A. J. Hatherell Psychotherapy and Counselling
Homepage
Allene Hatherell is a highly experienced Accred. CBT, ADHD & EMDR Psychotherapist.
I have a wealth of experience as an Integrative Cognitive behavioral Therapist (CBT) and work integrativly as I hold other therapeutic qualifications. I work with a wide range of mental health disorders but have a particular interest, expertise and knowledge in those who experience difficulties due to their neuro-divergency. I believe my experience as a retired general nurse and midwife gives depth to my practice. I have worked extensively in areas of trauma and in addressing extremely sensitive issues such as addictions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, rape and sexual abuse, and in living with personality disorders. I am a friendly and appropriately humorous therapist, which leads to strong productive therapeutic bonds with my clients. This contributes in creating a safe, trusting often fun and encouraging environment for change and optimism. I recognise that 'one size' does not necessarily 'fit all'. All clients are unique individuals and the therapy applied in my sessions is tailor- made to suit what brings clients to sessions in the first place and we work collaboratively together.
