I am trained in CBT so although this approach will form the foundation of our sessions, I may also integrate other types of psychotherapy depending on your needs.
As a fellow human being, I know how challenging life can be sometimes but it’s important to know that you are not alone. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or stressed at work. You may going through a significant life change or you may be feeling stuck, generally unhappy and don't know how to move forward. Whatever the reason, and whether this is a recent problem or something you have been struggling with for a while, I can work with you to make sense of what you are experiencing and help you get clarity on what needs to change.

By collaboratively exploring your values, you will be supported and encouraged to live the life you want to be living. You are unique. To be most effective, therapy should be tailored to you — matching your own internal experiences (thoughts and emotions) and external life experiences. Fortunately, there are a variety of psychological therapies and therapeutic practices that together we can choose from, to help you feel the best version of yourself.

I integrate traditional approaches (CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic) with body-oriented & transpersonal approaches (Breathwork, EFT, Focusing, Ecotherapy & Mindfulness) to help clients find deeper and more embodied change.
There are times when we find it hard to navigate life with our own resources alone and need someone outside of our social circle, with fresh (and kind) eyes and ears, to walk with us. Perhaps you are going through a depressive episode, low mood, anxiety, loss, grief; or experience identity crisis, loss of meaning, or self-esteem issues which makes it hard to find or maintain romantic relationships. You might be going through existential-spiritual crises or resurfaced childhood traumas and heartbreaks. Whichever it is, I am here to support you with compassion, presence and understanding.

Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask! If obstacles have previously prevented this, it does not mean the future need be the same. Change is always possible and often we need a helping hand.

I use a range of techniques known for improving sleep, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, Coaching, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Are you or your family struggling with sleep? Feeling like you’ve tried everything but still can’t get the sleep you need? Maybe you’re struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Or perhaps getting your teen to sleep is a nightly battle. It can be frustrating and exhausting when you or a member of your family aren’t sleeping. And when one family member isn’t sleeping well, the rest of the family usually aren’t sleeping well either. Relationships can become strained, work or school performance can suffer, and it can feel really isolating. Without good sleep it can feel like everything is falling apart.

How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?

Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
