Life can be challenging, and navigating its complexities can sometimes feel overwhelming. At times, we all need help in healing and personal growth.

I provide an encouraging and nurturing space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We work collaboratively with you to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back. I aim to empower you with the knowledge, tools and strategies to create positive change, overcome difficulties, and enhance your overall well-being.

Approach to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & How I Work

I take a person-centred and compassionate approach to therapy. My sessions are all about collaboration. We work together, as a team, to help you find new ways to move forward, overcome challenges, and realise your potential. To achieve this, I utilise Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT). This explores the how you think, feel, and behave and the links between them. It is an active form of therapy that looks at making changes and learning tools to address difficulties you are experiencing.

I take a formulation-driven approach towards CBT. This means we work together to develop an understanding of your problem(s), how all the symptoms and difficulties it causes link together, and the causes of the problem. We can then use this formulation as a roadmap to guide treatment and help target the key areas to help you move forward.

Additional Rate Information

I offer a free initial consultation lasting 30 minutes. This is an opportunity to gain an outline of your difficulties, if I can help, and if I am the right therapist and approach for you. After this consultation, if you do not wish to proceed further, you are under no obligation to. I understand that a 60 minute session might be too much for some people. If you require shorter sessions to meet your needs then the price can be adjusted accordingly. Discounts available for block bookings.
