I use an integrative approach as I do not believe one style fits all. This means I will suggest utilising the most appropriate approach according to individual needs and wants. The main approaches I work with, but not limited to, are EMDR & CBT.
My 'Intensives' offer the depth of long-term work in a condensed format, allowing space for insight, emotional processing, and lasting change; working in half/ full day or week blocks- for people who prefer taking time out to focus on accelerated change without the delay of years of weekly sessions (this isn't appropriate for every body and is on an individual basis).

Clients have come to me for many different reasons. From dealing with past traumas, connecting with their emotions and understanding their reactions, to working on a better sense of self and building confidence. Each client comes to therapy seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts and emotions. They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.

Sometimes things build up gradually. Other times, something happens that leaves you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, anger, relationship problems, pornography addiction, low confidence, or simply finding it hard to make sense of what's going on.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to have the right words or know exactly what the problem is. Therapy gives you the chance to talk things through at your own pace, in a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can be yourself.
