Veronica Cross

A Registered Mental Health Nurse since qualifying in 1986, Veronica practised in the NHS for many years — spending 35 years in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, assessing and supporting young people, participating in a Family Therapy team and offering group therapy and CBT, latterly as a Clinical Team Manager — before retiring from the NHS in 2019. Her practice is informed by psychodynamic, systemic and group-analytic approaches, and she regards a strong therapeutic relationship as key to effective CBT. Her qualifications include a Postgraduate Diploma in Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies (CBT) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision of Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies (CBT), alongside further training in group analysis, family therapy, cognitive remediation therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
