Patsy Edmonds

Professional Profile

My name is Patsy and I am a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working with Think CBT from my consulting room in Guildford, Surrey (GU4).

I work with adults 18 years+ and my particular area of expertise lies in working with people to help them understand their emotions and the way they react. I will support and empower you to help you identify what is helpful to ultimately reach your goals.

My training allows me to tailor our work together to suit your personal needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) is suitable for individuals who are only seeking practical strategies that can be used in everyday life situations after the treatment has ended. CBT helps us understand how our thoughts, feelings, what we do and how our body feels, influences how we perceive our situations.

Therapy develops new thinking styles and behaviours to address specific problems more effectively. It also provides the support needed to change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better. This approach tends to focus predominantly on relieving and reducing the symptoms of the problem.

CBT and ACT have a sound evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems. This is an approach that is offered by the NHS and is recommended by the NICE guidelines.
