My own journey into psychology began with a general interest into how we tick as human beings and why some of us seem to suffer and cope better than others. I soon realised that where I really needed to be was at the cold face with people, helping them better understand and heal themselves. Now, as a qualified psychotherapist for many years, I not only get to do just that, but I also get to witness first-hand the courage and growth of my clients that is forever inspirational.

My approach to counselling is integrative, primarily Humanistic, CBT and Solution-Focused.
Is something on your mind? Perhaps something from your past that you've never fully dealt with? Counselling can help, allowing you the time to talk about what's going on for you in a non-judgemental and safe space. Working with a counsellor, you can find out your truth, have a better understanding of why you do and think the things you do, discover coping mechanisms and lighten your load. If that's something you would like to do with me then I would love to hear from you.

I use a mix of modalities and tools including CBT, person centered and reality therapy in a friendly and gentle way to guide people in the direction they feel is healthy for them.
In a time when we seem to have more material possessions, money and social connections than ever, there are a lot of people struggling with anxiety, depression, isolation and a sense of emptiness with the thoughts and feelings that they are the only ones feeling this way. We look around and see other people who seem to have it all together and then feel worse about ourselves without any idea about how we can change our situation. If you feel stuck and can relate to any of the above please let me encourage you to maybe put yourself first. It can be very helpful to chat with someone about what's going on and how to make changes needed

By adopting an integrated approach, I use counseling techniques from the humanistic and psychodynamic approach such as talk therapy, CBT and brief solution-focused therapy techniques.
Starting the counseling process is like deciding to take a road trip into parts unknown. Some parts of the journey will be familiar because you’d gone through them in your mind before and some will be foreign. The journey inward can be tiring, emotional and frustrating but also cathartic, and the feeling of achievement only grows with each new step into the unknown. The counselor is your tour guide who is there to give you directions on your journey and gently guide your expeditions, keeping you company when the road gets rough.

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.
