I work with people who want to improve the way they feel and how they do life, so as to enjoy a greater sense of positive wellbeing. This may include: learning how to manage chronic anxiety, overcoming acute panic episodes, working through an unexpected new challenge or adjusting to change, processing an unresolved grief/loss, or recovering from the fatigue and low motivation of burnout. Whatever your concern, I can offer you understanding and support for where you are right now. I can also teach you new skills and techniques to help you find your way forward and begin to experience more joy, calm, confidence and optimism.
I am an experienced psychologist, using well researched evidence-based therapies that have been shown to be effective. I have worked in universities, corporate organizations, and private practice. My PhD had a Positive Psychology focus re how to cope with failures and setbacks, moving forward with optimism. I have a particular interest in anxiety disorders.
Struggling with mental health issues can feel exhausting and lonely. Together we can explore what is troubling you; helping you better understand what has contributed to how you feel and what is maintaining it now. I will involve you in a practical treatment approach that makes sense to you, so that you will feel empowered to work towards real improvement.

Although treatment will be individually tailored according to what best supports your specific needs, there are some common areas of intervention which may be addressed. These include: improving your ability to manage difficult emotions, overcoming self-limiting perfectionism, balancing work with play, letting go of over-responsibility for others, and learning to value yourself and your needs.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps us realise how much our thoughts can influence our feelings and behaviour, and how intervening at any point in this system brings change. Schema Therapy identifies negative schemas/themes about ourselves and our world, and understanding of how we developed those themes. It then offers us pathways to healing, including developing new healthy positive schemas.
