Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read what it is that I may have to offer you. As you will likely know, we tend to seek out therapy at those times in our life when we are experiencing some form of distress. What that distress may look like will vary between individuals, and how people may name or label that distress will also vary considerably. What I can offer is first and foremost the opportunity to be with another human being during this time of distress. During this time, together we will seek to better understand your current difficulties - your fears and hopes, your disappointments and pain, your losses and hurts.

The thought of attending a stranger for any type of talking therapy is daunting for most. This difficulty is magnified when the person’s mood has deteriorated, their anxiety levels have increased and their self-esteem has taken a battering. Thus the therapeutic relationship is essential for optimum treatment and recovery. As a BABCP Accredited CBT therapist, my role is to help the person become their own therapist. In assisting in the treatment of lowered mood and anxiety, CBT helps establish and build upon coping strategies. We focus on one of the main drivers of mental illness - low self-esteem - in order to drive recovery.

Is something just not quite right in your life? Is it something you might really need to talk about to someone objective to you in your life? Living with mental distress can be difficult. While the topic of mental health and the importance of speaking up is becoming normalised, stigma still exists and it can make it difficult to know where to turn for support. If you're not comfortable talking to friends or family, you may want to speak confidentially to a professional — and nowadays, this can be done privately from your own home interactively online through Zoom.
