I’m trained in multiple approaches (including ACT and ERP which are the best-researched approaches for anxiety and OCD), which means I can adapt the sessions to you and the type of anxiety you're experiencing, and that’s often what makes the difference.
Anxiety has a way of shaping more of your life than you'd like. For some people it looks like panic or physical sensations. For others it's never feeling good enough, holding back in relationships, going quiet when they'd want to speak up, or pushing through everything until they're exhausted
People come to me thinking something is wrong with them, when actually fear is keeping them stuck.

Are intrusive thoughts, anxiety or past experiences stopping you from living the life you want?
I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP) and Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with over 15 years' experience supporting adults with anxiety disorders, OCD and trauma-related difficulties.
OCD can be particularly isolating. Many people worry that their intrusive thoughts say something about who they are, or find themselves caught in exhausting cycles of checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals or avoidance. I have significant experience helping adults break free from these patterns using CBT and ERP.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
