I will draw from a range of modalities, including Person Centred, Transactional Analysis, CBT and Mindfulness approaches when working with you.
I am a qualified counsellor and I am here to help you when life feels too much. If you find yourself here, it may be because you find yourself trying to manage overwhelming life events and feelings. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, depressed, alone, lost, angry or confused. Perhaps you have lost someone important to you or have experienced a difficult or traumatic life event. Perhaps you find yourself coping with difficult relationships and you feel stuck or trapped and don't know what to do and which way to turn. I am here to support you, so that you can find your way back to living the life you want to live.

I specialise in two distinct therapeutic disciplines, namely: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy which enables me to work with clients seeking transformational change and support with deeper rooted, trauma related or life long challenges; and Cognitive, Behavioural and Motivational Therapies exploring issue-specific or outcomes focussed therapeutic change.
When we find ourselves in a place where our thoughts, feelings or behaviours are impacting upon our daily lives, counselling and psychotherapy sessions offer an opportunity to understand why this is happening, make positive changes for the better, and move forward to where we want to be.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
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.
