Are you feeling stressed, anxious or on edge? Do you criticise yourself or feel like you don't have the motivation to do the things you usually enjoy? Then Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT for short) might be the type of therapy for you. When we're experiencing anxiety or low mood people often describe feeling stuck in a vicious cycle. Using CBT we work together to understand what your cycle looks like and how we can break that cycle and create healthier habits and patterns of thinking. I am also qualified in delivering the Flash technique (an offshoot of EMDR) to work on and process traumatic or distressing memories.

A safe space and a therapist where you can feel at ease can be invaluable when you feel overwhelmed, depressed or anxious. Do your thoughts run around even when your body is still ? This can be exhausting and difficult to make sense of. Counselling is a place to give voice to these thoughts and make some sense of them.

A space for change, So often we feel that nothing will change, that we’ll always feel this way, so often we focus on the things we can't control, but change is possible. Do you feel that areas in your life are becoming overwhelming? impacting on your ability to function & engage with everyday life & enjoyments? are you feeling on a loop of intense emotions, coping strategies that only work temporarily, but not understanding the root cause of how & why you may be thinking & reacting in this way? are you now feeling that enough is enough something needs to change

Clinical psychologist with 20+ years experience in the mental health field. I offer assessment and formulation sessions as well as therapy sessions. In my view, the goal of therapy is not to find a "fix" or a speedy solution, but rather to help you explore and understand what has brought you to this point, what is keeping the difficulties going and what would help you to move forward and continue to move forward towards a place of good mental health. I am a specialist in anxiety and trauma (including social anxiety, OCD and PTSD) but work with people experiencing a range of struggles impacting their mental health.

It can be daunting to approach a therapist you don't know, and to consider the prospect of exploring things which might be painful. I believe we all have the ability to find our way through difficulties, but that sometimes we all need some help to get back on track if we feel stuck. Therapy can support you in exploring what is going on, and how to move forward. I'm a Psychotherapist in training at BCPC (Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling).

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
