Beth Fissenden-Lowe

Beth is a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). She holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Swansea University, a post graduate certificate and a post graduate diploma in Evidence-Based Psychological Treatments from Reading University. She has worked in mental health services for the NHS and the private healthcare sector for 10 years, treating patients with symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders, such as panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, health anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, specific phobias, low self-esteem and social anxiety.

Beth understands that seeking professional help for mental health difficulties can be extremely daunting and talking to someone about these is difficult. Beth makes sure all her patients feel comfortable and able to be open and honest by using an empathetic and non-judgemental approach to therapy sessions.

Beth understands that it is really important to feel heard and understood by your therapist.  She prides herself in working collaboratively as a patient-therapist team to explore their difficulties and build upon patient’s strengths and resilience, to bring about positive change to the patients’ lives. She hopes that patients will come away from therapy sessions feeling confident to implement the techniques learnt and continue to build upon the progress they have made so far, enabling them to manage and work through life’s many twists and turns.

She has completed additional training at Exeter University allowing her to treat patients who have long term health conditions and medically unexplained symptoms and illnesses.
