Angela Ford

My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration, where I value listening deeply whilst taking an active role to provide feedback and validation to build the shared understanding that can open the way for change.

I have specialised for over fifteen years in working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, work stress and burnout, low self-confidence, trauma and difficulties in relationships and family life.

We will begin by exploring your current concerns and clarifying what has brought you to therapy, plus your hopes for the future and the changes you wish to see. In seeking to understand your present difficulties we may explore past experiences to make sense of how they have shaped you, and I will share helpful resources along the way to support your progress. Many clients begin to notice a gradual reduction in symptoms within the first few weeks, with progress continuing as therapy unfolds. Together, we will build a space where you feel heard, understood and empowered to work towards your goals and improved wellbeing.

Having trained to Doctorate-level I am qualified to tailor therapy to best fit your needs, with additional specialist expertise in CBT, DBT and EMDR. I also often draw upon skills from CFT and ACT to support recovery.

Originally from Athens. I moved to the UK in 1999 to pursue my studies in psychology. My career began within the NHS where I gained invaluable clinical experience for more than a decade plus an academic role as visiting lecturer teaching CBT at doctorate level. I’m registered with the HCPC and hold BABCP Accreditation as a CBT therapist, recognised as the gold standard in the field.
