Meet The Therapist
ANDREW DYKE
Andrew has spent over ten years working in the mental health field, in both the NHS and a private setting. From 2009-2015 Andrew worked Full-time as Cognitive Behavioural therapist within the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service, working mainly with people referred by their local GP. However in 2015 Andrew was made redundant from the NHS and so he started to built up his private practice.
He has also worked within a Crisis and Home Treatment Team, a low secure rehabilitation hospital, a service undertaking assessments with parents undergoing care proceedings, and the condition management programme. It was when working in the Condition Management Programme (CMP) with people with long term health conditions that Andrew discovered how effective Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) could be in giving people the tools and techniques needed to manage how they feel and make the changes they desired. Andrew was also involved in research and evaluation of the CMP service and was involved in writing journal articles and conference presentations. (Please see below)
Prior to working in mental health Andrew graduated in 2001 with a degree in Sociology and Theology at the University of Gloucestershire. As part of his degree he undertook a TEFL qualification enabling to teach English abroad. He then went to work in China for 3 years teaching English. Andrew really enjoyed his time in China working, experiencing a different culture and learning Chinese. However after 3 years he decided he would like a different challenge and that he would like to work in mental health. After coming back to the UK in 2004 he started studying Psychology and started working in Mental Health. Over the next 5 years as well as working full time he studied for a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychology at Coventry University, An MSc in Health Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University and a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural therapy at the University of Derby.
Continuing his development Andrew has trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) which he has enjoyed and believes it has really benefited all his work particularly when working with trauma.
He enjoys working with anxiety and with depression and seeing the benefits that psychotherapy can bring to someone's life.
Andrew is a fully accredited practitioner and can be found on the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) http://www.babcp.com/Default.aspx. He is dedicated to continuous development through supervision and further training.
Andrew is located 10 minutes away from the M1 in Wombwell near Barnsley.
