I use psychodynamic approaches to explore how the past affects current relationships, and cognitive strategies to develop new ways of thinking and responding to situations.
If you are struggling to manage changes in your life, or feel stuck and want things to change, counselling can open up the path forward. You will develop coping strategies as well as gaining greater awareness and understanding of the underlying reasons for how you are feeling and responding to people and situations. I work with issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, issues at college and work, stress and burnout, grief, anger, and neurodiversity. I am passionate about inclusion and I am neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming in my practice. I offer weekly, fortnightly and term-time only appointments.

I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) and EMDR.
I commonly work with clients with symptoms of PTSD and/or Eating Disorders. I also work with people with other anxiety disorders and depression. People accessing my support are often looking to come to terms with traumatic events, or may be looking to overcome issues they face with eating such as restricted eating, fear of weight gain or over eating. It may also be that clients are looking for more general stress management, worry management or to address a specific phobia. Overall, however, people are often accessing therapy to achieve a particular set of goals so that they can function better and be happier in themselves.

Although CBT is a structured therapy, support offered is tailored to reflect every personal circumstance and treat more complex presentations.
Life can be very fast paced, hectic and often we are not taught how to cope with any stresses that may arise. Over my time working in mental health, I have worked within many specialist services including outpatient services, addiction therapy programmes, general psychiatry in IAPT services and on psychiatric wards. This vast amount of experience over 10 years, has enabled me to develop a passion to help others feel empowered , to overcome lifes challenges and to learn how to take better care of themselves in the process.

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.
