Thanks for visiting Focus & Function. Nichole Strachan is a Health and Care Professions Council Accredited Specialist Mental Health Occupational Therapist with over 17 years of experience working within the NHS offering talking therapy and emotional support within Psychological and Mental Health Services. My work has ranged from supporting young adults to transition to and manage the responsibilities of adulthood to thinking about roles and relationships across the life span with older adults. Examples of conditions I have treated range from Anxiety and Depression which impact on motivation, confidence, self-esteem and assertiveness to complex emotional needs such as emotional dysregulation, intense anger, impulsivity, self-harm and suicidal behaviour. With my dual training in Psychological approaches and Occupational Therapy, I am able to use our therapeutic relationship to support focus, introspection and identification of beliefs, thoughts and behaviours which may impact on your day to day life. Together we can identify skills that you may find helpful to use across different contexts to improve your functioning and quality of life. My integrative approach is supported by my experience in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Mentalisation Based Treatment therapeutic approaches. My credentials: BSc Psychology with Criminology PG Dip Mental Health Practice (including CBT module) PG Dip Occupational Therapy, (HCPC) Registered Occupational Therapist Certificate in Mentalisation Based Treatment PG Dip in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (awaiting final results) Also brief training of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
