Sara Belk

Professional Profile

My name is Sara and I am a CBT and EMDR therapist, working with Think CBT online.

I have over 10 years’ experience within the NHS and private practice. I specialise in working with people who are struggling with anxiety disorders, such as panic, worry, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety and OCD. I also support people experiencing pre- and post-natal depression and anxiety, and insomnia.

My approach to therapy is to fully understand together the problems that a person is presenting with, and develop a plan with them to tackle the difficulties and help them make positive changes. This may be through using either CBT or EMDR, or a blend or both as appropriate. Therapy might also involve drawing on techniques from other CBT-derived approaches, such as Compassion Focused Therapy, mindfulness and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.

The overall aim of therapy is to guide and support the person to become their own therapist – understanding what keeps their problem going, how to spot it and put strategies into place that will break them out of the vicious cycle.
