I specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) and person-centred therapy.
In my private practice, I see clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. They need a safe, supportive space to explore their emotions and gain clarity. Their goal is to find peace, build resilience, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. They want to feel understood, validated, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. As a counsellor, my role is to guide them through this journey, helping them achieve emotional well-being and a renewed sense of self.

My specialist area is helping people to improve their quality of life when challenged by physical illness. For example, helping people to problem-solve and prioritise meaningful and valued activities that have been interrupted by symptoms such as pain, fatigue, reduced mobility, changed appearance or social stigma. Therapy goals may include reducing feelings of shame and hopelessness, communicating assertively with others, adapting to new circumstances, finding new life goals, and processing trauma. I have particular experience in helping people with chronic pain and people with HIV. I also work with common mental health problems.

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.
