I am a psychotherapist with 12 years of experience, I am skilled in multiple therapeutic interventions (CBT, Acceptance&Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy&Mindfulness ).
Welcome! Ready to make that change? People come to therapy with questions. Whatever your questions may be, we can work on the answers together. Thoughts like “I’m not good enough”, “something is wrong with me”,“I’ll fail” or “I should/shouldn’t have done ..” are very common, resulting in negative effects on our emotions or mood, our behaviour or performance, or even worse our relationships. Do you want to find relief from suffering, and go on to build a richer, fuller life? If so, I am here to offer you support.

My work draws on a number of theoretical frameworks including, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavioural therapy ( DBT ), humanistic, and psychodynamic.
The decision to invest in your mental health is a commendable and brave step to make, however I understand that it can be intimidating to know where to start. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that I can help to create a safe space, in which, together we can explore how to better understand your emotional difficulties, appreciate your skills and strengths and enable you to feel better equipped to build and manage a meaningful life.

Which means I can apply one or more treatment approaches (CBT, ACT, DBT , etc) when delivering the sessions according to my clients needs.
Mental health is a broad topic. Even nowadays people seem to find it difficult to go to a therapist because of the stigma around mental health. I am here to fight for it ! Seeking help for your mental health is as natural as going to a doctor when you are physically ill or asking for extra hand when you cannot assemble your furniture on your own. Does that not sound natural and normal? So does seeking help for your health. Additionally, there are no such criteria in order to seek help. So in order to seek help it does not mean you have to have a diagnosed mental health problem.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counsellors

Who is DBT for?

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.
