I am also trained in CBT and an Accredited EMDR Therapist.
During these difficult times, when we are isolated within ourselves, it is natural to feel stressed, anxious and/or depressed or low in mood. Now more than ever it is important for us to look after our mental health, so that we can all emerge from this period with more self-awareness, and with a better level of psychological balance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it is important to recognise your struggle and give it credence. Health anxiety, depression and insomnia may be writhe, but I am here to provide a treatment, tools and strategies that have a proven track record of recovery.

My therapeutic approach follows the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy model which aims to understand the present difficulties an individual may be experiencing, and build a collaborative conceptualisation of these difficulties, in order to make sense of beliefs and behaviours that may have developed over the years and may be perpetuating distress in the present.
When you think of starting therapy, you might be at a pivotal stage in your life where you are repeatedly facing a wall that you want to break through. Understanding what might be going on for you is the first step before you begin.

I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and discovery. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Psychologist and researcher in the NHS and academia, where I study the influence of trauma in childhood on adult mental health. I have training in different therapy models, and offer integrative therapy to adults, adolescents and children/parents of younger children. I am influenced by psychodynamic models of thinking, but also draw from systemic family therapy and CBT (in particular “third wave”, which connects how we think to how we feel and our relationship to our inner experiences).

I'm an experienced EMDR Therapist, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist - level 7 (MSc) in CBT, Person Centred and Attachment Theory( Psychodynamic).
My approach to therapy is friendly, respectful & totally non-judgemental. Primarily I use an Integrative Therapy based on TTM ( Transtheoretical Model of Change) based (between others) on your goals, readiness to change and the fact that ‘no one type of therapy fits all’. Psychoeducation about your symptoms, coping strategies (CBT and Mindfulness') will improve your everyday life and if you feel ready to work on the 'the roots' of the current difficulties- EMDR, Counselling and Attachment Theory would be something to explore. I adjust therapy to my clients and not the other way around.

Being human, it is only natural we are continuously faced with life's numerous challenges.

Ironically, it is this urge to control such painful internal experiences, that often creates and in fact exacerbates our struggles!

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.
