Sarah Hall

I have been a psychological therapist providing cognitive behavioural interventions for over 10 years working with adults aged 16 and over who have had mental health difficulty. My experience has been predominantly in the NHS working in the Bradford IAPT service but in more recent years I have focused on developing independent practice taking private, legal and occupational referrals.

I have experience treating many difficulties from depression and low self-esteem to post traumatic stress and obsessive compulsive disorder and panic and generalised anxiety. My practice encompasses a compassion focused approach and incorporates acceptance and mindfulness based interventions.

As a fully accredited member of the BABCP I also have experience providing clinical supervision, training and consultation.
