I am person centred and add other modalities such as solution focused therapy, DBT, CBT, NLP and others.
I work with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, self harm, anger, bullying, self esteem, and more. If you need to find some space to talk to someone about your situation please contact me and I should be able to offer you an appointment within a few days. I provide a free, 30-minute no obligation consultation in which we can look at your main concerns. Whether therapy can help depends, in my opinion, on the relationship between us and how comfortable and safe you feel. I am also available by phone, Google meet or Teams.

Psychotherapy literally means to nurse the soul deriving its name from the ancient Greeks understanding of human nature and the psyche. Psychotherapy occurs when a therapist meets with a client in a private and confidential setting to explore any difficulties the client is having or the distress he or she may be experiencing, a general dissatisfaction with life where an explanation is not readily known, a loss of a sense of direction or purpose. It is a common misconception that only individuals who experience mental health problems require psychotherapy. In fact Psychotherapy is of great value to anyone.

I tailor sessions to what you need using CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Person Centred Therapy.
Anxiety can overwhelm you. You lie awake at night worried about the day ahead and struggle to relax and constantly overthing everything. Even your time off can be filled with dread about what's coming up. It's not just in your head - heart pounding, shakiness and a sinking feeling in your stomach can make you feel really unwell. Sometimes family and friends get impatient telling you to just do it but you just can't and then you end up feeling worse because nobody understands how hard it is.

The therapy is goal- focused, evidence-based, and involves making changes with my support to overcome your difficulties. It can be extremely difficult to know what your goals are when highly anxious or depressed, so I can help you to work out what you are aiming to change. I can help you if aged 16 or above.

Though I primarily practice person-centred counselling, I also integrate approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA) when needed.
From childhood, we unconsciously create belief systems to navigate the world. These beliefs, while once necessary, often become chains in adulthood, binding us to outdated ways of thinking and behaving. Most of the time, we don’t even realise it. You might feel like something is off & have a gnawing sense that things just aren’t as they should be. You know you want change, yet the path forward isn’t clear. Together, we can shine a light on the roots of your discomfort. You’ll begin to see the origins of your thoughts & behaviours, untangling the knots that have tightened over time. We’ll confront the beliefs that no longer serve you

I have been in practice for over 16years and have mainly work with Adults having medium to severe mental health difficulties, from anxiety disorders that includes (complex) trauma to persistent depression and mood disorders. One of the main impacts of their difficulties can be disengagement from life as a consequence of entrenched behavioural patterns that keep them stuck and can inadvertently reinforce their problems.

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.
