My ideal client is an adult who is capable, insightful, and quietly overwhelmed. They may be neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, or both) and/or have a history of complex trauma. Daily life feels harder than it should — motivation, organisation, emotional regulation and follow-through are ongoing challenges. They are tired of feeling stuck, misunderstood, or self-critical. They want practical, compassionate support that helps them understand their patterns, work with their nervous system, and build a life that feels more manageable, meaningful and aligned with their values.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the pressures of high performance. Some are navigating ADHD, OCD, or feel stuck in repeating patterns that affect their personal or professional lives. Others are at a crossroads, facing major life transitions or questions about meaning and identity. Whether you're a business leader, a creative, or simply someone seeking clarity and relief, therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and grow. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and work toward meaningful change.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognising and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
