Most people who reach out to me are holding it together on the outside. Working, showing up, doing the things. Underneath, something has been carrying too much for too long. Trauma, addiction, anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship stress, or that stuck feeling that's hard to name. Some don't know where to begin, only that things can't keep going the way they have. Therapy is a place to slow down and make sense of what's been happening, at your pace.

People often reach out to do some counselling or therapy with me because something has been feeling stuck or uncomfortable within themself and/or in their relationships. There is often a repetitive theme to difficulties, and it might feel a bit hopeless.
I help people to better understand and improve their relationship with themselves and others. Therapy works to connect up new self-understandings, alongside the learning of new skills in areas such as relationships communication, self-soothing/ self-regulation, and better appraisal of automatic thoughts and reactions that can sometimes undermine our sense of well-being.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
