About the Therapist
Elisabeth Thompson
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist · PGDip CBT · PGCE · BSc (Hons)
Elisabeth's Background
Elisabeth is an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies. She has worked in mental health and psychology for more than twenty years in a range of settings, including the NHS. Over time she has worked extensively with people experiencing more common difficulties with anxiety and depression.
Throughout her career she has worked across the age ranges but more predominantly with children and young people who have experienced major life events and difficulties.
Elisabeth is a Psychology lecturer, keeping abreast of the most up to date research. She is a regular presenter at a number of mental health charities.
Working With Children and Young People
Elisabeth specialises in supporting children and young people to express their feelings and fears so they can learn to ask for help and develop tools to help themselves. It is hard to see your child struggle, whether they are experiencing problems at school, college or university, slamming doors at home or withdrawing from others. For parents like yourself, this can be a difficult experience. As a professional, Elisabeth provides a safe space for your child to express their difficulties, to recognise their own feelings and thoughts and to learn healthy new ways to manage them.
ADHD and Autism
Elisabeth has experience in working with children and young people who are on the autistic spectrum or have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and have anxiety or depression. She works with your child to explore their feelings in their own way and at their own pace so they feel empowered.
Working With Adults
As we move through life, we often face many life events and transitions. As we reach our thirties, there are expectations and goals to fulfil, from buying a house to career or family issues. These are hard enough to deal with, but if you have anxiety and/ or depression, it can make things especially tough. I work with people in their 20's and 30's who have anxiety and depression to help them manage this transitional period and make some new and exciting changes.
