I offer a range of talking therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Hello I am wondering if you are finding life a bit tough right now. Maybe you are feeling anxious and worried about the future. People I work with often feel that life is getting on top of them, they are not living the life they want - they have lost confidence, sometimes feeling afraid, frustrated, lonely - experiencing a range of emotions that feel difficult to understand and work through. I can help you deal with those big and small ups and downs in life. Feelings of panic, anxiety and stress Perhaps a relationship issue is causing you some concern. Together we can find ways to help you deal with these feelings and emotions

I am a person-centred counsellor, taking an integrative approach, pulling in elements of other therapeutic models, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), and attachment theory, depending on the needs of each individual client.
We all have times when we struggle with life, we may have issues with anxiety, depression, behaviours we are uncomfortable with, habits we want to break, discord in relationships or breakdowns in communication. However life impacts you, whether you recognise that something isn't right, feel out of sorts or just feel general dissatisfaction with your life, you may benefit from support to explore what troubles you and identify the changes you need to make. Together we can identify your needs, establish some goals and I can help you take a positive step towards the future you wish for yourself.

Finding the right counsellor for you can provide a safe way to explore, grow and restore. Counselling works not by ‘fixing’ you or telling you what to do, but by helping you to accept and understand yourself, while supporting you in finding your own truths. It facilitates any growth that you choose to undertake. As a client, you decide how your session will proceed, working at your own pace and in your own way.

Are you stuck, bewildered, unable to work out what is happening? Do you find that confiding with friends and family isn't necessarily that helpful? It may be time to explore with someone with a different approach what can change. Do you want to move out of a current pattern of thinking or behaving? I work with a solution focus in some sessions when the goal is to move an obstacle that is often our thinking and responding. I can offer an empathic and safe environment to work through life changes and transitions such as loss and grief, divorce or betrayal. I work especially well with shame based thoughts and behaviours.

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.
