LISA GRIFFITHS

I am a highly experienced CBT and Interpersonal Psychotherapist, who is fully accredited by both the BABCP and IPT UK.  I am based in Chinnor and serve South Oxon and surrounding areas, as well as further a field with the expansion of digital therapy.

 

I have over 17 years of mental health experience and have worked in the NHS for over 10 years.  Initially, in 2007 I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Person Centred and Existential Counselling and worked with adolescents and survivors of sexual abuse.  After a few years I undertook further studies with The University of Reading and completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Evidence Based Interventions.   Following on from this, in 2018 I completed a MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Buckinghamshire New University, and have since been practicing as a CBT Therapist within the NHS.

 

As a CBT Therapist I help people experiencing common mental health difficulties such as depression, generalised anxiety (GAD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Social Phobia, Health Anxiety, Panic, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as well as helping people with low self esteem and perfectionism.  For a full list of difficulties I can help you with please click here.

​

More recently, in 2021 I undertook training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy with The Anna Freud Centre, and I am an accredited Interpersonal Psychotherapist.  With Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) I help people that are experiencing depression due to life events/changes or difficulties in relationships, which often leads to recurrent depression.  

​

Alongside my clinical work, I have also developed supervision and management skills which are utilised within my role in the NHS.  In order to keep my knowledge and clinical practice up to date, I attend regular supervision and training, which ensures I continue to offer an exceptional quality of therapy to my clients, whilst maintaining my accreditation with the BABCP and IPT UK.
