"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Life can be difficult at times and we tend to experience our greatest challenges when what we are doing is very different from what we would like to be doing. Sometimes our relationships might not be fulfilling or work can seem pointless or unsatisfactory. This can manifest in distressing thoughts, painful feelings and unhelpful behaviours. Our work together will help you to live a more rich and meaningful life.
I specialise in a range of mood and anxiety disorders, working with both adults and children. I provide assessments and treatments using evidence-based therapies (therapies that are established as effective), namely cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion focused therapy
I am passionate about working with people using a warm, compassionate and collaborative approach. I attempt to make therapy engaging and fun because lets face it, life can be pretty tough, so I try to keep therapy light, interesting and memorable, using techniques that work for you.
