Hello -

my name is Des Shortt and I qualified with a Master's degree in 2010 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Since then I have mostly worked with a variety of NHS patients for a number of NHS Trusts in England.

As part of my professional development, I have received weekly supervision from senior therapists to ensure the best outcomes for clients. I also attend conferences and workshops to further enhance my skills.

Some of the problems that clients present with include: Generalised Anxiety; panic attacks; OCD; social anxiety; PTSD; low self-esteem; and low mood/depression.

I understand that a person may have struggled for some years with their anxiety and low mood. They may have tried self-help books and tried to live with their problems. I work with the client to assess what the issues are, and to sort out unhelpful behaviours and thinking styles from helpful ones.

If you're interested in working with me or have any questions about how CBT can help you, please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Best regards,

Desi Shortt, CBT therapist.
