Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in Nottingham
My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing upon my training and experience in Personal Construct Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches.
I provide a supportive environment in which we can explore together the difficulties that you're experiencing without any judgement. Life can be tough, and change can be hard. We often get fused to unwanted thoughts, beliefs, and struggle with them. We can often feel despair and a sense of hopelessness. I help people realise that unwanted thoughts, feelings, and circumstances can, and do, change, and help people make positive differences in their life.

I like to use ACT to help build skills and flexibility to strengthen stability in your healing journey.
The people I see are "too complex" for services, "Not stable enough" for therapy or have physical symptoms which have been labelled "functional" or "Medically unexplained". They are people who want to live their lives on their terms, not dictated by trauma, distress or functional physical symptoms.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected?
You’re not alone. Whether you’re struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ASD, ADHD, or BPD, or other difficulties you might find it hard to express what’s really going on. Maybe traditional talking therapy feels intimidating, or words just don’t feel enough. Want to feel heard, understood, and supported in a way that truly works for you—without pressure or judgment? My goal is to help you process emotions, build resilience, and find clarity using methods that feel safe and comfortable for you. Therapy should adapt to you, not the other way around.

For following sessions, I then draw upon a range of modalities, including CBT, attachment, person centered, acceptance and commitment, and compassion focused therapy, integrating the most appropriate approach for you.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming and during these times we may develop patterns, thoughts and behaviours that can become unhelpful or tough to challenge.
Counselling and psychotherapy can help you explore and understand patterns that have emerged in your life and provides an opportunity to work through these. It can help to relieve pain, depression or anxiety, help you make decisions, help you to work towards better relationships with those around you, or live a life according to what is important to you.
