Yvonne Waft
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in Wakefield

I have been a Clinical Psychologist since 2007. Before that I worked in mental health for many years, whilst also playing wheelchair basketball, up to international/Paralympic level. Since leaving the NHS in 2016, I have been full time in private practice. I run my practice online from my home address in the HD8 postcode area. I have a garden office and by prior arrangement, if convenient, I can see people there.

Background & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Qualifications

I am fully qualified as a Clinical Psychologist and have undertaken additional trainings in EMDR, CAT and ACT. I am an accredited EMDR Consultant.

My Specialisms

I specialise in working with adults. I work with most mental health presentations, but have a special interest in trauma in all its many forms.
I offer clinical supervision to mental health professionals, especially in EMDR.

Approach to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & How I Work

I take a trauma focused approach to understanding my clients' difficulties, looking at what may underlie the current problem. At the same time I look at what behaviours and thinking patterns are maintaining the current problem. I encourage my clients to use self-help materials and also guide them through activities and therapeutic interventions aimed at resolving past trauma and learning new ways of managing.

Additional Rate Information

My rates reflect my many years in the profession, and my years of additional training undertaken. I am keen to stay on top of the latest developments in the field and this requires regular attendance at trainings and conferences, which means time out of work, travel and accommodation. I can be flexible about how often clients attend to spread the cost out as long as this is agreed from the start. I do also have a 24 hour cancellation policy, so it is always advisable to cancel in good time if at all possible.
