Nicole Bedari

Professional Profile

My name is Nicole and I am a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Psychotherapist working with Think CBT in Fulham, London, SW6. I also provide CBT online via Skype and video link in English,French & Spanish.

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 10 years’ experience of helping people with a range of psychological problems.

I am experienced in working with people who present with mental health problems, ranging from mild to moderate Anxiety and Depression, and early symptoms of Psychosis. For example, I co-ordinate and co-facilitate CBT psycho-educational and self-confidence groups. Both groups are highly interactive with a mixture of group discussions and role play, as well as sufficient supervision post-session. I find this to be very useful as a space to discuss and reflect on ways in which to improve, learning points and challenges.

I have developed my knowledge of trust protocols surrounding safeguarding and risk as well as those more specifically pertinent to the various services within which I have worked. My practice and experience to date demonstrates strict adherence to the BPS code of ethics and the NICE guidelines.

Working closely within a multidisciplinary team of Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Psychoanalysts, Cognitive Behavioural Therapists and Psychological Therapy and Well-being practitioners has provided me with a sound understanding of the therapeutic differences of these approaches and which types are best used for treatment.

I have learnt to use this resource as an aid in managing the step care system correctly and to make effective use of the related employment services for certain clients. Working so closely with the team has provided me with a better understanding of their competencies and therefore more accurate step ups or downs to the appropriate clinician.
