Connie Poon

Professional Profile

My name is Connie and I am a fully qualified and BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, working with Think CBT in London.

I have over 16 years' experience in the treatment of a wide range of complex psychological, behavioural and emotional problems and I have worked in both in-patients and out-patients in secondary mental health as a senior Occupational Therapist prior to becoming an accredited CBT Therapist.

I was a committee member of the BABCP Compassion Interest Group (SIG). I also provide Clinical Supervision to CBT trainees.  I have been invited to international companies to give presentations on CBT in my private work.

My primary interests are in the treatment of Depression and Anxiety, such as Panic Attacks, Generalised Anxiety / Excessive Worry, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Health Anxiety, Specific Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Low Self-Esteem, Trichotillomania and Work Stress.

I also offer CBT treatment in conjunction with the Compassion Focus Theory (CFT) when required, which has suggested to be helpful for clients that tend to be self-critical.

I also offer CBT treatment in conjunction with the Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT) for people who suffer from Depression and Anxiety in relation to their long term physical health conditions, such as heart problems, Diabetes, IBS, etc.

I work with people who are 18 and above. My approach to therapy is primarily CBT. I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
