Make Yourself a Priority
High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Ana Maria Smantana BSc, PGDip, MSc, BABCP
Hight Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
I am psychologist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My approach to working with clients is flexible and idiosyncratic. In my clinical practice I am guided by NICE (national institute for clinical excellence) recommendations and clinical research. For the last 6 years I have worked in the NHS Talking Therapy services. My expertise is in PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Low Self- Esteem and Depression. Prior to this I worked with Addictive Disorders and Eating Disorders. When required I combine in my practice third wave CBT psychotherapies (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy).
My clinical interventions are a combination of behavioural, experiential, cognitive and value based psychology.
My therapeutic approach is flexible, calm, supportive, caring and tailored to your needs. My belief is that no matter how complex or difficult the problem is there is always a way forward.
