As a CBT and TA trained therapist, I am accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and am a member of both the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and the United Kingdom Association of Transactional Analysts (UKATA), abiding by their codes of conduct, ethics and professional practice.
With my brother diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia nearly 30 years ago, I have personal experience of the family sacrifices and struggles related to the pain and stigma of mental illness. Having since, committing my life to the improvement of people’s emotional fitness and mental resilience, with support from organisations such as SANE and MIND, my own journey has allowed me to discover the true benefits of therapy first-hand. Personal therapy is proving invaluable for people to manage certain difficult or crisis situations in their lives and so transform their problems into major opportunities for personal growth.

Navigating overwhelming feelings alone can be daunting. Starting on the path of seeking therapeutic support is a significant step. Within counselling and psychotherapy, there are no ‘one size fits all’ approaches. I am trained in a number of therapies which means that I offer a wide menu of therapeutic techniques, tailoring therapy to your specific needs and preferences. Our work can be structured and focused, or exploratory and discovery based, depending on your goals. I blend cognitive behavioural therapy with person centred practice and can use specific therapy models if needed.

I'm qualified in person centred, relational and trauma-focused CBT approaches used in therapy.
If you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or having stress in your relationships, daily life can seem very hard. Emotional distress can leave you feeling lonely or even isolated. Perhaps you find yourself putting on a pretence that everything is okay, saying yes when really you want to say no. You might be unclear about what is troubling you. As an experienced counsellor, I provide affordable therapy in a confidential, safe environment, helping you make sense of how you’re feeling. Counselling can also give you practical ways of coping; I will work at your pace during sessions so that you feel truly heard and accepted, not judged.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
