Being worried and anxious can effect our whole lives. It may mean that we start to complete rituals to combat this anxiousness or it may mean that we avoid things (e.g. going to school) and stop doing things we previously enjoyed (e.g. social activities like clubs or hobbies). Similarly, if we feel low it might be difficult to get out of bed or be active. We might feel different to others, like we don’t fit in or we are not good enough. We may also be experiencing urges to self-harm or be having suicidal thoughts. Together, we can explore these thoughts and outline a plan to help you to feel better.
I am a specialist Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Psychotherapist. I have worked with children and young people who present with a range of issues, specialising on all types of anxieties, OCD, phobias, trauma and depression. I also specialise in neurodiversity including autism and ADHD.
During therapy, we will work together to explore issues and I will use a range of methods to help as much as I can. As well as talking about things you find difficult we will explore your strengths and the positives in your life. Sessions will be guided by you and we will explore things at your pace.

I am trained to use different approaches according to your needs. If you are anxious we might look at incorporating CBT to explore thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. If you have low self-esteem we might use person-centred. We can use these in conjunction with creative methods (drawing, painting, etc.), therapeutic play or talking methods.
