Welcome to September! I've just published my latest blog where I'm looking at how CBT can help us to figure out 'how the world really works' and free us from negative thinking patterns and habits.
I love this image! It's not uncommon to struggle with uncertainty esp. if you are a chronic worrier. This is just one of the areas of CBT which I specialise in. If you're interested in taking that journey with me then please get in touch: hello@forresttalkingtherapies.co.uk.
Uncertainty can be scary, but if you want to create a life you love, being brave enough to face the unknown is often required! 🖌️

I really enjoyed this podcast from Canopy and Stars with Tj Power All the themes I love about our wellbeing and connection with nature. I've since started charging my phone outside of my bedroom and it's made a huge difference to my night/morning routine!
Our next walk for season five of A Life More Wild takes you out for an enlightening stroll with neuroscientist and found of Dose Lab, TJ Power, to hear about how he turned his life and his brain around.

Forrest Talking Therapies started in December 2015 when a colleague asked me to supervise his private work. From here I worked with the Womens Organisation who helped me to set up my own business providing therapy and supervision on a private basis.
Prior to Forrest Talking Therapies I had many years experience of providing therapy in the NHS and charity sector. I was looking for more flexibility and variety in my working life and was excited about the challenges of working for myself.
I’ve been lucky to work with a number of local business’ who have helped me with essentials such as room hire, leaflet printing, referrals and website design.
I work with national companies and receive referrals from organisations such as BUPA and Nuffield Health. I have also previously worked with IESO Digital Health providing therapy online.
I started my blog - Forrest Rambles - in April 2017 with the aim of demystifying cognitive behavioural therapy and the conditions it can help with. You can read this on my website (https://forresttalkingtherapies.co.uk/forrest-rambles/) and social media feeds on the 1st of every month.
In 2016 I worked with colleagues to set up the Liverpool Branch of the BABCP which provides networking and training opportunities for CBT Therapists. I was the Secretary of the Branch until May 2019.
In 2020 Forrest Talking Therapies moved online which means that you can access treatment from anywhere in the UK!
As well as Forrest Talking Therapies I am also busy working part time for the NHS and University of Chester.
