Sharon’s main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) but her practice is informed by other approaches as well, allowing her to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. Sharon possesses a warm and friendly outlook, creating trusting and strong therapeutic relationships.
Eriola Mitsi
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist
Eriola is a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over five years of experience within the NHS. Eriola specialises in CBT, which is an evidence-based therapy for treating depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and low self-esteem, all of which Eriola has extensive experience in working with.
Eriola’s goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your difficulties. Together, you will work on addressing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours to help develop your own coping mechanisms and skills, all within the context of a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Eriola also offers therapy in Greek and Albanian.
Bobby Dhillon
Attachment based psychodynamic psychotherapist
Bobby is an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist in training at the Bowlby Centre, and a member of the UKCP.
You might be looking to start psychotherapy to address something specific or you may feel an important need to understand yourself better in a broader sense. Either way, Bobby works to reach the heart of what may be going on. His aim is for the effect of psychotherapy to endure in the long term.
People have come to Bobby with a wide variety of things to work on, including anxiety, depression, childhood matters, relationship difficulties, work troubles, grief, repetitive behaviours, addictions, eating disorders and dissociation. Bobby is always struck by how distress connects to everyday life as well as deeper questions of what feels right and true.
