I've trained in DBT which helps with creating a better relationship with emotions and managing self-destructive behaviours.
I work with individuals aged 16+ who may be coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, identity issues, overwhelming emotions or relationship struggles to name a few. They want to live a life that aligns with them better, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. Therapy offers the possibility for this.

I primarily offer CBT and CBT-E, alongside integrating DBT, ACT and Compassion-Focused approaches where helpful.
Living with an eating disorder can be really difficult. Between guilt around food, constant body checking, and pressure to look a certain way, it can feel as if your mind is stuck in a loop that’s hard to step out of.
Many feel caught between two different versions of themselves: one that believes control over food or weight is crucial, and another that knows there is more to life than rules and self-criticism, but doesn’t know how to make lasting change. This can bring doubt, but your experience is very human and manageable.
There is a place where food feels more neutral, choices come from self-trust, and worth comes from within.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
