About Elaine Davies

 

I am a Senior BACP Accredited qualified counsellor and supervisor, and a BABCP accredited Practitioner, Supervisor and Trainer. I have worked for the NHS for 30 years and for 15 years I have also been working as as a Cognitive Behavioural Counsellor.

I qualified as a counsellor in 1998 at the University of Wales, Newport, going on to study to Masters level in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT is my main way of working although I rely on Carl Rogers "Core Conditions" to develop a good working relationship with my clients. I don't think a "one size fits all" approach is a useful strategy, when it comes to working with people. I believe that different people need different types of therapy depending on what is troubling them and what changes they want to make in their lives.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers a very effective approach to issues involving levels of anxiety. This might might manifest itself as the symptoms resulting from a traumatic experience (a car accident, rape, burglary the loss of a limb, for example) but it can also be part of OCD (Obsessional Compulsive Disorder). CBT has also proven to be very helpful for people experiencing depression - in fact in the early days of CBT's history that was its primary focus.
