and seminars with private organisations in London as well.
