Something isn’t working the way it used to. You’re still functioning, but keeping things steady is taking more effort and starting to show in your mood, relationships, habits or day-to-day life. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but still struggle to change. This may include anxiety, burnout, avoidance, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, gambling, alcohol use or other ways of coping that once helped but are now getting in the way. Together, we make sense of what is driving the pattern and build practical, sustainable ways forward.
I work in a practical, behaviour-focused way. Together, we look at what has shaped your patterns, what keeps them going, and what needs to change. The aim is not simply more insight, but practical changes you can notice in everyday life. You are not a problem to solve; you are a pattern to understand.
You may be dealing with anxiety, burnout, avoidance, self-criticism, or patterns around alcohol, gambling or other ways of coping. You do not have to wait until things reach crisis point. If something feels stuck or harder than it should, you are welcome to reach out and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, low self-worth, and patterns around gambling, alcohol, other drugs or pornography that have become difficult to shift. Many have already tried to push through or manage things alone. Together, we make sense of what is driving the pattern and work toward practical, realistic change.

I use approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT and exposure-based therapy to help shift patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together, we look at what has shaped the way you cope and build practical ways to respond differently to stress, anxiety and urges. Therapy is supportive, but also active, focused and grounded in what is most likely to help in everyday life.
