Our Team | BABCP Accredited Therapists

CEO, Founder & Clinical Lead | CBT/EMDR TherapistTiina Sormus

SENIOR CLINICAL SPECIALIST EMDR PRACTITIONER (CHILDREN/ADULTS)

BABCP ACCREDITED CBT THERAPIST/COGNITIVE COACH

Over 20 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice. I offer structured, evidence-based, personalised care, beginning with a thorough assessment and a clear plan forward. I support with all stress and anxiety-related difficulties, confidence and identity challenges, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, trauma (including complex PTSD), and attachment issues.

Living with dyslexia and ADHD myself, I understand both professionally and personally how neurodivergent differences can affect daily life; feeling overwhelmed despite being capable, struggling to finish tasks, shifting between hyperfocus and distraction, acting impulsively, feeling sensitive to criticism, doubting yourself despite achievements, or managing ongoing stress and time pressures. I now also provide psychological support around cancer diagnosis and treatment, for individuals as well as partners and family members, informed by both clinical and lived experience.

Originally trained as an artist at Chelsea School of Art, he later transitioned to nursing and played a pivotal role in shaping national forensic services through the development of impactful policies. Subsequently, Adrian focused on pioneering novel approaches to assist clients in navigating life outside inpatient services. His endeavours extended to New Zealand, where he collaborated on a project with indigenous Maori before returning to the UK to pursue a BSc and undergo specialised training in Cognitive Psychotherapy.

Under the mentorship of Dr. Christine Padesky in California, Adrian honed his skills and became a co-author of the esteemed “Assessment and Formulation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy” (1st and 2nd editions), a seminal text in CBT therapist training.
