Herts & Minds Therapy

A very warm welcome to my site!

Hi there, I'm Stephen Anderson, an Accredited CBT Therapist, EMDR Therapist and Couples Therapist.

I appreciate that finding someone who you feel comfortable to talk to and is able to meet your therapy needs, may seem like quite a daunting task. My therapy style is one of compassion and kindness, in providing a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I see great value in the therapeutic relationship, to helping explore and address the challenges you may be facing.

I have over 15years of experience in the NHS, and more than 20years experience working with people with mental health difficulties. I continue to work in an NHS Talking Therapies service using the above approaches, as well as facilitating groups, and providing clinical supervision to other staff members in the team.

I welcome you to get in touch for a free 20 minute telephone consultation to find out more and answer any questions you may have.
