I am an accredited CBT therapist with a wealth of experience in helping both adults and young people recover from a wide range of emotional difficulties including depression and anxiety (including OCD, social anxiety, excessive worry, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, health anxiety, and so on).
CBT is the leading therapy for depression and anxiety. It uses evidence based treatment interventions to help individuals develop the knowledge and skills needed to overcome emotional difficulties. If you feel that you are stuck in a vicious cycle of feeling depressed, upset, and anxious, I can help you to notice and change problematic thinking styles and behaviour patterns so you can feel better and take control of your life.

As a person-centred therapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help individuals and couples to navigate a range of emotional and psychological challenges. These include bereavement, domestic violence, menopause issues, couples’ relationship difficulties, and trauma including birth trauma. Clients want to feel empowered so that they can heal and grow. They will do so if they are fully accepted, their dignity is respected, and they are understood. This is my approach.

Hello and Welcome, Taking the first step in finding the right therapist for you is not easy and can feel daunting at first. There is often a misunderstanding that you need to be broken or in crisis to have therapy. Let's start by busting this myth! Therapy is not about what is wrong with you, it's about exploring what happened to you. It is about working things out together and enabling you to make positive changes in your life and relationships.

Sometimes we sit with something we know isn’t right: Maybe you feel like there’s something ‘wrong’ with you. Perhaps you feel alone, cut-off or misunderstood. Maybe you’re struggling to escape a troubling past, or feel you’re the only one in your family to recognise and want to break the cycle of hurtful patterns. Our ‘way of being’ is like a woolly jumper that’s been gradually woven over the course of our life. Woven into our jumper is our most significant relationships, experiences, and the ways we’ve adapted to cope with stressors and threats. Sometimes we find holes or knots, and we know that our jumper is ready to be re-worked.

You may need a space that feels neutral and safe to talk about things that you have never talked about before; to talk to someone who is there to fully listen to you with no distractions or agenda. Many clients say they just want to be able to find their joy again and know themselves better. Sometimes life can feel a bit in limbo and a change of direction feels hard to navigate, talking about this can help break that limbo and bring about the changes you want to see for yourself. Or perhaps circumstances feel overwhelming and you need some room to consider what's going on and where you go next. No reason is too small for therapy.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors

When should I seek treatment for trauma?

Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?

Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?

It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
