Would you like help after a difficult life experience? Perhaps you are finding it difficult to sleep or to concentrate on things that you can normally do without difficulty? You may have been through a difficult experience recently or in the past and know exactly what you would like some help with. Equally, you might be feeling really down or anxious in general or in particular situations and not know why. It could be that something that happened to you a long time ago is still causing difficulties.

It takes courage to seek therapy and to be willing to share and be vulnerable with another person. People seek therapy for many different reasons - sometimes we may be struggling particularly with our mental health, feeling distressed and overwhelmed. At other times, it may be that we need a space away from the rest of our lives and relationships to explore and think through dilemmas, issues or past experiences. Therapy can help to work through difficulties, manage distress and to support people to engage with their lives and what is meaningful to them.

I draw on psychological approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy,
Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (
CBT
), and Psychodynamic ideas, dependent on your needs.
Life can often be unfair & destabilising, and starting therapy when things are difficult is a brave decision. Many of us grew up in environments where it was unusual to discuss emotions. Talking through the impact of life's challenges, naming what you would like to be different, and doing this in a protected space, can be surprisingly empowering. I am a passionate doctoral-trained Clinical Psychologist with clinical expertise in supporting people affected by stress related to academia/work, health problems, identity, friendships, relationships & changing life circumstances.

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 (catastrophizing) 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.
