Rifaat Shaheen Maryoud

I have worked for the NHS as a High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 20 years experience in mental health. I have also worked with digital mental health services for over 8 years., privately. 

As a CBT Therapist, I am assessing and treating a wide range of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), specific phobias, health anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem issues, work related stress, depression, body dysmorphic disorder and complicated grief. As well as psychological issues that occur as a result of physical health such as chronic pain, chronic fatigue, heart conditions, IBS etc for which I have had extra training. 

I have also experience of working in a culturally responsive way, adapting to cultural needs and race/ racism related issues approaching these in a sensitive but open conversation. I have a sensitive and open personal style and work well with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age ranges.

I look forward to meeting you wjen we begin therapy where we can address your goals for treatment, working collaboratively to form a therapeutic alliance dedicated to your personal growth, maximising your potential and achieving your therapeutic goals.

I can offer therapy over the phone or via Zoom a few evenings a week. Face to face can only be offered on Friday mornings at the moment.

I abide by the policies and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity to work as a therapist in the UK.
