Therapy is a personal journey — a space to explore, grow and move towards the life you want.
Talking Therapy
Through many years of research CBT has been proven to help those struggling with mental health difficulties. We do this through understanding how we think, feel and behave in the here and now. We will look at the patterns and what maintains our difficulties, how we can adapt them in order to improve our general wellbeing.
CBT is a collaborative talking therapy where we will learn practical tools and techniques in order to reach your goals. We will make a clear plan together in our sessions to see how we will bring about these changes. In my practice, I will also use techniques and understanding from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy techniques and Compassion Focused Therapy techniques depending on individuals needs.
My Approaches
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT aims to understand our difficulties by exploring the way we think and behave which we find can at times be unhelpful. We can then learn better ways of coping and making change to improve our quality of life.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. It supports the brain in reprocessing memories so they feel less overwhelming, allowing someone to move forward with greater emotional balance and resilience.
Compassion Focused Therapy
CFT is a therapeutic approach that helps us develop self-compassion and emotional resilience by understanding and soothing our inner struggles with kindness rather than self-criticism. This can be particularly helpful with self-esteem, self-acceptance and improve our mood.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACT is a therapeutic approach that helps embrace our thoughts and emotions rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them, while also committing to actions that align with our values to create and live a more meaningful life.
